Description

Discover a rare window into the past with Tibet as I Knew It: The Memoir of Dr. Tsewang Yishey Pemba. This historical account provides a detailed look at early twentieth-century Tibet through the eyes of a medical professional. Written in the 1990s after his retirement, the manuscript remained hidden in a loft in Darjeeling until its discovery in 2017. Dr. Pemba shares his personal recollections of his youth in his native country, offering a view of the traditional sociology of Tibet and its gradual reforms. The narrative also covers the influence of the British Raj in India, providing a broader perspective on the region during that era. By drawing on personal experiences and prized sources, including his father's diaries, Dr. Pemba brings the Tibetan ethos to life. This memoir is an essential read for those interested in modern Tibetan culture and the historical shifts that shaped the region.
