[Christian · Rating 4 out of 5]

A delicate balance of revealing photographs that expose the Mongolian life, spirit, culture and reality without judgement and an assured text that is positively biased and fascinated with a different (older) way of life: nomadic. Landscape scenery or smiles shine and depict delight in every day life. Poignant portraits lift the mood and children, adult, elders or monks connect with the viewers through a sensible lens from photographer Frederic Hermann. Experience travel writer, Fabienne Tisserand, is charmed by the country and its people and it shows. We reader are equally enthralled by the customns, history, harsh realities and easy living of this remote location on Earth. We are welcomed to the land of nomads who feel free and know how to sustain and help each other. Lessons learned and life lived. This book is a wondrous voyage among them.
