HARRER, Heinrich. SEVEN YEARS IN TIBET. Norwalk, CT: Easton Press
2004. First Edition. Bound in full brown publisher's leather with
gilt ornamentation. "Originally published in 1953, this adventure
classic recounts Austrian mountaineer Heinrich Harrer's 1943 escape
from a British internment camp in India, his daring trek across the
Himalayas, and his happy sojourn in Tibet, then, as now, a remote
land little visited by foreigners. Warmly welcomed, he eventually
became tutor to the Dalai Lama, teenaged god-king of the theocratic
nation. The author's vivid descriptions of Tibetan rites and customs
capture its unique traditions before the Chinese invasion in 1950,
which prompted Harrer's departure." Brad Pitt starred as the author
in the film version of the book. SIGNED by the author on the
limitation page. New, in shrinkwrap. $250.00
