 | | In a time when all other foreigners were banned from Tibet, Alexandra David-Neel lived among hermits and shamans while studying first hand the secret mystical practices of Tibetan Buddhism, including out-of-body travel, telepathy, vampiric shamanism, and tantric sex. |
 | | Alexandra David-Neel, prolific author, inveterate explorer and traveler, pioneer feminist, and authority on Tibetan Buddhism, was called by Lawrence Durrell, "the most astonishing woman of our time." She was the first European to penetrate Tibet on the level of its learned hermits, nomads, and brigands, and the first foreign woman to enter its forbidden capital. |
 | | The result is a vividly detailed chronicle of a heroic womans quest to conquer her personal demons and of the journey that made her a celebrated figure. |
