BOOK | My Journey to Lhasa

An exemplary travelogue of danger and achievement by the Frenchwoman Madame Alexandra David–Neel of her 1923 expedition to Tibet, the fifth in her series of Asian travels, and her personal recounting of her journey to Lhasa, Tibet's forbidden city. David–Neel is famous for being the first Western woman to have been received by any Dalai Lama and as a passionate scholar and explorer of Asia, hers is one of the most remarkable of all travellersߴ tales.

“David-Neel was indisputably a fearless traveler, a rogue’s rogue. Her account has the power to awe even today.” -- Outside magazine.
