Situated north of the Himalayas, Tibet is famous for its unique culture & its controversial assimilation into modern China. Yet Tibet in the twenty-first century can only be properly understood in the context of its extraordinary history. Sam van Schaik brings the history of Tibet to life by telling the stories of the people involved, from the glory days of the Tibetan empire in the seventh century through to the present day. He explores the emergence of Tibetan Buddhism & the rise of the Dalai Lamas, Tibet`s entanglement in the ` Great Game` in the early twentieth century, its submission to Chinese Communist rule in the 1950s, & the troubled times of recent decades. Tibet sheds light on the country`s complex relationship with China & explains often-misunderstood aspects of its culture, such as reborn lamas, monasteries & hermits, ” The Tibetan Book of the Dead”, & the role of the Dalai Lama. Van Schaik works through the layers of history & myth to create a compelling narrative, one that offers readers a greater understanding of this important & controversial corner of the world. ...
