Fire Ox And Other Years Taken from the book jacket: This is a book about the less accessible places of the earth. Two of them - Tibet and Nepal - resolutely decline the pleasure of receiving white men. Getting into Lhasa, capital of Tibet, requires a bit of persistence and diplomacy. In such places as Chinese Turkestan and Chinese Tibet, nature conspires against the traveler. In Assam the obstacle is hostile natives. |
