Rogha i Tibéid

Tá mé ag éisteacht go an leabhar fuaime faoi deireanach. Mar roimh, scríobhim seo aiste faoi an dúshlán i Tibéid. Bíonn sé ag fás níos measa ansiud anois.

Insíonn an leabhar (feic mo léirmheas) le Jonathan Green mar gheall ar an dúnmharú ina bean rialta, Kelsang, ag teitheadh Tibéid.  Chonaic dreapadóirí sléibhe é. Chaith siad rogha a dhéanamh.

Bhí raibh dreapadóirí ábalta in ann cabhrú. Áfach, ar mbeadh siad stop cúnamh a thabhairt do na marthanóirí? Mar is gnach, bíonn dith leis dreapadóirí a aontú leis an taobh na Síne.

Theastaigh siad chun bhfabhar chúirt amhlaidh d'fhéadfadh siad tog na Himiléach ar an taobh Tibéidis. Chaith siad féin le do thoil na Síne. Mar sin, rinne dreapadóirí cinneadh deacair.

Bím ag chuala leis an leabhar beag ag beag go hiondúil. Tá fhíos agam go mbeidh níos mó a fhoghlaim faoi an scéal seo i 2006. Inseoidh mé daoibh an chuid eile den scéal dea-inis go luath.

A choice in Tibet

I've been listening to an audiobook recently.  As before, I write this entry about the struggle in Tibet. It's growing worse over there now.

The book (see my review) by Jonathan Green tells about the murder of a nun, Kelsang, fleeing Tibet. Mountain climbers saw it. They had to make a choice.

The climbers were able to help.  However, would they stop to give aid to the survivors? Customarily, there was a need with climbers to take the side of the Chinese.

They wanted to court favor with them to keep climbing the Himalayas from the Tibetan side. They had to please the Chinese. Therefore, climbers made a difficult decision.

I'm hearing the book little by little, usually. I know that there will be more to learn about this 2006 story. I will tell you all the rest of this well-told tale soon.
