SINOPSE
Over the course of several months during 1931 and 1932, Robert Byron journeyed to three countries teetering on the brink of change.
In Russia, which was stricken by famine, Lenin had just died, Stalin’s dictatorship was in its infancy and the Great Terror had yet to begin. Having taken the first commercial flight to India, which took an astounding seven days, Byron was thrown into the tumultuous last years of the British Raj. Gandhi was imprisoned, while rioting and clashes between Hindus and Muslims had become commonplace. Finally Byron entered Tibet, the forbidden country. Exploring "The Land of Snows", he saw Tibet as it was when the then Dalai Lama was still ensconced in the Potala Palace, twenty years before China’s invasion.
First Russia, Then Tibet is an invaluable first-hand account of transformative moments in periods of change and upheaval.-Print ed.
Richly illustrated throughout.

SOBRE O AUTOR
Robert Byron
Robert Byron nasceu em 1905 no Reino Unido, foi aluno de Eton e é considerado um dos maiores autores de literatura de viagens do século XX, além de ter ficado conhecido como crítico de arte e historiador. Viajou pelos lugares mais díspares: o Monte Athos, a Índia, a União Soviética e o Tibete. Começou a publicar os seus relatos de viagem em 1926. Em 1933 visitou a Pérsia e o Afeganistão, viagem que relatou em A Estrada para Oxiana (Tinta-da-china, 2014), obra de referência que Bruce Chatwin descreveu como «um texto sagrado, acima de qualquer crítica». Morreu em 1941, com apenas 35 anos, quando o navio em que viajava enquanto correspondente de guerra foi torpedeado pelos alemães ao largo da Escócia.
