Settling in Lhasa, the Forbidden City, he became the tutor and friend of the present Dalai Lama in this classic of adventure literature. * Seven Years in Tibet is one of the greatest and most enduring travel accounts of the twentieth century * The film version of Joe Simpson's Touching the Void has been very successful and has rekindled interest in mountaineering and climbing stories. * The 1997 film version starring Brad Pitt was highly successful, and has helped to keep up public awareness of this classic book.
