This book answers many, if not all, of the questions that non-specialists typically have about Tibet. Even those who study Eastern cultures professionally can find much to learn from it. Anna Tsendina, a profound expert on Tibet, writes about it with engaging and expert knowledge. She provides a coherent account of Tibet's history, recounting the development of Tibetan Buddhism and the origins of the tradition of searching for the next incarnation of the Dalai Lama after his death. Much attention is paid to the everyday life, customs, and peculiarities of the Tibetan way of life, which has always absorbed foreign influences in such proportions that, blending with local culture, they invariably transformed and acquired Tibetan characteristics. Therefore, everything in Tibet has remained unique throughout the centuries—from the organization of government to writing, medicine, and butter sculptures.

Anna Tsendina is a professor at the Institute of Oriental Cultures and Antiquity, a Doctor of Philological Sciences, and speaks Tibetan and Mongolian.
