In Tibet the past and present exist side by side, and the conflicts and contacts between an ancient culture and the impact of modern life are overwhelming. A plane trip of a few hours from China to Lhasa, "Abode of the Gods," brought the Toppings across the incredible Himalayan terrain over which pilgrims in the past journeyed for years with religious fervor on their passage to the center of their spiritual world. Audrey Topping has photographed for the first time much of the magnificent sacred art treasures that are hidden from public view in Tibet's three greatest structures: The Potala, Palace of the Dalai Lamas; the Jokhang, Temple of the Precious One; and the Drepung Monastery, known as the Rice Heap. Other superb photos present the vivid geography and environment of Tibet, both the old and new city of Lhasa and an intriguing collection of portraits of the people. Mrs. Topping has written a graceful and insightful text which discusses Tibetan history, culture and religion including the importance of the belief in reincarnation, the unique role of the Dalai Lama and the impact of the traditional theocracy on an entire people. Life in Tibet today is also described, emphasizing how the daily life of Tibetans is influenced by modernizing forces now at work. Seymour Topping, the Managing Editor of The New York Times, has written a foreword that documents the political and economic transition of Tibet into the modern world. The Toppings, drawing on their years of experience as journalists in Asia, have penetrated the mysticism, myths and propaganda, which has shrouded the "Land of the Snows," to give us a vivid, objective portrait of Tibet.
