My Journey to Lhasa
written by Alexandra David-Neel, foreword by Dalai Lama, introduction by Diana N. Rowan

The Classic Story of the Only Western Woman Who Succeeded in Entering the Forbidden City

First published in 1927, My Journey to Lhasa tells of the first Western woman to enter the forbidden Tibetan city of Lhasa and to have been received by the Dalai Lama.

At a young age, Alexandra David-Neel broke with her strict Victorian upbringing and devoted herself to exploring the Asian continent. Fueled by her keen passion for Asian culture, her remarkable command of Tibetan dialects and customs, and accompanied by a young companion (who she later adopted as a son), she was ingeniously able to avert the deadly dangers of disease and terrain while blending seamlessly with the natives to avert the notice of both locals and military border control.
