[Charles Agvent]

HARRER, Heinrich. SEVEN YEARS IN TIBET. Norwalk, CT: Easton  Press
2004.    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.  Laid in are the publisher's certificate  and  note.
Fine                                                           $300.00
