 Tibet - King - Heroic epic - Power of love
 The epic tale of King Gelong’er (Gesar), one of Tibet’s literary treasures, is re-told here for the first time
 for young adult readers. Originally a god, Gesar was sent to Tibet to save the people from their sufferings
 due to war and poverty. Married at a young age to the most beautiful woman in Tibet, King Gesar later
 left his country to fight a nine-headed monster in the north and fell under the love spell of the monster’s
 sister. In his absence Tibet was invaded by a neighboring king, and Gesar’s wife used her tears to break
 the spell and bring Gesar back to Tibet. This edition was well-received both in the Republic or China and
 in the People’s Republic of China. (12+)
