Tibet, Tibet: A Personal History of a Lost Land | Patrick French

2 posts | 1 read | 3 to read

Tibet has long fascinated the West, but what really lies beyond our romantic image of a mystical mountain kingdom of peace and spirituality? Patrick French set out to discover the truth, and his extraordinary account has been widely acclaimed. Travelling through the country, French meets exiled monks, nomads and a nun secretly fighting Chinese rule, but also young Tibetans with a more pragmatic attitude to their situation. Interweaving these encounters with little-known stories of war and turmoil from Tibet's past, he reveals a more nuanced, fascinating and surprising picture of this complex place than any other book has done.

is a compelling and thought-provoking exploration of Tibet‘s history, politics, and culture. Unlike romanticized Western portrayals, French presents a nuanced perspective, blending personal travel experiences with historical analysis. He delves into Tibet‘s past, including its Buddhist traditions, and the impact of Chinese rule, offering a balanced yet deeply human account.
