Hearing Birds Fly – A Nomadic Year in Mongolia
Louisa Waugh`s passionately written account of her time in a remote Mongolian village. Frustrated by the increasingly bland character of the capital city of Ulan Bator, she yearned for the real Mongolia and recounts here her time in the village of Tsengel. Waugh`s time in the village was marked by coming to terms with the harshness of climate and also by how she faced up to new feelings towards the treatment of animals, death, solitude and real loneliness, and the constant struggle to censor her reactions as an outsider. Above all, she aims to involve readers with the locals` lives in such a way that we come to know them and care for their fates.
