The cave of the yellow dog : a Mongolian journey / Byambasuren Davaa and Lisa Reisch ; translated by Sally-Ann Spencer. . - London : Virago, 2007. - xi, 140 p. , [32] p. of plates : col. ill ; 22 cm.

Davaa, a young filmmaker, returns to her native country and to the region where she grew up to show us life among the nomadic people. Through the touching story of the young girl Nansaa and her little dog Zochor, she depicts the freedom of life on the steppes, as well as the spirituality of the people and the significance of the Buddhist faith. Delicate and poignant, Davaas story also highlights the increasing tensions as these rich traditions come into conflict with the demands of modern urban life.
