Title
Manchurian adventure: The story of Lobsang Thondup,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Lobsang Thondup is not his real name. Son of a Chinese father and a Manchu mother, he graduated from the University of Tokyo and was a pilot in the Japanese Air Force. His incredible competence with machines, people, and languages helped him find a way out of seemingly impossible situations in Siberia, Manchuria, Communist China, Sinkiang, and Tibet.In Lhasa he opened the first mechanical workshop ever seen there. It brought him quick riches and friendship with Tibetans of all classes, including the Dhorji Paghmo, Tibet's only woman 'Living Buddha.' Lobsang's love affair with this 22yearold girl, who ranked third in the Tibetan hierarchy, was the most unexpected and fateful of his many amorous encounters.In 1959, after the Dalai Lama's flight into India, Lobsang crossed the Great Himalaya into the little kingdom of Bhutan, where his engineering skills made him friends in high places. After working both for the Prime Minister, who had befriended him, and for the King, Lobsang found himself drawn into dynastic quarrels which divided Bhutan after the Prime Minister's assassination in 1964. Despite the fact he had led a successful hunt for the murderer, Lobsang landed in jail again, occupying a dungeon which he had helped the King to rebuild.Sylvain Mangeot, who first met Lobsang in 1966 after he had escaped to Nepal, tells his story with pace, humor, and humanity, but maintains a degree of objectivity without which some of the events he describes would hardly be credible. And it is important that they should be believed, for they enable a Western reader to understand what has happened on the frontiers of Communist China, what Tibet was really like in the twilight of its independence, and why India guards her Himalayan borders so jealously.
