About This Item
London: Souvenir Press. Good in Good+ dust jacket. 1960. First Edition. Hardcover. Dampstains to upper margins of boards and endpapers. Splitting to gutter at front hinge. Dust-jacket protected in archival mylar cover.; 256 pages + frontispiece. Blue boards with gilt lettering and rule on spine. Page dimensions: 215 x 138mm. "When a man, formerly an Englishman, claims that his body has been taken over by the spirit of a Tibetan Lama, he can reasonably expect to be pilloried as a crank, a charlatan, or worse. When, in addition, he crecounts extraordinary, highly detailed experiences which predicate the possession of personal powers quite outside the laws of nature as we understand them in the western world, the reaction not surprisingly becomes an uproad. But uproars of this kind do sometimes spring from ignorance. [. . .] Not only does it give the full background to this fantastic phenomenon, but it also relates further amazing adventure which deserve not to be spoiled by any 'appetite-whetting' here. 'The Rampa Story' is Lobsang Rampa's rply to all his critics and every page carries his own unswerving guarantee of truth." - from dust-jacket blurb. .
