In this extraordinary memoir, Heinrich Harrer recounts his remarkable escape from a British internment camp in India during World War II. Driven by an unyielding spirit of adventure, he embarked on a perilous journey across the formidable Himalayas, seeking refuge in the legendary Forbidden City of Lhasa.
