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
