A folding map is expected with this title other issues not present here. In fact there are different issues of this work with different paginations. "French missionary-traveller was born at Toulouse on the 1st of August 1813. In his twenty-fourth year he entered the congregation of the Lazarists at Paris and shortly after receiving holy orders in 1839 went out to China. At Macao he spent some eighteen months in the Lazarist seminary preparing himself for the regular work of a missionary. Having acquired some command of the Chinese tongue and modified his personal appearance and dress in accordance with Chinese taste he started from Canton. He at first superintended a Christian mission in the southern provinces and then passing to Peking where he perfected his knowledge of the language eventually settled in the Valley of Black Waters or He Shuy a little to the north of the capital and just within the borders of Mongolia. There beyond the Great Wall a large but scattered population of native Christians had found a refuge from the persecutions of Kia-King to be united half a century later in a vast but vague apostolic vicariate. The assiduity with which Huc devoted himself to the study of the dialects and customs of the Tatars for whom at the cost of much labour he translated various religious works was an admirable preparation for undertaking in 1844 at the instigation of the vicar apostolic of Mongolia an expedition whose object was to dissipate the obscurity which hung over the country and habits of the Tibetans. September of that year found the missionary at Dolon Nor occupied with the final arrangements for his journey and shortly afterwards accompanied by his fellow-Lazarist Joseph Gabet and a young Tibetan priest who had embraced Christianity he set out. To escape attention the little party assumed the dress of lamas or priests. Crossing the Hwang-ho they advanced into the terrible sandy tract known as the Ordos Desert. After suffering dreadfully from want of water and fuel they entered Kansu having recrossed the flooded Hwang-ho but it was not till January 1845 that they reached Tang-Kiul on the boundary. Rather than encounter alone the horrors of a four months' journey to Lhasa they resolved to wait for eight months till the arrival of a Tibetan embassy on its return from Peking. Under an intelligent teacher they meanwhile studied the Tibetan language and Buddhist literature and during three months of their stay they resided in the famous Kunbum Lamasery which was reported to accommodate 4000 persons. Towards the end of September they joined the returning embassy which comprised 2000 men and 3700 animals. Crossing the deserts of Koko Nor they passed the great lake of that name with its island of contemplative lamas and following a difficult and tortuous track across snow-covered mountains they at last entered Lhasa on the 29th of January 1846. Favourably received by the regent they opened a little chapel and were in a fair way to establish an important mission when the Chinese ambassador interfered and had the two missionaries conveyed back to Canton where they arrived in October of the same year. For nearly three years Huc remained at Canton but Gabet returning to Europe proceeded thence to Rio de Janeiro and died there shortly afterwards. Huc returned to Europe in shattered health in 1852 visiting India Egypt and Palestine on his way and after a prolonged residence in Paris died on the 31st of March 1860." / "His writings comprise besides numerous letters and memoirs in the Annales de la propagation de la foi the famous Souvenirs d'un voyage dans la Tartarie le Thibet et la Chine pendant les annees 1844-1846 2 vols. Paris 1850; Eng. trans. by W. Hazlitt 1851 abbreviated by M. Jones London 1867; its supplement crowned by the Academy entitled L'Empire chinois 2 vols. Paris 1854; Eng. trans. London 1859; and an elaborate historical work Le Christianisme en Chine &c. 4 vols. Paris 1857-1858; Eng. trans. London 1857-1858. These works are written written in a lucid racy picturesque style which secured for them an unusual degree of popularity. The Souvenirs is a narrative of a remarkable feat of travel and contains passages of so singular a character as in the absence of corroborative testimony to stir up a feeling of incredulity. That Huc was suspected unjustly was amply proved by later research. But he was by no means a practical geographer and the record of his travels loses greatly in value from the want of precise scientific data." Britannica. Gaume freres, 1857. hardcover

A VERY EARLY ACCOUNT OF THE DALAI LAMA AND TIBET. This account was written at a time when only a handful of Westerners had been given permission to visit "the forbidden land". In fact the author and his father Thomas Lowell were only the seventh and eighth American citizens granted that rare privilege. Thomas Jr.'s narrative is an invitation to high adventure as he describes their dangerous journey from India over the towering Himalayas and into a real-world Shangri-La. The journey ends with a marvelous sojourn into the Holy City of Lhasa to visit the "Boy-King" the Dalai Lama to receive his blessing. The Greystone Press hardcover

