Siete años en el Tíbet es un fascinante relato de las peripecias de Heinrich Harrer, un montañero y campeón olímpico de esquí austriaco, que tras ser detenido en la India durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, consigue huir al Tíbet y llegar a la ciudad prohibida de Lhasa. Allí, Harrer convivió durante siete años con un pueblo prácticamente desconocido, llegando a convertirse en tutor del joven Dalai Lama. Esta obra narra la lucha de un pueblo cuyo único anhelo era vivir libre e independiente. Además, fue adaptada al cine en 1997 en una superproducción dirigida por Jean-Jacques Annaud y protagonizada por Brad Pitt.
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).
