تاریکی بر تبت (مجموعه مسافران عرفانی)

In this second reprint of the rare 1930s travel book by Illion, the German traveller continues through Tibet and is given the directions to a strange underground city. As stated in the original publisher's remarks, this is a rare account of an underground city in Tibet by the only westerner ever to enter it and escape alive. "While traveling in disguise in Tibet in the early 1930's, Illion made some chance acquaintances which led to the contacts with an occult fraternity and an invitation to visit the underground city. There he had some truly remarkable experiences, which are recorded in this book. Ilion was one of the first travelers to penetrate Tibet while it was still sealed off from the outside world. Some believe these stories are clearly symbolic but may have some basis and fact and probably capture some of the spirit of popular belief in the region. Determining the account's precise accuracy is difficult from a Western standpoint."--Back cover
