Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the journey of Samuel Turner, a British diplomat, to the court of Teshoo Lama in Tibet during 1783. The main focus of the book is on describing the geographic, cultural, and religious landscape encountered by Turner and his companions during their travels and stay in Tibet. This account provides insights into the geopolitical climate between Tibet, Bhutan, and Bengal at the time, and presents details of the religious and cultural practices of both Tibet and Bhutan. The author provides a comprehensive and detailed account of the people he met and the places he visited, including observations on local customs, religious ceremonies, and political structures, which offers a unique glimpse into a region that was relatively unknown to the Western world at the time of writing.
