Siete años en el Tíbet es un relato autobiográfico del explorador austriaco Heinrich Harrer, que narra sus experiencias durante su estancia en el Tíbet entre 1944 y 1951. Tras escapar de un campo de prisioneros de guerra británico en la India, Harrer viajó a Lhasa, la capital del Tíbet, donde se convirtió en amigo y tutor del joven Dalai Lama. El libro describe la cultura tibetana, las costumbres y la vida cotidiana en el Tíbet antes de la invasión china. Harrer ofrece una visión única de un mundo aislado y desconocido, y su encuentro con el Dalai Lama cambió su vida para siempre.
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).
