The Myth of Shangri-La: Tibet, Travel Writing and the Western Creation of Sacred Landscape by Peter Bishop Some pencil marking "Each generation creates its own Tibet. Drawing upon accounts of Tibetan and Himalayan travel and exploration, both fact and fiction, the author surveys the many ways in which these myths have developed and changed from the late eighteenth-century to the present-day; and he analyses these myths from a Jungian standpoint. Altogether, this is a masterful and persuasive study of the phenomenology of Western fantasy-making.
