Mr Harrer is an Austrian mountain climber who twice escaped from a prisoner-of-war camp in north India, and in record time, after a most audacious and stern journey with a companion fugitive, reached Lhasa. His book is admirably written and excellently translated. It combines exciting narrative with a great deal of information about Tibet as it was just before communism. The picture of the nomad lands fits very well with that given by the American missionary Dr Ekvall in what is probably the most notable book on Tibet in recent years; and the picture of Lhasa is the most vivid which anybody has yet given. See Michel Foucault’s theories on Power and Knowledge, Power/Knowledge, Colin Gordon, 1980. See also L'ordre du discours, Paris, Gallimard, 1971. Harrer's son, Rolf, bitterly refuses to meet him at first; but Harrer leaves a music box that the Dalai Lama gave him and this piques the boy's interest. Years later, Harrer and Rolf (now a teenager) are seen mountain-climbing together, suggesting that they have mended their relationship.Brad Pitt breaks the ice with China visit after 'Seven Years in Tibet' issue".

Full of enthusiasm at the start, and ready for anything new, their interest flags before long. For this reason I kept losing pupils and replacing them, which was not very satisfactory for me. The children of good families whom I taught were without exception intelligent and wide awake, and were not inferior to our children in comprehension. In the Indian schools the Tibetan pupils are ranked for intelligence with Europeans. One must remember that they have to learn the language of their teachers. In spite of that handicap, they are often at the head of the class. There was a boy from Lhasa at St. Joseph's College, at Darjeeling, who was not only the best scholar in the school, but also champion in all the games and sports.”
