Sinopse

The remarkable true story of the miraculous journey that made the Dalai Lama into the man he is today and sparked the fight for Tibetan freedom.

In the early weeks of 1959, a bloody uprising gripped the streets of the Tibetan capital of Lhasa as ragtag Tibetan rebels faced off against their Communist Chinese occupiers. Realizing that the impending battle would result in a bloodbath and his own capture, the young Dalai Lama began planning an audacious escape to India, a two-week journey that would involve numerous near-death encounters, a dangerous mountain crossing, and evading thousands of Chinese soldiers who were intent on hunting him down. The journey would transform this naïve young man into one of the world’s greatest statesmen...and create an enduring beacon of hope for a nation.

Emotionally powerful and irresistibly pause-resisting, Escape from the Land of Snows is simultaneously a portrait of the inhabitants of a spiritual nation forced to take up arms in defense of their ideals, and the saga of a burgeoning leader who was ultimately transformed into the towering figure the world knows today - a charismatic champion of free thinking and universal compassion.

Resumo da Crítica

“A hair-raising tale of daring and escape.” (The Washington Post)

"Riveting, informed...A great read for Tibetophiles old and new." ( Kirkus Reviews)
“It was perhaps history's most momentous escape: the Dalai Lama fleeing over the roof of the world from Mao's advancing troops. I loved losing myself in Escape from the Land of Snows and you will too.” (James Bradley, New York Times best seller author of Flags of Our Fathers, Flyboys, and The Imperial Cruise)
