Description
About the author
Contents
Each year, more than 3,000 Tibetans secretly flee their homeland over the Himalayas. The photography of Dieter Glogowski and insightful texts by Franz Binder paint a comprehensive picture of the history and the current situation in Tibet. To show readers the treacherous landscapes that many Tibetan children cross when they flee the country, Glogowski accompanied two local children over the 19,000-foot high Nangpala Pass en route to Nepal. His photos present a re-enactment of the dangers involved in this journey.
Dieter Glogowski, born in 1956, works as a freelance television and photojournalist focusing on the Himalaya region. In 1993, the monks of Lingshed Monastery in Ladakh appointed Glogowski their representative in Germany.
