En 'Regreso al Tíbet', Heinrich Harrer nos ofrece un relato comparativo del Tíbet de antaño y cómo lo encontró transformado en 1984. El autor describe cómo la vida idílica en el 'techo del mundo' se vio amenazada por los intentos chinos de destruir esta antigua civilización. A través de sus encuentros con viejos conocidos tibetanos y fotografías del Tíbet antes y después de la ocupación, Harrer nos brinda un testimonio conmovedor. El libro también dedica varios capítulos al Dalai Lama, explorando su papel y significado en la cultura tibetana.
Heinrich Harrer was an Austrian mountaineer, explorer, writer, sportsman, geographer, and an SS sergeant. He was a member of the four-man climbing team that made the first ascent of the North Face of the Eiger, the "last problem" of the Alps, in July 1938. Harrer and the team flew the Nazi flag atop the mountain. Harrer had joined the Nazi Party shortly after the annexation of Austria in March 1938, and was personally received by Hitler after the climb. A year later in 1939, he and the climbing team went on an expedition to the Indian Himalayas, where they were arrested by British colonial authorities due to the outbreak of World War II. He eventually escaped to Tibet, staying there until 1951. He is the author of two autobiographical books, Seven Years in Tibet (1952) and The White Spider (1959).
