The ‘Green Eyed Lama’, a novel about the great Mongolian repression in 1937 has been translated into French. “Le moine aux yeux verts”, as the translation is entitled, will be printed soon.

For nearly 10 years the Mongolian version of the ‘Green Eyed Lama’ has been on the Mongolia’s best seller list, and has won numerous awards. An  English version of the book has also recently been produced. The novel was written by former Member of the Mongolian Parliament and former Minister of Sports, Culture and Tourism, Ts.Oyungerel and Jeffrey L. Falt; both authors will be present at the American Centre for Mongolian Studies in Philadelphia to discuss the history, issues and lessons to be learned from the dark period of Mongolia’s past in which the story is set.
