Hinter den Schneebergen

Bestselling author Ulli Olvedi tells extraordinary stories, fairy tales, and fables from ancient Tibet. Some chapters may remind readers of the Brothers Grimm, others of Aesop's fables, and some can rival the boldness of the Decameron. Whether they are magical, drastic, or cheeky, they primarily showcase the wit of the Tibetans. This wit not only takes the reader into the exotic past of Tibet but also leads them into the joyful heart of this ancient nomadic culture. As a profound connoisseur of Tibetan culture, Ulli Olvedi weaves the tales and fairy tales thematically together, incorporating her own experiences and insights to reveal her very personal Tibet. The included stories are suitable for reading aloud or for personal enjoyment. They bring us a little closer to the roof of the world and allow us to immerse ourselves in it.
