Specificatii
-White Crane has special appeal as a posthumous novel from the
founding father of Tibetan-English writing -This is the first work
of fiction to deal with the Christian missionary project in Tibet
-White Crane is also a significant historical fiction that provides
insight into pre-1959 life in the Kham province of eastern Tibet, a
period that has yet to be recorded by historians -Through the story
and struggle of Kham guerillas, this novel provides an alternate
perspective to the exiled Tibetan government's discourse of a
non-violent, peace-loving, and Buddhist Tibetan identity A
posthumous novel by Dr Tsewang Yishey Pemba, the founding father of
Tibetan-English literature, White Crane, Lend me your Wings is a
historical fiction set in the breathtakingly beautiful Nyarong
Valley in the Kham province of Eastern Tibet, in the first half of
the twentieth century. Dr Pemba skillfully weaves a dazzling
tapestry of individual lives and sweeping events, creating an epic
vision of a country and people during a time of tremendous
upheaval. The novel begins with a never-told-before story of a
failed Christian mission in Tibet. It takes the reader deep into
the heartland of Eastern Tibet, capturing the zeitgeist of the
fierce warrior tribes of Khampas ruled by their chieftains. This
coming-of-age narrative is a riveting tale of vengeance, warfare
and love, which unfolds through the life story of two young boys
and their family and friends. The personal drama becomes embroiled
in national catastrophe as China invades Tibet, forcing it out of
its isolation. Ultimately, the novel delves into themes such as
tradition versus modernity, individual choice and freedom, the
nature of governance, the role of religion in people's lives, the
inevitability of change, and the importance of human values such as
loyalty and compassion.
