Krátky popis
'The definitive back story of Mount Everest' Stewart Weaver,
co-author of Fallen Giants 'Craig Storti has given us the Everest
book that we've needed all along' Scott Ellsworth, author of The
World Beneath Their FeetThe seventy-one-year quest to find the
world's highest mountain. The Hunt for Mount Everest is the
seldom-told story of how the last remaining major prize in the
history of exploration was identified, named and at last found.
This is Everest, the prequel: a high-drama tale, filled with
larger-than-life characters and quiet heroes, traverses the Alps,
the Himalayas, Nepal and Tibet, the British Empire, the
Anglo-Russian rivalry known as The Great Game, the disastrous First
Afghan War, and the phenomenal Survey of India.Encountering spies,
war, political intrigues, and hundreds of mules, camels, bullocks,
yaks, and two zebrules, this account uncovers the fascinating saga
leading up to the fateful day in late June of 1921, when two
English climbers, George Mallory and Guy Bullock, became the first
westerners - and almost certainly the first human beings - to set
foot on Mount Everest.
