Non-fiction. Italian anthropologist Maraini travels to Tibet in 1937 and 1948 prior to Chinese absorption and in 199. He is fluent in Tibetan which allows him to access and have in-depth conversations with a range of people. Detail, in-depth, its much more than a travel tale, while being much more readable than semi-academic writing.
