The High Road to China

Viac o knihe

In 1774, British traders longed to open relations with China so they sent a young Scotsman, George Bogle, as an envoy to Tibet. Bogle became smitten by what he saw there, and struck up a remarkable friendship with the Panchen Lama. This book tells the story of their two extraordinary journeys across some of the harshest terrain in the world.
