Quando nel 1961 pubblica Le mie montagne, il suo primo libro, Walter Bonatti ha da rac- contare oltre un decennio di imprese impossibili, trionfi e sofferenze: dalla scalata sullo sperone Walker (a 19 anni) all’odissea sul Pilone Centrale, passando per il Grand Capucin, il Dru e la fatidica notte all’addiaccio sul K2. Se questo libro segnerà una svolta nella sua vita, sarà anche per il riaccendersi delle braci che covavano proprio sotto la memoria di quell’episodio.

Chris Bonington è uno dei più grandi alpinisti al mondo. A più di ottant’anni, non smette ancora di affrontare le cime e se stesso: la montagna è per lui sfida, ricerca del limite, senso della vita. In questa autobiografia racconta la sua storia straordinaria: la famiglia, da cui eredita il temperamento avventuroso; la madre, una donna forte, coraggiosa, anticonformista, che lo alleva con tenerezza e determinazione durante gli anni della guerra; l’attrazione per le vette, un magnete irresistibile che lo allontana prima dalla carriera militare e poi da quella nel marketing, reclamandolo a sé come unico scopo dell’esistenza.

They call it the “Death Zone” – 26,000 feet high, close to the roof of the world, where the planet’s rotation causes 140 mph winds. What makes alpine climbers risk fortunes and even their lives in order to stand for five minutes on the world’s highest peak? Mount Everest is also the wind-swept battlefield for personality conflicts, the unfolding of ego-driven dramas, and the sometimes unheralded stories of courage and sacrifice as one climber lays down his life for another.1996 marked a tragic climbing season in Nepal when icy storms blew in and left a number of climbers dead.
