Tibet After the Chinese Occupation
'Seven Years in Tibet' told of an idyllic life on the "rooftop of the world", before Harrer was forced to flee from the invading Chinese armies. Thirty years later, he returns to describe how the Chinese have attempted to destroy this ancient civilisation. Meeting old Tibetan acquaintances, including the Dalai Lama now living in exile in northern India, Harrer examines the current thaw in Peking's relations with this isolated mysterious country. In its vivid evocation of Tibet, past and present, 'Return to Tibet' provides a fascinating insight into the durability of this profoundly spiritual culture.
