After escaping a British internment camp in India during World War II, Harrer and a companion undertook a grueling, years-long trek across the Himalayas into the forbidden city of Lhasa, a feat that had defeated countless Western explorers before him. Written with vivid immediacy and quiet wonder, the narrative details the rich tapestry of Tibetan culture, religion, and daily life at a pivotal moment in history, just before the Chinese invasion would shatter this ancient civilization's isolation forever. Harrer's account is both a gripping tale of human endurance and a rare, intimate portrait of a society on the brink of irreversible change, offering readers an unparalleled window into a world that no longer exists.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48810595352795,"sku":"2026200006708-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/5cd2a01e-1e00-48e1-921e-6b7353094ba3.png?v=1779805741","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200006708-secondhand-seven-years-in-tibet","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
