German Hardback with lovely black and white plates. Fosco Maraini travelled Tibet as a wanderer in the late 1940s. He talked to people of all backgrounds and classes. His book is very graphic, making us feel that we were there with him in old Tibet. It will be clear to the reader from the start that in the tradition of Italian travellers from the days of Marco Polo, Fosco Maraini went there to learn, to understand, to give and to receive. His encounter with the people of Tibet, from princesses to peasants, aided as he was by a good knowledge of the language, is a true meeting of minds. The text, which attests to the disciplines of the scholar allied to the sensitivity of the poet, is enriched by the indisputable narrative value of the author's photographs, including many Buddhist temple artefacts now forever lost.
