“The country in the Ring of the Snow Mountains” – the Tibetans themselves call their land. Located at an altitude of 4 to 7 thousand meters above sea level, Tibet put an imprint not only on the way of life of the people inhabiting it, but also on their beliefs, mythology and even the features of their body – here, in a sky -high -high -end height, a person more often beats in his blood, he has more hemoglobin in blood. In the time of the empire, almost 400 thousand Buddhist monks and nuns lived there, that is, almost twice as many as there were soldiers in the Tibetan army. But this land isolated from the outside world, where, it would seem, time itself stopped, the stormy and dramatic events did not pass by. This book enables the reader to get acquainted with the history of Tibet, his unique geography, the original life of nomads and monks, to imagine the ancient and modern Lhasu-capital of Tibet. And photographs will help him in this, as colorful and wonderful as this amazing, mythical world.
