About this book
Snowy peaks, forest flowers and evening skies lead Francis Edward Younghusband into a discussion of how people perceive natural beauty. Published in 1921, his book combines descriptions of Himalayan landscapes with reflections on love, sympathy and the spiritual character of nature. The contents range across the Sikkim Himalaya and Teesta Valley, following vegetation, animal life and mountain scenery before turning towards broader questions about purpose and human responsibility.
A passage from his camp in Tibet compares the colours of sunsets with gemstones and flowers, then describes the feeling of expansion those open views awaken. In the introduction, Younghusband argues that an observer's mood affects the beauty a landscape reveals, and that sharing impressions through art can deepen this response. Two addresses on natural beauty and geography extend the discussion.
