Teltscher, Kate2007
Books
Teltscher tells the story of the British attempt to reach the Qianlong emperor's ear, a narrative of two journeys across some of the harshest and highest terrain in the world: Bogle's mission and the Panchen Lama's visit to China, on which British hopes were hung. She also reconstructs the meeting of four different worlds.
