Klappentext zu „Theos Bernard, the White Lama “
In 1937, Theos Casimir Bernard (1908-1947), the self-proclaimed White Lama, became the third American in history to reach Lhasa, the capital city of Tibet. During his stay, he amassed the largest collection of Tibetan texts, art, and artifacts in the Western hemisphere at that time. He also documented, in both still photography and 16mm film, the age-old civilization of Tibet on the eve of its destruction by Chinese Communists. Based on thousands of primary sources and rare archival materials, White Lama recounts the real story behind the purported adventures of this iconic figure and his role in Americas religious counterculture.
