Kouzelník ze Lhasy - Novic, kvantový fyzik a prastaré tajemství – Michie David (2020)

When the Red Army invades Tibet, Tändzin Dordže, a novice of a Buddhist monastery, is entrusted with a mission that will give his life true meaning. In the darkest hour of his homeland, he must cross the steep peaks of the Himalayas and bring to safety two ancient sacred texts of immeasurable value and significance. Half a century later, scientist Matt Lester finds himself in a similarly pivotal life situation. Under unclear circumstances, he is asked to move his research, the results of which could change the world, from London to Los Angeles. The adventurous stories of Tändzin and Matt unfold in parallel, yet they exhibit striking and surprising connections. Tändzin's physically exhausting and courageous journey across the Himalayas, with the Red Army constantly on his heels, closely resembles Matt Lester's life path. Matt too must overcome a series of traumatizing issues, such as a passionate relationship with his fiancée Isabella or challenges related to his steep professional career. At the moment when Tändzin and Matt face ultimate catastrophe within their stories, their fates suddenly intertwine in an unexpected and surprising way that forces us to reconsider everything we thought we knew about their lives up to that point.
