«The Open Road» is Pico Iyer's biography of the Fourteenth Dalai Lama, published by Bloomsbury Paperbacks in paperback (288 pages, in English).
Pico Iyer paints a portrait of the Fourteenth Dalai Lama from three decades of conversations. He explores his paradoxes: he promotes the cause of Tibet while it becomes a Chinese province, and he champions globalization and technology despite being born in a remote region. The journey goes from Dharamsala, seat of the exile government, to Lhasa and the West.
The work was published in 2009. The subtitle of the edition is The Global Journey of the Fourteenth Dalai Lama.
For readers interested in Buddhism, spirituality and biographies of figures with global reach.
