This is a powerful novel that tells the tale of the Tibetan people''s fight for freedom. The non-violent Tibetans rise up against the Chinese army which invaded their country in 1959, even if they lack sophisticated weapons and training. The triumph of the human spirit is portrayed through the adventures of Siva -- the hero of this novel, who dares to face every challenge life throws at him. Siva absolves his fellow men from the narrow ties of nation, ethnicity, and region and from private attachments. He devotes himself to the pursuit of the free human spirit. Siva hears the stern call of absolute freedom. The landscape he lives in which is icy cold and filled with rocks, crags and plateaus is a perfect setting for his adventures.
