My Journey to Lhasa

My Journey to Lhasa

"Involves us intensely in a world that no longer exists—that of free Tibet….Fervent and admirably unsentimental…[David-Neel] had to exercise the utmost ingenuity to survive."— New York Times Book Review
Originally published in 1927, My Journey to Lhasa is a powerful, entertaining record of danger and achievement that has become one of the most remarkable and inspirational of all travelers' tales. Disguised as a beggar, Alexandra David-Neel tackled some of the roughest terrain and climate, suffered primitive travel conditions, frequent outbreaks of disease, the ever-present danger of border control, and the military to become the first woman to penetrate Tibet and reach Lhasa—and the first Western woman to have been received by any Dalai Lama.-Print ed.
