PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
First published in 1953, this is the riveting account of a young Austrian adventurer and mountaineer who became tutor to the Dalai Lama. Imprisoned by the British in India as WWII erupted, he escaped across the Himalayas to the holy city of Lhasa, remaining with the Tibetans until he fled with the Dalai Lama in the Chinese invasion of 1950. A classic.
