Description:
New Dehli, India: Lustre Press/Roli Books. New in New dust jacket. 2004. Third Edition. Hardcover. Nestling amidst the great Himalayas, the tiny kingdom of Tibet evokes images of monasteries, meditating monks, Buddhism and, towering above them all, the Dalai Lama. The Tibetan diaspora is perhaps the only community in the world today wherein the spiritual head also dons the mantle of political leadership. This book journeys through Tibet - the exile of the current (fourteenth) Dalai Lama and his followers and their epic escape to seek refuge in India - the abrupt transportation of their lives from the medieval period to the 20th century and the continuing non-violent struggle of His Holiness for Tibetan rights and his homeland. Of sizeable contemporary interest and interspersed with rare archival photos, this book is an empathetic look at the spiritual influence that continues to guide Tibetans today. Includes full color photographs. ; Color Photographs; 4to - over 9¾ -…

Description:
Barnes & Noble Books,u. S.. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1993. Second Printing. Hardcover. With the narrative skill and superb sense of place and time for which he is famous, Ernle Bradford brings to life the man we know as Saint Paul - the thirteenth apostle and great Christian missionary of the first century. Born into the Jewish aristocracy of Asia Minor - he was the son of a Pharisee - it was inevitable that he should travel to Jerusalem to study in the Temple; perhaps it was also inevitable that he should have been part of the enraged crowd that stoned to death the first Christian martyr, Stephen. Bradford portrays Paul as a proud and opinionated man, and it took a miracle on the road to Damascus to convince him that his true master was the crucified Galilean whom men called Jesus. " 246 pages, indexed. The jacket back has a vertical line of tiny indents. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. .

New York, New York, U. S. A.: Harper San Francisco. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1999. Second Printing. Hardcover. From the book: "The pilgrim's progress is both an interior journey, a spiritual exercise, and a physical journey toward an actual site imbued with a divine character. The condition of the pilgrim, in fact, comes remarkably close to that of the hero. By abandoning familiar, worldly surroundings, submitting (oneself) to physical hardship and sometimes considerable danger, paying homage or doing penance at a holy site, pilgrims, like heroes, know that they will return from their odyssey in some way renewed, or at least inwardly changed. " 268 pages, price is clipped; there is a small mark from a label on the first blank page. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. .
