Description:
Introduction by Bernard Berenson. Translated from Italian by Eric Mosbacher. A historically significant account of pre-communist Tibet, Secret Tibet draws from Fosco Maraini’s (1912-2004) experiences during two expeditions to the region, in 1937 and 1948. Serving as photographer alongside the distinguished Italian orientalist Professor Giuseppe Tucci, Maraini captured both the everyday life and spiritual essence of a culture on the brink of transformation.
