Author: Bernis and Peter von zer Muehlen
This book describes the authors’ experiences living in Kath - mandu between May 1984 and May 1985. It is about a country and a culture that has undergone significant changes driven largely by growing economic inequality and turmoil, in large part caused by governmental mismanagement and corruption and punctuated by the disastrous earthquake of 2012. It is a country that anyone, who lived there forty years ago, may perhaps no longer recognize, a Nepal that is lost forever.Much of the book dwells on intimate details of life in the Kath - mandu Valley, its people and their environs, including places of worship, mostly represented by thousands of “power places” known as “Shaktipita” that are scattered all over the valley.
