Overview

Alexandra David-Neel was the first female explorer of Tibet. Alexandra David-Neel was a Belgian-French explorer, spiritualist, Buddhist, anarchist and writer, most known for her visit to Lhasa, Tibet, when it was still forbidden to foreigners. David-Neel wrote over 30 books about Eastern religion, philosophy, and her travels. Her teachings influenced beat writers Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg, philosopher Alan Watts, and esotericist Benjamin Creme.

This memoir offers an objective account of the supernatural events she witnessed among the mystics and hermits of Tibet - including levitation, telepathy, and the ability to walk on water.
