1935159686Paris: Plon 1935. Inscribed by the author and her adoptive Tibetan son First edition first printing presentation copy inscribed on the half-title: "A Monsieur Henry Bénazet avec mes compliments Alexandra David-Néel" and additionally in Tibetan by Lama A. Yongden. While relatively well-represented institutionally inscribed copies are notably scarce; an exceptionally well-preserved example of the first novel written for Western readers by a Tibetan lama. The French-Belgian explorer Alexandra David-Néel 1868-1969 travelled extensively in India and Tibet in the first half of the 20th century in order to study Buddhism. Her interest in travel was nurtured from a young age and while studying in Paris in 1889-90 she immersed herself in Asian languages and joined a number of secret and spiritual societies. In 1917 she travelled to China and took up a three-year residence at the famous Kumbum monastery where she spent her time translating Buddhist texts into English and French. A talented linguist she became conversant in multiple Tibetan dialects affording her access to fascinating experiences unavailable to most other outsiders. Aphur Yongden also known as Lopon Tenzin Namdak 1899-1955 was a Tibetan lama and spiritual teacher. He first met David-Néel in 1919 and the two quickly formed a close bond. Together they embarked on a journey to Lhasa in 1924 which was fraught with danger and difficulty as the two had to travel incognito in order to avoid detection by the Tibetan authorities. Despite the numerous challenges the pair eventually reached the capital and spent several months there immersing themselves in Tibetan culture. Consequently David-Néel was the first Western woman to visit the sacred city. She formally adopted Yongden as her son in 1929. In her writings she praised Yongden's wisdom and religious insights and credited him with deepening her understanding and shaping her spiritual journey. Le Lama aux cinq sagesses is the tale of two lovers overcoming occult forces while also describing Tibetan people and their spiritualism. It was a collaborative effort and "the first fictional attempt by a Tibetan to depict true Tibetan life" Winks p. 89. David-Néel comments on the reflections prior to commencing the book in her introduction: "Several trips outside Tibet have already allowed my son to make some contact with the western world and some books published there concerning Tibet have come into his hands Why he said to me do people who have never entered Tibet who know nothing about the look of the country and the customs of its inhabitants venture to write about them Everything I have read of their descriptions is completely incorrect If you so blame those who present a false and grotesque picture of your country in their books you must contest them with correct descriptions of the men and things here. Write a book that will. I will write your book in my language" our translation. It was translated into English in 1938. The knowledge of Tibetan Buddhism that David-Néel and Yongden proliferated has had a profound influence on the spiritual landscape of the West and its teachings and practices continue to be a source of inspiration.

Black cloth decorated spine. No dust jacket. No former owner marks. David-Neel is most known for her 1924 visit to Lhasa Tibet when it was forbidden to foreigners. David-Néel wrote over 30 books about Eastern religion philosophy and her travels including Magic and Mystery in Tibet. Her teachings influenced the beat writers Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg the popularisers of Eastern philosophy Alan Watts and Ram Dass and the esotericist Benjamin Creme. She joined various secret societies – she would reach the thirtieth degree in the mixed Scottish Rite of Freemasonry – while feminist and anarchist groups greeted her with enthusiasm. Her master the Gomchen of Lachen gave her the religious name of Yeshe Tome "Lamp of Wisdom" which proved valuable to her because she was then known by Buddhist authorities everywhere she went in Asia.
