In this book, Asia expert Thomas Bell recounts Dragon Haven (the Rain Wild Chronicles, Book 2) free download pdf his experiences from his many years in the city exploring in the process the rich history of Kathmandu and its many instances of self-reinvention.

The layered development of the city can be seen in the successive generations of its gods and goddesses; its comfort in the caste system and ethos of aristocracy and kingship; and the recent destabilizing effects of consumerist approaches and the push for egalitarianism and democracy.
