They had no experience of others to guide them, and no maps. They experienced hardships and dangers that test modern mountaineers with all their sophisticated equipment. The precursor of these expeditions was the Portuguese Jesuit, Bento de Goes, who from 1602 to 1607 skirted the cauntry on an incredible journey from Agra in India across the Hindu Kush, and the Gobi Desert to Su~chen in western China. In 1624 Antonio de Andrade set out from Agta and thna from northern India and Srinagar attained the Mana Pass, where he became the first European to look down upon the plains of Tibet. From there he went on to Tsaparang, where other Jesuits followed and set up a residence. In 1661 the Austrian Jesuit Johannes Grueber and the Belgian Albert d'Orville, in search of an overland route from China to India were first Europeans to reach Lhasa. In 1626 two other Portuguese Jesuits, Estevao Cacella and Joao Cabral, started from Cochin in south India and reached Shigatse, the seat of the Panchen Lama and of the great Tibetan monastery of Tashi~Lunpo. Finally, and most importantly, in 1716 the Italian Jesuit, Ippolito Desideri, made his way to Lhasa and the Potala, the seat of the Dalai Lama. For five years he lived with the Tibetans and studied their religion, language, and customs. this is the fascinating story of adventurous European Jesuit travels across the roof of world to meet in peace and friendship a people yet unknown to much of that world.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. New Hardback Book with Dust Jacket. This is the gripping true story of Jesuit Father John Gerard's adventures as a fugitive priest in Elizabethan England. It chronicles both the constant danger and the ingenious heroics of his highly successful struggle to minister to beleaguered and persecuted Catholics who risked imprisonment and heavy fines- sometimes even death- to keep his identity and work secret. To practice one's faith openly was expressly forbidden; to be an active priest was high treason by act of Parliament and meant a trip to the scaffold. The scene shifts with suspenseful pace from Father Gerard's stealthy entry into the country by sea to the teeming streets of London. He disguised himself as a gentleman and went out into the countryside to set up surprisingly effective Catholic networks from great manor houses where expecially built hiding places- priests holes- offered precarious protection from zealous bands of pursuivants. Betrayed at last, he was captured and taken to the Tower and tortured. But he refused to admit his identity or give away names of those who had hidden and helped him, and in a scene which surpasses fiction in impact, makes good his escape. Superbly translated from the Latin, this is one of the most accurate and realistic historical portraits of an incredibly harsh and brutal time, and of a struggle to keep the faith alive against terrible odds. Fr. Gerard's story is one of flight, hiding, torture, capture and cunning. First published in this country in 1952.
