The Tibetan Gesar epic, considered "the world's longest poem," has
been the object of countless retellings, translations, and academic
studies in the two centuries since it was first introduced to
European readers. In The Many Faces of Ling Gesar, its many
aspects-historical, cultural, and literary-are surveyed for the
first time in a single volume in English, addressed to both general
readers and specialists. The original scholarship presented here,
by international experts in Tibetan Studies, honours the
contributions of Rolf A. Stein (1911-1999), whose studies of the
Tibetan epic are the enduring standard in this field. With a
foreword by Jean-Noel Robert, College de France. Contributors are:
Anne-Marie Blondeau, Chopa Dondrup, Estelle Dryland, Solomon George
FitzHerbert, Gregory Forgues, Frances Garrett, Frantz Grenet, Lama
Jabb, Matthew W. King, Norbu Wangdan, Geoffrey Samuel, Siddiq
Wahid, Wang Guoming, Yang Enhong.
