Tibet

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'The most thumbed of all my books on Tibet. I might have had some trouble with the yak butter tea, but Buckley made everything else about Tibet wonderfully palatable. A must-read.' Michael Palin (who used this book on the road in Tibet when making the tv series 'Himalaya') 'This book will constitute an important reading material for our officials here but also for the those who consult our office on practical informations for the travels in Tibet.' Bureau du Tibet, Paris 'Michael Buckley has a most attractive, easy style, speaking (he seems to be speaking), as one traveller to another. He is never patronising or pompous, he does not pretend to know what he doesn't know, and he does not flaunt his knowledge; among writers of guidebooks, those are rare achievements... This book is undoubtedly the one I would recommend first for reading before a visit to Tibet. For a visit to central or western Tibet it may also be the best single book to take.' Tony Williams, travel co-ordinator, Australia Tibet Council 'The author has written an authoritative guidebook which gives one a genuine feel for the Tibet of today. It is rare to find a guidebook that addresses the situation with so much honesty, and yet this is exactly the sort of explanation a traveller to Tibet needs. I strongly recommend this guide.'
