Publisher's Synopsis

Across Thibet V2 is a travelogue written by Gabriel Bonvalot, a French explorer who undertook a perilous journey across Tibet in the late 19th century. The book is the second volume of a two-part series and chronicles Bonvalot's experiences and observations during his expedition. In this volume, Bonvalot provides a detailed account of his journey through the high-altitude terrain of Tibet, encountering various challenges such as extreme weather conditions, hostile terrain, and encounters with local tribes. He also describes the culture, customs, and traditions of the Tibetan people. Throughout the book, Bonvalot's writing is vivid and descriptive, painting a picture of the harsh and unforgiving landscape he traversed. He also provides insights into the political and social conditions of Tibet at the time, including the influence of China and the role of the Dalai Lama.
