Beschreibungen
<p><span>Written in the 1990s after retirement from his services as a doctor and discovered by his daughter in the loft of their house in Darjeeling in India in 2017, this memoir of Dr. Tsewang Yishey Pemba provides an intricate portrayal of early twentieth-century Tibet. With his finger on the pulse of the Tibetan ethos, Pemba offers glimpses into the traditional sociology of Tibet and occasionally its snail-paced reforms, as well as the British Raj in India, while recollecting his young days in his native country. Pemba also draws information from prized sources like his father´s diaries and his conversations with Tibetan and British officials as well as people at the grassroots. His own metamorphosis, as he leaves Tibet in 1949 for higher education abroad, foreshadows the metamorphosis of Tibet and its inescapable fate in the decade that followed. </span></p>
<p><span>This book is the memoir of Tsewang Yishey Pemba, as novelist and the first Western-trained medical doctor in Tibet, and whose memories of the Tibet of the 1930s and 1940s include festivals, travel, the author's formative years in Tibet and India, and the daily lives of Tibetans.</span></p>
