Climbing Everest: The Complete Writings Of George Mallory
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
The book is in very good condition with no damage or markings of note. The pages are somewhat discoloured, but this could just reflect the type of paper used (the book is just 13 years old). It is perfectly readable however and soundly bound. ==================================== George Mallory belongs to a short but distinguished line-up of literary mountaineers such as Joe Simpson, Jon Krakauer and Edward Whymper, the conqueror of the Matterhorn. All his writings on climbing, here collected for the first time in a volume - started out as letters to his wife Ruth. He turned them into finely-crafted pieces which transcend their subject matter that would inspire generations of mountaineers after him. When questioned 'Why climb Everest' he answered with the wry put down 'Because it is there.' His body was dramatically found on Everest in 2007. One day, nonetheless, his camera may provide the answer to the question whether he was the first human to summit Everest.
