Product Description
Product Description
Seven Years in Tibet told of an idyllic life on the 'rooftop of the world', before Harrer was forced to flee from the invading Chinese armies. Thirty years later, he returns to describe how the Chinese have attempted to destroy this ancient civilisation. Meeting old Tibetan acquaintances, including the Dalai Lama now living in exile in northern India, Harrer examines the current thaw in Peking's relations with this isolated and mysterious country. In its vivid evocation of Tibet, past and present, Return to Tibet provides a fascinating insight into the durability of this profoundly spiritual culture.

Format:Paperback
After Reading Seven Years in Tibet , I was intrigued to now more about Tibet and Heinrich Harrer. This book enabled me to do not only that but also to reflect on an isolated and endangered culture. Harrer's acounts will fill you with sympathy and respect for the Tibetan people even if the book itself is not the most readable.
Format:Paperback
Excellant book, Heinrich Harrer is a superb author i never get tierd of his work. It enthuses you to wander in places you have only dreamed of, his hole view on life is enlightning. Wish i had met the chap.
