Description
"Heinrich Harrer, already a famous mountaineer and olympic ski champion, was climbing in the Himalayas when the second world war erupted in europe. An Austrian national, he was imprisoned by the British in India. With an almost super-human effort, he succeeded in escaping from the internment camp and fled into Tibet and the Forbidden City of lhasa, the first Westerner to lay eyes on this holiest of places."--Publisher description.
