Anotace

V originále

The core of the book is a critical edition of an unpublished report of Jan Vinař from his 1959 trip to Tibet called Tibet, a Country Where People Have Leapt a Thousand Years Forward. Vinař’s text, which forms the second and main part of this book, was never published officially (there are only fifteen copies of a samizdat edition printed in 1983 in Zurich) and today it can be considered an important documentary material of the given historical period. The report was written in 1960, however, due to the political split between Moscow and Beijing it was not possible to get the text published at that time. Indeed, the Czechoslovak journalist’s documented experience in Tibet echoes the official Chinese narrative of Tibetan history and social development and his views reflect the Chinese interpretation of the March 1959 uprising. Nevertheless, his text provides information not published by other visitors of Tibet after what the Chinese side calls “pacification of the rebellion”. Moreover, the book includes never revealed photographic material from the 1959 journalist expedition to Tibet and other images documenting the Chinese post-uprising policies and their implementation in Lhasa, Zhikatse and Lhokha. The editors of this book have provided scholarly commentary to the original text in the form of footnotes, accompanied by a preface, editorial notes, as well as concluding remarks. The book is an academic publication, the original text by Jan Vinař was meant as an actual piece of journalism from Tibet in 1959 written for everyone interested in China and/or Tibet from both political and historical points of view. Thanks to its content, the book is a unique publication providing new information, not just textual, but visual as well.
