Evanescence: A memoir

By Ms. Eva van Dam

Evanescence is a stunning and revelatory memoir that takes you on an adventurous
psychedelic journey from the youth culture of Amsterdam to the heart of the Himalayas.
As one of the early Buddhist pilgrims from the West, the author shares a precious and unique story
that plays out in the 1960s and 1970s.
To bring her spiritual potential to full blossom, Eva van Dam sets out solo for the East, reveling in
the raw, insightful, and sometimes heartbreaking experiences she encounters in her
six years spent in the heart of an unspoiled Asian kingdom.
"The best account of the 1960s overland journey to the East you'll ever read"-Gesar Mukpo,
director of the movie "Tulku".
The book is illustrated with a selection of the author's own striking black and white images.