DJ has some wear tears and soiling. Signed by Galen Rowell on first page. One of the world's spiritual leaders and a renowned wilderness photographer combine their vision of Tibet in this stunningly beautiful book. Essays by the Fourteenth Dalai Lama appear with Galen Rowell's dramatic images in a moving presentation of the splendors of Tibet. Galen Avery Rowell August 23 1940 - August 11 2002 was a wilderness photographer adventure photojournalist and climber. He became a full-time photographer in 1972. He pioneered a new kind of photography in which he was not merely an observer but considered himself a participant in the scenes that he photographed - he considered the landscape part of the adventure and the adventure part of the landscape. Rowell conceived a technical approach of extending the dynamic range to be captured on film. He developed a set of graduated neutral density filters and had them produced by Singh-Ray a filter manufacturer. They were sold under his name and became a standard for dealing with high contrast scenes. Galen Rowell also mastered the technique of using balanced fill flash which allowed him to lighten the deepest shadows in a subtle way to match the relatively narrow dynamic range of color reversal film. He won the Ansel Adams Award for Conservation Photography in 1984. One of the world's spiritual leaders and a renowned wilderness photographer combine their vision of Tibet in this stunningly beautiful book. Essays by the Fourteenth Dalai Lama appear with Galen Rowell's dramatic images in a moving presentation of the splendors of Tibet's revered but threatened heritage. When Chinese communist troops invaded Tibet in 1950 the author was fifteen years old and the spiritual and temporal ruler of a nation the size of western Europe. Tenzin Gyatso the Fourteenth Dalai Lama of Tibet appealed to the United Nations for help and then fled across the Himalaya in winter to a border town where he anxiously awaited political aid that never came. Like the mythical kingdom of Shangri-La Tibet had sought isolation from the rest of the world. Diplomatic relations and foreign visitors had been shunned and few people in the West knew what cultural and natural treasures lay threatened there. In the years that followed the Dalai Lama struggled to maintain peace in Tibet and to protect his people's ways but in 1959 he was forced to flee to India where he remains today. There he has established a government in exile in Dharamsala that has endeavored to preserve Tibetan culture while preparing for a peaceful return to a free Tibet. As the Chinese cautiously opened select Tibetan doors to visitors in the 1980s a sickening realization stole over the rest of the world: Tibet had been ravaged by the Chinese occupation. All but a dozen of Tibet's six thousand monasteries had been destroyed. Much of the once-bountiful wildlife had disappeared. A sixth of the population had perished. The picture seemed so bleak that many wondered whether there was anything worth saving in this wounded land. The Dalai Lama's heartening answer and Galen Rowell's magnificent photographs leave no doubt that the mystery and enchantment of Tibet though seriously endangered are still alive. To Tibetans the Dalai Lama is an incarnation of the Buddha of compassion. He has spent the last thirty years tirelessly advocating nonviolence and compassion to all living things as the answer to Tibet's plight. "My religion is simple" he says "my religion is kindness." My Tibet movingly elaborates this message: here the Dalai Lama offers his views on how world peace happiness and environmental responsibility are inextricably linked. He explains the meaning of pilgrimage for Tibetan Buddhists and gives an engaging account of his early life in Lhasa the capital of Tibet. In addition he reveals many sides to his nature' compassion profound faith common sense generosity a playful sense of humor in personal reflections matched here to 108 photographs of the land he hasn't seen since 1959. Together the breathtaking photographs which express Rowell's own commitment to the natural world and the Dalai Lama's observations help preserve the enduring meaning of Tibet's culture religion and natural heritage.

An excellent copy of this Tibetan classic.The epic of Gesar is the longest single piece of literature in the world canon encompassing some 120 volumes; here the first three volumes are translated telling of Gesar's birth his mischievous childhood and his youth spent in exile and his rivalry for the throne with his treacherous uncle. For hundreds of years versions of the Gesar of Ling epic have been sung by bards in Tibet China Central Asia and across the eastern Silk Route. King Gesar renowned throughout these areas represents the ideal warrior. As a leader with his people's loyalty and trust he conquers all their enemies and protects the peace.
