Krátky popis
Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air is the true story of a 24-hour period
on Everest, when members of three separate expeditions were caught
in a storm and faced a battle against hurricane-force winds,
exposure, and the effects of altitude, which ended in the worst
single-season death toll in the peak's history. In March 1996,
Outside magazine sent veteran journalist and seasoned climber Jon
Krakauer on an expedition led by celebrated Everest guide Rob Hall.
Despite the expertise of Hall and the other leaders, by the end of
summit day, eight people were dead.Krakauer's book is at once the
story of the ill-fated adventure and an analysis of the factors
leading up to its tragic end. Written within months of the events
it chronicles, Into Thin Air clearly evokes the majestic Everest
landscape. As the journey up the mountain progresses, Krakauer puts
it in context by recalling the triumphs and perils of other Everest
trips throughout history.The author's own anguish over what
happened on the mountain is palpable as he leads readers to ponder
timeless questions. One of the inspirations for the major motion
picture Everest, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Keira Knightley.
'Into Thin Air ranks among the great adventure books of all time.'
- Wall Street Journal'A harrowing tale of the perils of
high-altitude climbing, a story of bad luck and worse judgment and
of heartbreaking heroism.' - People
