Magic and Mystery in Tibet by Alexandra David-Neél Book Hardcover

Explore the wonders of Tibet with this captivating book by Alexandra David-Néel. Features a scenic cover with a mountain view. Excellent condition except tiny discoloration on edge of spine, see photos. Madame David-Neel understands, writes and speaks fluently all the dialects of Tibet. She has spent fourteen consecutive years in the country and the neighbouring regions. She is a professed Buddhist, and so has been able to gain the confidence of the most important Lamas. Her adopted son is an ordained lama; and she herself has undergone the psychic exercises of which she speaks. Madame David-Neel has in fact become, as she herself says, a complete Asiatic, and, what is still more important for an explorer of a country hitherto inaccessible to foreign travelers, she is recognized as such by those among whom she has lived.
