Sobre IBD

Across Tibet is a translated account of Gabriel Bonvalot’s journey through the unknown regions of Tibet in 1892. The book recounts Bonvalot’s travels from Paris to Tonking, which took him across the vast and mysterious landscape of Tibet. The author describes in detail the various challenges he encountered on his journey, including harsh weather conditions, treacherous terrain, and encounters with hostile tribes. Along the way, he also provides insights into the culture and customs of the people he meets, as well as his own personal reflections on the journey. The book offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of Tibet at a time when it was largely unexplored by Westerners, and is a must-read for anyone interested in adventure, travel, and exploration.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
