‎DAVID-NEEL, Alexandra, & Lama Yongden‎

‎Le Lama aux cinq sagesses Mipam: The Lama of the Five Wisdoms.‎

‎Paris: Plon 1935. Inscribed by the author and her adoptive Tibetan son First edition first printing presentation copy inscribed on the half-title: "A Monsieur Henry Bénazet avec mes compliments Alexandra David-Néel" and additionally in Tibetan by Lama A. Yongden. While relatively well-represented institutionally inscribed copies are notably scarce; an exceptionally well-preserved example of the first novel written for Western readers by a Tibetan lama. The French-Belgian explorer Alexandra David-Néel 1868-1969 travelled extensively in India and Tibet in the first half of the 20th century in order to study Buddhism. Her interest in travel was nurtured from a young age and while studying in Paris in 1889-90 she immersed herself in Asian languages and joined a number of secret and spiritual societies. In 1917 she travelled to China and took up a three-year residence at the famous Kumbum monastery where she spent her time translating Buddhist texts into English and French. A talented linguist she became conversant in multiple Tibetan dialects affording her access to fascinating experiences unavailable to most other outsiders. Aphur Yongden also known as Lopon Tenzin Namdak 1899-1955 was a Tibetan lama and spiritual teacher. He first met David-Néel in 1919 and the two quickly formed a close bond. Together they embarked on a journey to Lhasa in 1924 which was fraught with danger and difficulty as the two had to travel incognito in order to avoid detection by the Tibetan authorities. Despite the numerous challenges the pair eventually reached the capital and spent several months there immersing themselves in Tibetan culture. Consequently David-Néel was the first Western woman to visit the sacred city. She formally adopted Yongden as her son in 1929. In her writings she praised Yongden's wisdom and religious insights and credited him with deepening her understanding and shaping her spiritual journey. Le Lama aux cinq sagesses is the tale of two lovers overcoming occult forces while also describing Tibetan people and their spiritualism. It was a collaborative effort and "the first fictional attempt by a Tibetan to depict true Tibetan life" Winks p. 89. David-Néel comments on the reflections prior to commencing the book in her introduction: "Several trips outside Tibet have already allowed my son to make some contact with the western world and some books published there concerning Tibet have come into his hands …Why he said to me do people who have never entered Tibet who know nothing about the look of the country and the customs of its inhabitants venture to write about them Everything I have read of their descriptions is completely incorrect … If you so blame those who present a false and grotesque picture of your country in their books you must contest them with correct descriptions of the men and things here. Write a book that will. I will write your book in my language" our translation. It was translated into English in 1938. The knowledge of Tibetan Buddhism that David-Néel and Yongden proliferated has had a profound influence on the spiritual landscape of the West and its teachings and practices continue to be a source of inspiration. Provenance: the recipient is likely Henry Bénazet the renowned French journalist who wrote La Mort du révolte 1932 and L'Afrique française en danger 1947. Small octavo. With frontispiece portrait of Yongden; prospectus loosely laid in. Original wrappers spine lettered in black front cover lettered in black and green top edge cut others uncut. Wrappers very lightly creased minor toning throughout. A near-fine copy of a fragile publication. Howgego IV D7; Robinson pp. 9-10. Robert Winks ed. Asia in Western Fiction 2017. unknown‎

‎Magie D'Amour et Magie Noire; Scenes du Tibet Inconnu‎

‎Paris: Librairie Plon 1938. 8th Thousand. Octavo. 19cm. Publisher's card wraps titled in black and blue. Glassine jacket. 246pp. A little toning and soiling to the pale cream covers strong and tight; internally clean uniform toning du to cheap paper stock some pages unopened. A very good copy.<br /> <br /> A French language investigation into the "secrets" of Tibet by the phenomenally interesting and fearless Alexandra David-Neel; spiritualist anarchist world traveler opera singer and author of almost 40 works on a variety of esoteric subjects. She visited Lhasa in 1924 during the period when it was forbidden to foreigners which was something of a depressing habit of intrepid Westerners during the period and her esoteric mystery writings ended up being widely circulated in the 1950's-60's inspiring some of the most notable figures in the Beat and proto-Hippy movements including Ginsburg Kerouac Ram Dass and others. In 1899 at the age of 28 she penned an anarchist tract that was too inflammatory for general publication and was only disseminated in a minisucle privately printed form she had already converted to Buddhism ten years prior and in the dying years of the 19th century she cemented her desire to become an orientalist learning sanskrit and various Tibetan dialects. She drifted in and out of the Theosophical society was embraced by early feminist groups was first singer at the Hanoi Opera House under the name of Alexandra Myrial and between 1911 and 1946 devoted her life to various tours and expeditions around Tibet China and South East Asia. In 1937 she became embroiled in the Second Sino-Japanese War and was forced to wander almost penniless through remote parts of China for a couple of years before entering a reteat in Tachienlu in Tibet in 1938 where she remained for 5 years only returning to the West to settle the estate of her husband who had died suddenly in her absence. After a long lifetime of adventure discovery and ceaseless searching for mystery she died in Digne Les Bains in Southern France in 1969 and remains a mostly forgotten figure in the field of esoteric and cutltural exploration.
