Xinran Sky Burial An epic story of Tibet Prijs Euro 19,95 In the early 1960s a rumour circulated through China that one of its soldiers in Tibet had been brutally fed to the vultures. Xinran was a little girl: the tale frightenend and fascinated her. She knew nothing about the Tibetan custom of 'Sky Burial' - indeed few Chinese at the time knew or understood such rituals. But thirty years later, Xinran met a Chinese woman who could tell her the astonishing story that lay behind the legend. Her name was Shu Wen and she had spent most of her adult life lost on the Tibetan plateau... In 1958, Wen was twenty-six. She and her husband Kejun were young medical students, fired with the hope and enthusiasm of the early Communist years. It was this idealism that led Kejun to join the army as a doctor. But only a few months after her marraige, Wen heard that her husband had been killed in action in Tibet. Refusing to believe the news, she too joined up as a doctor and set out for Tibet in search of him. She entered a landscape that nothing had prepared her for - the silence, the altitude, the emptiness was terrifying. But Wen's determination to find Kejun drove her on. It would drive her when she became seperated from her regiment, and when she was lost in the mountains of north Tibet. Text in English,  Niet meer leverbaar!

But there is also hope, and second chances-here are people who reinvent themselves, seize life by the throat, who have moved on and can risk conjuring up hidden memories, daring to go beyond what is actually remembered.
