La città illeggibile. Storie narrate dalle strade di Lhasa

Year: 1999 Pages: 158 A young Englishman visiting Lhasa ends up in the middle of a popular uprising and what he sees transforms him from a simple tourist to an active supporter of the resistance movement in Tibet. The illegible city is a literary journey through today's Lhasa, with the Stalinist dormitories and postmodern buildings superimposed on the architecture of the ancient city, which tell better than any treatment the various phases of the political and social transformation carried out in the country. A journey that unfolds along two intertwined stories that reveal a reality very far from the stereotype of mystical and fabulous Tibet in tourist brochures.
