…（也许是史上最硬核的自虐历程，太不可思议了）。- 乔·辛普森的《触摸巅峰》（Touching The Void，我拖了很久一直没看，觉得有点落入俗套，但其实非常棒）。- 海因里希·哈勒的《西藏七年》（Seven Years in Tibet，很难说这有多真实，多少带点吹牛成分，但完全出乎我意料）。- 乔恩·克拉考尔的《艾格峰之梦》（Eiger Dreams，短小精悍的篇幅…
…(maybe history's single greatest suffer-fest, incredible). - Touching The Void by Joe Simpson (I avoided reading this for such a long time, because it's something of a cliche, but it's actually great). - Seven Years in Tibet in Heinrich Harrer (It's hard to know how reliable this is, and it's a bit of a tall tale, but it's absolutely not the book I expected it to be going in). - Eiger Dreams by Jon Krakauer (Bite-sized bits…
…找一本比如讲俄罗斯近代史的书，前十页给我的深度信息就远超我在网上能搜到的。几乎所有领域都是这样，除开虚构类小说吧。《西藏七年》让我学到的西藏地理和文化，比 Google 多少次都要多。无限知识库的概念很吸引人，而且我觉得互联网本来是能做到的——想象一下一套…
…find a book on, say, Russian modern history that will give me far more in-depth information in the first ten pages than I can find online. Same applies for almost any genre, except perhaps fiction. Seven Years In Tibet taught me more about Tibetan geography and culture than any amount of Googling could do. The idea of an infinite knowledge bank is appealing and I think the Internet could have made it - imagine a suite…
…封建政教合一政权，同样不容许任何异见。但那都是历史了。现代西藏理应拥有自主选择的权利，我希望他们有朝一日能有这个机会。至于过去的西藏，我推荐《西藏七年》（Seven Years in Tibet），讲的是一名纳粹逃离了英国在印度的战俘营，然后在西藏待了7年，还当了年轻达赖喇嘛的老师，直到中国人到来的真实故事。我读过并推荐这本书，…
…feudal theocracy, with no dissent allowed, either. But that is history. Modern Tibet deserves to make their own choices, I hope they get the chance to make them one day. And about old Tibet, I recommend "Seven Years in Tibet", real story of a Nazi who fled a british war prisoner camp in india and then spend 7 years in Tibet, also as a teacher for the young Dalai Lama, until the chinese came. I read and recommend the book,…
海因里希·哈勒在他的书《西藏七年》（Seven years in Tibet）里对西藏天葬有一段很有意思的描写。他写到了一个死于天花的小女孩。男人们把尸体抬到高原上肢解并砸碎骨头。鸟儿们显然心知肚明，全围了过来。那些鸟…
Heinrich Harrer wrote an interesting account of a Tibetan sky burial in his book "Seven years in Tibet". He wrote of a young girl dying of small pox. Men took the corpse to a high plateau and dismembered it, crushing the bones. The birds apparently knew what was going on and gathered all around. The birds…
…Maugham Twilight in Italy by D.H. Lawrence Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl Zen and the Art of Archery by Eugen Herrigel In the Land of Pain by Alphonse Daudet (Julian Barnes translation) Seven Years in Tibet by Heinrich Harrer Crawford may well disagree with my thoughts here. He seems to be a pretty devout stoic, but I never met a stoic who didn't have the heart of the mystic beating deep inside. They…

虽然和这里提到的其他故事不太是一路，但《西藏七年》（Seven Years in Tibet）是一本很有意思的书，后来也拍成了电影。
Though not along the same lines as the other stories mentioned here, Seven Years in Tibet was an interesting book, also made into a film.
