New York: E. P. Dutton and Company, Inc.,, 1954. A remarkable best-selling account of pre-invasion Tibet First US edition, first printing, inscribed by the author on double-page title page recto, "For Rudy Grauer, with best wishes, from, H. Harrer, [inscription in Tibetan,] New York, March 1955". "This is the action-packed story of a young adventurer's escape from a British internment camp in India during World War II and his dramatic trek through rugged Himalayan passes to sanctuary in the Forbidden City of Lhasa" (jacket blurb). Harrer (1912-2006) was an Austrian mountaineer, part of the four-man team who made the first successful ascent of the north face of the Eiger in 1938. Seven Years in Tibet was a runaway best-seller and translated into 53 languages. It gives a glimpse of the old Tibet before the Chinese invasion of 1950. The previous owner of this copy is possibly the former mayor of Richmond, British Columbia, who the author could have met during a tour of North America, from which a number of similarly inscribed copies can be found. Octavo. Double-page title page, 45 illustrations from photographs, and double-page regional map. Original red quarter cloth, gilt-lettered spine, black cloth covers with gilt stamp of Lhasa to front cover. With dust jacket. A near-fine copy, spine ends faded, board corners at foot rubbed, in an unclipped dust jacket, spine faded, extremities rubbed, corners nicked, small closed tear to front panel, a bright and sharp example, very good indeed.
