Tibet The Secret Continent H.b

Tibet: the Secret Continent. Forty years ago, Tibet was a closed, forbidden and secretive land, one that only a handful of foreigners had been able to visit. Michel Peissel is one of the last great explorers in the classical tradition and has made the study of Tibet his lifelong passion. He has led twenty-six expeditions to survey the far-flung and often forbidden reaches of this secret realm, covering the length and breadth of what he calls Greater Tibet.
