A landmark in travel writing, this is the incredible true story of Heinrich Harrer’s escape across the Himalayas to Tibet, set against the backdrop of the Second World War. Heinrich Harrer, already one of the greatest mountaineers of his time, was climbing in the Himalayas when war broke out in Europe. He was imprisoned by the British in India but succeeded in escaping and fled to Tibet. Settling in Lhasa, the Forbidden City, where he became a friend and tutor to the Dalai Lama, Heinrich Harrer spent seven years gaining a more profound understanding of Tibet and the Tibetans than any Westerner before him. More recently made into a film starring Brad Pitt, Seven Years in Tibet is a stunning story of incredible courage and self-reliance by one of the twentieth century’s best travel writers.

Prije punih dvadeset godina izašla je prva Kishonova knjiga Nije fer Davide u biblioteci Hit Znanje. Bila je to zbirka humoreski koje je izabrala i prevela Saša Novak iz nekoliko Kishonovih dotad najpoznatijih knjiga. Vjerojatno je upravo zato Nije fer, Davide ostala i najčitanija Kishonova knjiga u nas. Evo, uostalom, što je sam Kishon napisao o tome: "Ta moja prva knjiga, nakon koje je slijedilo desetak drugih, vinula se bila na rang-listi bestselera u bivšoj Jugoslaviji do prvog mjesta. Odonda je proteklo mnogo vode odvodnim kanalima, ja sam višeput posletio svoje nove prijatelje i kolege u Zagrebu, postao sam u međuvremenu čak i dinarski milijarder na svom blokiranom bankovnom računu u Zagrebu i uživao u izvrsnim izvedbama svojih komedija i mjuzikla u Zagrebačkim kazalištima."
