Seller's Description:
Very good in very good dust jacket. Signed by author. light shelfwear and some small edge chips to the jacket, protected in brodart, Inscribed by Minke to famous photographer Dan Budnik. Sewn binding. Cloth over boards. With dust jacket. 159 p. Contains: Illustrations. Studio Book. Audience: General/trade. Mountains have always meant a great deal to me. I grew up in Austria, and I am grateful for the things that mountains have taught me awareness, endurance, and discipline, all of which are so important in life. My interest in exploring the Himalaya was therefore motivated not only by geography and my profession as a photographer but also by a fact that had long intrigued me: that the highest mountains in the world seemed to have inspired the highest levels of the human spirit. Even during my initial visit to the Himalaya I found myself becoming less and less interested in climbing the highest peaks, and more and more interested in absorbing the wisdom of the people who lived at the top of the world. Symbolic of this dual sensation of height, the external and the internal, is the photograph on the jacket of this book, which shows the Lamas to be even higher than the mountains. Because of Tibet s isolation from the rest of the world, I had expected the Tibetans to be quaint, or at least strange, and because they had fled from their native soil in 1959, I was also prepared to find them bitter, sullen, and withdrawn. They weren t that way at all. Like so many Westerners before me, I was surprised and totally captivated by them. They seemed so unspoiled, so unpolluted by the mechanical world. They radiated such deep faith, dignity, tolerance, and gentleness and displayed such a delicious sense of humor that for me it was love at first sight.

Seller's Description:
Very Good in Very Good jacket. Size: 20x20x20; Book in Near Fine condition; the dustjacket has a 1" tear at rear panel and some light edgewear. Inscribed "Aspen Summer 1979 To Anne For Old and New Times Save With a Big Hug and Thank You From Ernst". Signed copies rarely offered. In this case "Anne" is Anne Farrish, who was a much loved Aspen, Colorado Socialite. For Ernst Haas and his partner G. Minke, the Himalaya of India, and its neighboring countries is home for the Dalai Lama and for thousands of Tibetans who followed their leader into exile after China's invasion of Tibet in the late 1950s. For years the authors longed to visit Tibet, "the forbidden country" and to study the unique culture and Buddhist religion of its people. In 1968 they were issued permission to begin their pilgrimage-to the refugee settlements of Mussoorie, Darjeeling, and Dharamasala, to Bhutan, Sikkim, Nepal and to other centers in the Himalaya. They participated in events that few outsiders ever witness-such as the Kalachakra Initiation, at which the fourteenth Dalai Lama officiated before a hundred thousand Lamaists from everywhere in the Himalaya. Himilayan Pilgrimage is a sensitive exploration of an area of the world that to most seems something of a fantasy. Ernst Haas (1921-1986) was an Austrian-American photojournalist and color photographer. During his 40-year career Haas trod the line between photojournalism and art photography. In addition to his coverage of events around the globe after World War II Haas was an early innovator in color photography. His images were carried by magazines like Life and Vogue and, in 1962, were the subject of the first single-artist exhibition of color photography at New York's Museum of Modern Art. He served as president of the cooperative Magnum Photos. His book of volcano photographs, The Creation, remains one of the most successful photography books ever published.
