He also wrote two important books on Tibet and on other zones of Himalaya. His last production is titled "Fuori dalle Piste Battute" a book full of story on travels (on the left the cover). Here you can read a comment on the book writtten by Fosco Maraini:
"... and now we come to our times, maybe a little as “Basso Impero” (lit. low empire), but we can find some great figures as writer: I think about my firiend/enemy mr. Tiziano Terzani… Why friend/enemy? Just because i can't follow him in his absolute pacifism, this way forcely brings to overwhelmness of the stronger over the weaker. Between the mads, funny and intelligent, I put surely also you dear Gianfranco. In this book you make us know, using about twelve chapters, a life long travelling recals “Out of the walked ways”. Great job, I am sure you will have a lot of readers and many of them they will be gratefull to you, because you travel, but, most deeply, you understand."
Your Fosco Maraini
