Gypsy In The Hills (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789356670228)

Gypsy in the hills ―with its curious archive of photographs―records a walking tour of the Ladakh and many more places. A few of the things which cross the path and mind of its narrator are lonely eccentrics, Hemis Monastery, Hemis Monastery existed before the 11th century. In 1894 Russian journalist Nicolas Notovitch claimed Hemis as the origin of an otherwise unknown gospel, the Life of Saint Issa, Best of the Sons of Men, in which Jesus is said to have travelled to India during his 'lost years'. According to Notovitch, the work had been preserved in the Hemis library and was shown to him by the monks there while he was recuperating from a broken leg.[1] But once his story had been re-examined by historians, it is claimed that Notovitch confessed to having fabricated the evidence.[2][3]
