The High Road to China: George Bogle, the Panchen Lama and the First British Expedition to Tibet

Kate Teltscher, "The High Road to China: George Bogle, the Panchen Lama and the First British Expedition to Tibet"
ISBN: 0747584842, 0747585474 | 2006 | EPUB/MOBI | 336 pages | 5 MB/4 MB

In 1774, British traders longed to open relations with China so they sent a young Scotsman, George Bogle, as an envoy to Tibet. Bogle became smitten by what he saw there, and struck up a remarkable friendship with the Panchen Lama. This gripping book tells the story of their two extraordinary journeys across some of the harshest and highest terrain in the world: Bogle's mission, and the Panchen Lama's state visit to China, on which British hopes were hung. Piecing together extracts from Bogle's private papers, Tibetan biographies of the Panchen Lama, the account of a wandering Hindu monk and the writings of the Emperor himself, Kate Teltsher deftly reconstructs the momentous meeting of these very different worlds.
