Etat : Sehr gut. Paperback, viii, 228 pages, frontispiece and 28 illustrations on plates, very good condition. The author was married to Louis King (1886 - 1949), the former British consul at Tatsienlu (1913-1915 and 1919-1922). King wrote the historical introduction and put the book in writing. As explained in the preface, the author did not speak English and King not much Tibetan, they conversed in Chinese. Short chapters on the culture and the life in Kham /Eastern Tibet. 1926 saw another book published based on the oral history as told by a Tibetan, G.A. Combe`s "A Tibetan on Tibet" - quite a coincidence and maybe an explanation for the scarcity of this book. King was forced to retire from consular service because of his marriage. The couple returned to England, where Rinchen Lhamo died in 1929, aged only 28 of tubercolosis (compare Tim Chamberlain, Edge of Empires, British Museum Magazine, Spring/Summer 2010). A lovely, remarkable book, one wonders whether Fritz Mühlenweg has seen it, who might have taken inspriation in some of its sentences. "Why should not I myself write a book ? Almost everybody who came to my country wrote a book or an article about it somewhere. To write a book was not in itself difficult, though it might be another thing to get anybody to read it. [.] And I had got used to your ways. [.] to your evening gowns, which make a human being look like a stork; and, after a toss or two, to your high--heeled shoes. [.]. You are rightly proud of your material culture, but you must not think peoples without it are necessarily uncivilized. Civilization and material culture are not one and the same. [.]. It is a question of spiritual outlook." Even this reprint is hard to find, the 1926 original is rare. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550. N° de réf. du vendeur 32639
