Into Thin Air recounts one of the first commercial expeditions to Mount Everest, which tragically turns into a fight for survival.

Viac o knihe
Journalist Krakauer, standing on the summit of Mt. Everest, saw nothing that "suggested that a murderous storm was bearing down." He was wrong. The storm, which claimed five lives and left countless more in guilt-ridden disarray, would also provide the impetus for this epic account of the May 1996 disaster. Unabridged.
