Reisgids Tibet Interpreting Tibet A Political Guide To Traveling In Tibet |
Paradox Lost is een alternatieve gids voor de Tibet-reiziger met advies en praktische tips om ethisch verantwoord te reizen in Tibet. Het rapport ontmaskert de Chinese propaganda en adviseert hoe de reiziger kan voorkomen dat Tibetanen of zijzelf in de problemen komen door contact met reizigers. Daarnaast bevat het rapport tips om uitingen van religieuze onderdrukking en subtiele vormen van verzet door Tibetanen te herkennen.
Kortom: een must voor iedereen die naar Tibet gaat!
Interpreting Tibet gives a reality check on the sights of Lhasa, exploring how both China?s assertions of power and Tibetan expressions of identity are revealed in the architecture of the city, as well as the reality behind Tibet?s apparent economic progress. The report advises tourists how to avoid putting Tibetans, and themselves, at risk, and offers tips on how to understand the signs of religious repression, and subtle acts of dissent by Tibetans.
ICT recommends that tourists read it before they leave for Tibet. Carrying a copy in a backpack or suitcase into Tibet could be regarded as a political or 'splittist' act (in other words, as an attempt to split the motherland), and could therefore put local contacts at risk.

Zeer diepgaande reisgids op het gebied van kunst, cultuur en geschiedenis. Veel plattegronden van interessante bezienswaardigheden, beschrijvingen van achtergronden. Absoluut een aanrader voor de geinteresseerde reiziger!
Grandiose Gebirgslandschaften, Nomaden, Yaks und nicht zuletzt eine der faszinierendsten Klosterkulturen Asiens - Tibet zählt zu den mythischen Reiseregionen der Welt. Mit tantrischem Buddhismus oder dem Lamaismus entstand hier eine Kultur von außergewöhnlicher Spiritualität. Dieser Kunst-Reiseführer lässt Geschichte und Kultur des "Schneelands" lebendig werden. Erleben Sie Lhasa, die "Stadt der Götter" und das Yarlung-Tal, die "Wiege der tibetischen Kultur". Das westliche Tibet mit dem heiligen Berg Kailash wird ebenso ausführlich beschrieben wie die fast noch unentdeckte Region Amdo im Nordosten des Tibet. Der Tibetologe Karl-Heinz Everding führt die Leser und Reisenden in fast unberührte Lebensräume und zu den alten Kulturzentren Tibets. Er macht die Geschichte und die hochstehende Kultur des "Schneelandes" in ihrer ganzen Vielfalt verständlich und vermittelt einen Zugang zu den Menschen und ihrer von tiefer Religiosität geprägten Lebenseinstellung.

Exploring ethnic Tibet independently is a challenge. The proverbial ?land of snows?, it possesses some of the wildest and roughest road routes in high Asia, and so trekking, motoring and mountain-biking are all covered in this new edition. Political and cultural issues make Tibet a sensitive destination for Westerners to visit, so Michael Buckley?s advice includes guidelines on cultural etiquette, local customs and travelling with minimum impact on Tibet?s culture and environment.
"The most thumbed of all my books on Tibet. I might have had some trouble with the yak butter tea, but Buckley made everything else about Tibet wonderfully palatable. A must-read."
Michael Palin (who used this book on the road in Tibet when making the tv series 'Himalaya')
"This book will constitute an important reading material for our officials here but also for the those who consult our office on practical informations for the travels in Tibet."
Bureau du Tibet, Paris
"Michael Buckley has a most attractive, easy style, speaking (he seems to be speaking), as one traveller to another. He is never patronising or pompous, he does not pretend to know what he doesn't know, and he does not flaunt his knowledge; among writers of guidebooks, those are rare achievements... This book is undoubtedly the one I would recommend first for reading before a visit to Tibet. For a visit to central or western Tibet it may also be the best single book to take."
Tony Williams, travel co-ordinator, Australia Tibet Council
"The author has written an authoritative guidebook which gives one a genuine feel for the Tibet of today. It is rare to find a guidebook that addresses the situation with so much honesty, and yet this is exactly the sort of explanation a traveller to Tibet needs. I strongly recommend this guide."
