Neel spent 13 years travelling through Tibet and China, walking unknown routes, discovering, recording and photographing new cultures and people, and exploring their traditions and religious beliefs. The land of the gentleman brigands was the name she gave to an area in the far west of China populated by fierce tribes, through which she journeyed several times in her attempts to reach Lhasa in Tibet. Today, Alexandra Neel's photographs and the written accounts of her expeditions remain, but she regretted at the time the fact that her pictures could not capture the colours she had seen. This book contains the photographs taken by Tiziana and Gianni Baldizzone 70 years later, to give colour to Neel's impressions. The photographs include the panoramic landscapes, the faces and expressions of individual people, and above all the colours and decoration of the costumes.  Divided into six sections to cover the routes that Neel actually travelled, the book explores both the history of a unique people and the life of a remarkable woman.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49578233823505,"sku":"GOR001253273","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51459818094865,"sku":"GOR012448986","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51563278762257,"sku":"GOR005076235","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0500016895.jpg?v=1751135163"},{"product_id":"timeless-india-book-tiziana-baldizzone-9780944142721","title":"Timeless India","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49635621634321,"sku":"GOR001000493","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0944142729.jpg?v=1751171503"},{"product_id":"tibet-book-tiziana-baldizzone-9781556705113","title":"Tibet","description":"Following the same trail that Alexandra David-Ne+a7el did seventy years ago, the authors embark on an odyssey through China and Tibet, capturing the many cultures, people, and landscapes in vivid and stunning photographs.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49777008345361,"sku":"CIN1556705115G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50571567071505,"sku":"CIN1556705115VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1556705115.jpg?v=1751055429"},{"product_id":"tibet-land-of-gentleman-brigands-book-tiziana-baldizzone-9788854400597","title":"Tibet, Land of Gentleman Brigands","description":"The west of China, crossed in 1920-21 in her first attempt to reach Lhasa. The region was notorious as the home of tribes reputed to be fierce brigands who plundered the caravans which travelled from China to Lhasa. It was Alexandra David-Neel's determination to get to Lhasa, the forbidden city, escaping the controls of government officials, that made her decide to venture into this supposedly very dangerous part of the world. But her journey was also inspired by her craving to encounter different cultures, to travel unknown paths, to get to know the peoples who inhabited the vast solitudes of the plateaus and to become familiar with their traditions and beliefs, rooted in mysticism and magic. Her greatest regret was that her photographs could not render the splendid colours of their costumes. his book therefore sets out to \"add colour\" to the impressions of Alexandra David-Neel: it returns to the same places, the same tribes, and does so with the same animating spirit - the desire to encounter and explore different cultures. In its six chapters it retraces the steps of Alexandra David-Neel along an ideal itinerary which - as it switches repeatedly back and forth, from past to present - enables the reader to accompany her on the adventurous journey across the land of gentlemen brigands.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50653397713169,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50653397844241,"sku":"GOR008504771","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/8854400599.jpg?v=1750774735"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-tiziana-baldizzone.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
