- Summary:
- Born in Paris in 1868, Alexandra David-Neel spent 13 years traveling through China and Tibet, walking unknown routes, discovering and photographing new cultures and people, and exploring their traditions and religious beliefs. Some 70 years later, photographers Tiziana and Gianni Baldizzone traveled the same route to discover for themselves this fascinating land, to visit the same tribes, and to photograph the people and the landscapes -- to "give color" to the impressions of Alexandra David-Neel.
- With more than 145 stunning photographs, this book is a celebration in marvelous detail of the panoramic landscapes, the faces of the people, and their splendid costumes, as mesmerizing today as they were in the 1920s.
