Tibetan Shadows - Hardcover

Cardelli, Claudio

 
9788896042052: Tibetan Shadows

Synopsis

Tibetan Shadows is an engrossing cultural journey through the Himalayas and Tibet under the crushing Chinese regime. Over thirty years of exploring the entire region led Cardelli to debate over the now critical political and humanitarian issues. The captivating account of two different trips in time prompts a natural comparison between the situation in 1987 and present-day events, in the attempt to follow the tracks of the endless tragedy of the Tibetan people. The refugees living in Northern India stand as the last survivors of a dying breed that had such a compelling influence over our Western fantasy. In this book, Claudio Cardelli walks hand in hand with the reader to share his memories and breathtaking moments around the valleys and ridges crowning the ancient realms of the Tibetan culture and life.
