Written in the 1990s after retirement from his services as a doctor
and discovered by his daughter in the loft of their house in
Darjeeling in India in 2017, this memoir of Dr. Tsewang Yishey
Pemba provides an intricate portrayal of early twentieth-century
Tibet. With his finger on the pulse of the Tibetan ethos, Pemba
offers glimpses into the traditional sociology of Tibet and
occasionally its snail-paced reforms, as well as the British Raj in
India, while recollecting his young days in his native country.
Pemba also draws information from prized sources like his fathers
diaries and his conversations with Tibetan and British officials as
well as people at the grassroots. His own metamorphosis, as he
leaves Tibet in 1949 for higher education abroad, foreshadows the
metamorphosis of Tibet and its inescapable fate in the decade that
followed.
