1924160717Calcutta: c.1924-26. With unpublished material for the author's magnum opus My Journey to Lhasa A compact and unusually rich archive of manuscripts typescripts letters and a rare early portrait of the 13th Dalai Lama illuminating the life and working methods of Alexandra David-Néel 1868-1969 the pioneering explorer and Buddhist scholar whose My Journey to Lhasa 1927 made her the most celebrated Western interpreter of Tibet. Chief among the contents are the original four-page manuscript draft of the introduction to My Journey to Lhasa and a substantially revised 21-page typescript both revealing her voice with uncommon immediacy and preserving material omitted from the published text. The archive also includes a vivid ten-page typescript recounting a confrontation with Tibetan robbers three autograph letters to her friend Basiswar "Boshi" Sen discussing the preparation and placement of her articles and a studio portrait of the 13th Dalai Lama probably taken in Calcutta in 1910 during his exile. Taken together these documents trace David-Néel's intellectual formation her pivotal meeting with the Dalai Lama in 1912 and the arduous travels that culminated in her clandestine entry into Lhasa in 1924. They also map her relationships with central figures in the Buddhist and artistic circles of the period including the Roerichs and illustrate the publication pathway that led to her landmark book. With correspondence from her brief return to Calcutta immediately after reaching Lhasa the archive captures her at the moment of transition from itinerant seeker to authoritative writer. Material of this breadth and significance is exceptionally scarce on the market reinforcing the importance of this newly surfaced collection.

Alexandra David-Neel was a fascinating woman daring to travel in disguise through the Far East going through traditional Buddhist lands including the sacred city of Lhasa before other Westerners much less women! were permitted such license. The daughter of an exiled Parisian she spent years travelling and living in Buddhist monasteries before returning to Paris and becoming a celebrity. Her fame spread both through her writings and her exploits well-reported and toasted in society. She died at the age of 100 in 1969. David-Neel's writing helped inspire the nascent interest in Buddhism throughout Europe of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Never one to find herself confined to the academy her writing does not suffer from the typical formulaic writing that much of religious studies scholarship possesses. Her work is clear and accessible almost chatty at times as befits a woman who lived the practices and beliefs of which she writes rather than merely studying. Buddhism has made significant in-roads into the Western psyche since Mme. David-Neel's first writings; many of the principles and beliefs she covers here are covered in greater detail elsewhere. However David-Neel provides a wonderful introduction to Buddhism particularly for those who have little or no background in the subject. She looks at the legendary life of the Buddha recounting the tales in lively form. She looks at the basis of the teaching of the Buddha and the general principles of belief derived from them most notably the issues of suffering and elimination of suffering the Eight-fold path and the ideas of karma karman David-Neel uses a more neutral term linguistically and nirvana. The idea of confusion of philosophy and religion starts on the very first page of David-Neel's introduction – Buddhism lacks many of the 'classic' hallmarks of religion lack of a deity is but one; David-Neel opts in this work not to go into the more arcane arguments of philosophy versus theology versus religion but rather explains the experiential and practical side of Buddhism whose adherents are rarely concerned about this distinction other than as an intellectual exercise. David-Neel concentrates primarily on the oldest form of Buddhism Therevada Buddhism drawing in Tibetan and Mahayana Buddhism at different points; like the denominational divisions in Christianity there is still a common core and these commonalities form the majority of the narrative. The appendices have translations of pieces of Buddhist writings and scripture including rules for moral living meditation and various other pieces of interest. Some are sayings some are poetry and some are in dialogue form showing the diversity of writing forms. I have a special place in my heart for this book for it was the first religious-studies book I ever read decades ago. I return to it regularly and recommend it frequently; while it is neither comprehensive nor exhaustive in its study it provides a fresh and unique insight into Buddhism rarely captured in more academic texts.</p> The Bodley Head. hardcover
