Dreams
of the Peaceful Dragon: A Journey Through Bhutan
by Katie Hickman
The Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan has been isolated from the outside
world for more than three centuries. Although the western part has been
opened to limited tourism, the eastern part of Bhutan remains closed. Katie
Hickman and photographer Tom Owen Edmunds are two of the few foreigners
ever to enter these eastern lands. Starting from the capital Thimpu in
the west, they traveled to the easternmost borders and the mountain–top
retreat of the barbarous Bragpa people. Along the way, they met... The

Beyond
the Sky and the Earth : A Journey into Bhutan
by Jamie Zeppa
As a teacher of English literature, Jamie Zeppa would understand how
the story of her journey into Bhutan could be fit into the convenient box
of "coming-of-age romance," a romance with a landscape, a people, a religion,
and a dark, irresistible student. An innocent, young Catholic woman from
a Canadian mining town who had "never been anywhere," Zeppa signed up for
a two-year stint teaching in a remote corner of the Himalayan kingdom of
Bhutan. Despite the initial shock of material privation and such minor
inconveniences as giardia, boils, and leeches, Zeppa felt herself growing
into the vast spaces of simplicity that opened up beyond the clutter of
modern life. Alongside her burgeoning enchantment, a parallel realization
that all was not right in Shangri-La arose, especially after her transfer
to a college campus charged with the politics of ethnic division. Still
she maintained her center by devouring the library's Buddhist tracts and
persevering in an increasingly fruitful meditation practice. When the time
came for her to leave, she had undergone a personal transformation and
found herself caught between two worlds that were incompatible and mutually
incomprehensible. Zeppa's candid, witty account is a spiritual memoir,
a travel diary, and, more than anything, a romance that retraces the vicissitudes
of ineluctable passion. --Brian Bruya - Amazon.com

The
Raven Crown
by Michael Aris
Synopsis: The hereditary monarchy of the Wangchuk dynasty was established
in 1907 in the independent Himalayan state of Bhutan. This new order quickly
replaced a theocracy founded in the 17th century by the first time of the
"Dharma Rajas", a lineage of reincarnating lamas known by the title of
Shabdrung. The first king of the new dynasty, Ugyen (1862-1926), was a
charismatic figure who came to power against a turbulent background of
incessant and complex feuding. He adopted as the symbol of his authority
a crown surmounted by the head of a raven; the bird represents a form of
Mahakala, Bhutan's guardian deity. The story of the Wangchuk dynasty's
rise and triumph moves from a picture of turmoil and chaos to one of relative
peace and stability. This book provides new perspectives and details revealed
through the use of Bhutanese chronicles. In addition, "The Raven Crown"
is copiously illustrated with rare historical photographs.
