Twenty Years in Tibet

Locked up for centuries beyond the Himalayas, Tibet has held a fascination for many with its mysterious traditions. Of mighty palaces and monasteries, we hear alluring tales. Of magical mysticism we hear much. And what of the intrigues that brush the soul of this remote and strange land? This enchanting book captures the mood at a time when the Tibetans had thrown off the influence of the great Chinese cloak. A cloak that seemed set to chip away at the independence of this great Lamaist hermitage.
