[Rarebooks] FS: SEVEN YEARS IN TIBET, Limited SIGNED Edition

[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. (#014105)        $300.00
