The author of the book-the famous French traveler, recognized by the deepest expert of Tibet and Eastern mysticism, writer Alexander David-Neel (1868–1969)-talks about her many months of journey in attempts to abuse Lhasa from the east. However, the Chinese authorities prevented foreigners to penetrate Tibet, and she was forced to leave the country of snow.
During this journey under the guise of a pilgrim and the scientist, she survived a lot of trials and adventures, met with high-ranking monks and with ordinary bunch, with rich merchants and mystics thinkers, with ordinary peasants and half-starving cattleers, Some of which the need pushed for robbery.
