description: In SEVEN YEARS IN TIBET, Heinrich Harrer related his escape from British internment in India, his epic hike to Tibet, and his seven idyllic years there. Thirty years later, in 1982, he went back. Three decades are small in the flow of time, but the changes were profound. In RETURN TO TIBET, Harrer shows us the present-day regime under Chinese rule and compares it with the freedom of the past, when religion and faith were central to life. He proposes solutions to the country's problems and with the Dalai Lama discusses ways of preserving the Tibetans national character and homeland.
