About This Item
Putnam Publishing Group, 1998. Softcover. Very Good. 5x0x8. In Very Good+ condition. Seven Years in Tibet told the incredible story of an idyllic life on the "roof of the world," before it was destroyed by the invading Chinese army. Now Austrian adventurer Heinrich Harrer revisits the people and places he left behind, in the extraordinary Return to Tibet. Against a backdrop of ruined monasteries and the beautiful, mysterious Himalayas, Harrer vividly evokes both a free Tibet, in which religion and faith were central features of daily life, and the present-day occupied nation, in which a profoundly spiritual culture is threatened with disappearance. He reflects on the country's problems, and in a reunion with his former pupil the Dalai Lama discusses ways of preserving the Tibetans' national character and their homeland.
