The civilization of the Tibetan people is disappearing, and while some gentle protests arise, the world largely observes in silence. This revised edition of a classic work explores the evolution of Tibetan culture from its origins to the 1959 fall to Chinese Communists and the subsequent relocation of Tibetan culture and people. The authors highlight various aspects of Tibetan life, including geography, religion, artistic and literary development, and contemporary politics. They draw parallels with historical developments in Western Europe and detail the cultural influences from India and China. The text is enriched with rare photographs showcasing Tibet's art, architecture, and both secular and sacred objects. David Snellgrove, a prominent scholar in Tibetan Studies, has contributed significantly to the field and has spent time in Italy and Cambodia since 1995. Hugh Richardson, the last British/Indian Representative in Tibet until 1950, taught Tibetan history and language in the US and Europe, and his legacy is honored in the preface of this edition. This work serves as a crucial record of a rich civilization facing profound change.
