Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English. About The Book : This book contains a copious account of Tibet presenting a glimpse of its people, their religion, manner and customs traditions and beliefs. It is one of the very few books reflecting the viewpoint of a Tibetan on his motherland. Described in a way that makes the best possible substitute for actual travel, the study abounds in cultural, archaeological, social and anthropological data of this mystic land. A Tibetan on Tibet should appeal not only to the theologian and the sociologist, but to the man in the street, who will find a remarkable human document in the book. For the first time, one gets an inside account of the manner and customs of the Tibetans and the nomad tribes, and in the concluding chapter one is initiated into the meaning and significance of the famous Devil Dance.
