About This Item
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Henry Holt & Co, 1997. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall. Hardcover, with dust jacket. Very good condition. An expert on Tibetan history explores the source of the powerful Mekong River, sharing his memories of a rare expedition into forbidden areas of Tibet that charted the origins of this majestic waterway. Explorer, anthropologist, and writer, Michel Peissel is a Frenchman who writes in English, speaks Tibetan, and has dedicated his life to investigating the remotest regions of Greater Tibet, with many of his discoveries making news headlines. He has led 26 expeditions of Tibet and made 20 documentary films over the last 40 years. In 1964, he "discovered" the minute kingdom of Mustang, and more recently, in 1994 he led an expedition to find the source of the Mekong River. His previous books include "Mustang: A Lost Tibetan Kingdom," "Lords and Lamas," "Zonskar," "The Voyage of the Itza," "The Amber Trail," and "The Last Barbarians" (Holt).
