Vol. 2 (of 2)" by Sven Hedin is a travelogue and exploration narrative written in the early 20th century. The book recounts the author's expeditions across the Trans-Himalayan region, focusing on the natural beauty, culture, and the various adventures he encounters while navigating the challenging landscape of Tibet and its remote monasteries. At the start of this volume, Hedin introduces readers to the somber existence of a lama immured in a cave as part of a solemn vow of seclusion. The narrative paints a vivid picture of the hermit's austere lifestyle, detailing his confinement and the practices surrounding his solitary existence. As the author reflects on the trials of this monk and visits various monasteries, he highlights the tension between the spiritual commitments of the Tibetan people and the harsh realities of their environment, setting a contemplative tone that carries through the opening chapters. There’s also an exploration of the landscape as the author embarks on ascents through valleys, offering insight into the region's geography and the people's culture.
