Atop the Roof of the World

Tibet is a Chinese autonomous region located on the lofty Tibetan Plateau on the northern side of the Himalayas. Because of its soaring peaks, it is known as the “Roof of the World.” Nepal shares Mt. Everest with it. Its capital, Lhasa, is home to the Dalai Lama’s former winter residence, Potala Palace, and Tibet’s spiritual center, Jokhang Temple, which is revered for its golden statue of the young Buddha.

In Tibet, the past and present amalgamate, and the clashes and interactions between ancient culture and the influence of modern life are immense. Exploring this one-of-a-kind location is no easy task. Fortunately, through the lens and pen of a photojournalist, we can get a glimpse of Tibet’s majesty and historical significance. Audrey Topping presents the book, “The Splendors of Tibet.”

Topping has collected a set of exclusive images in this book, including some of the first photographs of magnificent sacred art jewels concealed from public view in three of Tibet’s most important structures: the Potala, the Jokhang, and the Drepung monastery. Other stunning photographs depict Tibet’s vibrant geography and climate as well as the old and new cities of Lhasa and an interesting series of people portraits. Topping has written an informative book about Tibetan history, culture, and religion, including the significance of reincarnation belief, the Dalai Lama’s unique position, and the effect of traditional theocracy on a people. Life in Tibet today is also represented with an emphasis on how modernizing forces are influencing Tibetans’ daily lives.
