Kathmandu Review: Not that many books like it on the market - Hoping to travel to Kathmandu with friends in the future. This will be my way of preparing for the trip. Very detailed and helpful. Not that many books like it on the market. Review: Review of the book Kathmandu by Thomas Bell - I bought this book on desertcart.in. This book is not really a novel, but it is. It is not really a travel book, but it is. It is not really an autobiography, but it is –one that is dedicated to a relatively small but major part of the author’s life. And yes, a small but major part of the life of the country he writes about. Nepal. Whatever it is, it was pleasurable reading for me, because it was all about Kathmandu and Nepal, and at least to my biased eyes, the author seems to share my love for that city and that country, Himalayan warts and all. The book is about the author’s stay in Kathmandu. He came there as a press correspondent the year after the royal palace massacre of June 2001. I think he is still there as I write this review in March 2018. He came at a time of an armed Maoist insurgency and overall political turmoil, turmoil that continues to this day. He became besotted with Nepal, like I did. He lived with a traditional family in a traditional part of town. He married a Nepali lady and they have kids. He developed deep friendships with Nepalese of all castes and social and economic statuses. He took great pains to research Nepal, mostly from the political history viewpoint, and he has gems in the book that I found enthralling. He dug up old manuscripts that talk about the Nepal of the days well before the country opened up to the world in the 1950s. He went deep into Maoist held territory at the height of the insurgency. He talked to Maoist rebels. He made friends in the army and police. He got insider stories of the war and the atrocities committed by both sides. And he put it all into this book. That is what makes it a fascinating read for me.. Will it make a fascinating read for you? I hope so. I think you should try it out. If you have already been to Nepal, you will find it engrossing. If you plan to go to Nepal some time, you will still find it engrossing. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 1910376388 | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,802,926 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #7 in Kathmandu Travel Guides #118 in General India Travel Guides #4,991 in Asian History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (78) | | Dimensions | 5.5 x 1.9 x 8.75 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 9781910376386 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1910376386 | | Item Weight | 2.5 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 352 pages | | Publication date | April 15, 2016 | | Publisher | Haus Publishing | ## Images ![Kathmandu - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71gd01VcPOL.jpg) ![Kathmandu - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/313Zq-LQavL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not that many books like it on the market *by B***K on October 18, 2017* Hoping to travel to Kathmandu with friends in the future.
