Seller's Description:
Very Good. Hardcover. 8vo. Published by Harper & Brothers, New York & London. 1899. 2 Volumes. Xvi, 307 and xii, 250 pgs. Illustrated with Color / Black and White Plates. First Edition/First Printing. Bound in illustrated green cloth boards with gilt titles present. Boards have shelf-wear present to the extremities (light soil present to the edges of the boards, wear present to the extremities). Previous owner's name present to the FFEP with a large piece missing from the FFEP. Text is clean and free of marks. This is a late nineteenth century tale of a British Raj `action man' who was determined to take on Tibet, welcome or not. And as it eventuated, definitely `not'-but he didn't know how to take the hint. Pushing on regardless, through horrific trials and torture (with some nasty sadomasochistic overtones)-it was a terrible shame he saw fit to have the pain and suffering inflicted on his hapless local followers as well. The author's brutal reflections on the supposedly cowardly, corrupt, inhospitable, elitist exploiters-the lamas-are confronting and bear little semblance to our current understanding of these spiritual leaders. Has the world really changed that much-perhaps the author was living the Walter Mitty life or experiencing a hyper-clash of cultures? At a more Machiavellian level, perhaps a set up for the British invasion of Tibet just a few years later? EB; 8vo 8"-9" tall; 563 pages.
