所谓"小史"，是说这些边角文字谈论的多半不是红色年代的宏大叙事，不是规律和必然性，更不是"历史和人民的选择"，而是在大时代大事件中活动和生存的个人或者群体的经历。所谓"小史"，也是说这些文字依据的材料不是红头文件或者"公报"，不是调查报告也不是统计资料，而是零零碎碎和人的经历有关的故事和细节。但它们又都是有出处的，很多出自人物传记、学术专著、新闻报道和历史亲历者的叙述，也有的来自于一些原始材料和笔者的实地勘访。所以虽然不属正史，但也还有别于道听途说的野史。

This book gives an account of some amazing places which the author was fortunate to visit in China--from magical Guilin to historical Zunyi; from the stunning Three Gorges to tropical Hainan; from cities of the eastern provinces to the Avatar mountains of Zhangjiajie; from relaxing Xishuangbanna to hectic Hong Kong and Macau; and in the north from the Mongolian grasslands of Nei Menggu to the heart of it all: Beijing. Many people travel today, with something approaching 10,000,000 people in the air on an average day. Yet this is only a fraction of those who travel by other means. Why? For relaxation? For education? To get away? Or simply to say they have ""been there""? On his own travels, the author saw many tourists arrive at a scene, struggle to get to a vantage point, get there, take the obligatory photograph and move on. They have not even looked, let alone appreciated where they are. All they are doing is ticking off places on their ""bucket list"". In this book, the author is striving to delve deeper, especially when it comes to the significance of Beijing.

This story is of a twenty-one day trek into some of the most extraordinary mountainous terrain on the planet. The author chose to do the trek in December 2017 to avoid the tens of thousands of visitors this part of the world can receive in warmer months. With mountains soaring over 8,000 metres, and a frozen lake that is the largest in the world for its almost 5,000 metre altitude, it is easy to see why people are drawn to this place.However, it is not just this beautiful and still wild country that entices so many – but also the Nepalese people, who for over five thousand years have lived and thrived in this land known as Nepal and the Himalayas. Here the author spent all of the twenty-one days covered in this book, then another nine days in Kathmandu, which is indeed one of the most interesting cities the world over.So dear reader – be prepared for an adventure. Even with the bumps that come with travel, nothing can take away from the sheer grandeur and beauty that are the Himalayan mountains, which continue to gain elevation every year due to the natural forces of the Earth’s tectonic plates.

Gesichter NepalsNepal ist mit Sicherheit landschaftlich eines der extremsten Länder, aber ebenso extrem freundlich sind die Menschen in Nepal. Die Herzlichkeit der Menschen, gleich welcher Religion, ob arm oder vermögend, hat mich mitgerissen und zum Teil auch nachdenklich gestimmt.Dieser Bildband ist den vielen lächelnden, arbeitenden und nachdenklichen Menschen Nepals gewidmet, denen ich auf der Reise begegnet bin.Danke!
