Hardback. Etat : Used. In a world where every hillock proudly boasts its own grandeur, there looms one colossal peak that dares to be the most pretentious of them all: Everest. Enter the pages of "The Story of Everest," a delightful tome penned by the intrepid W.H. Murray in the year 1953, a time when men were men, and mountains were merely inconvenient obstacles between them and a good cup of tea. Published by Dent & Sons, this book unfurls like a Victorian gentleman at a soirée?exquisite, slightly musty, and perhaps a tad too proud of its lineage. Do you have an insatiable thirst for tales of frosty escapades? Perhaps you find yourself yearning for a narrative that recounts the same ascent over and over, but with just enough variation in the descriptions of frostbite to keep you on the edge of your seat? Look no further! Murray?s captivating prose will transport you to the lofty heights of adventure?if only your imagination could handle the altitude. You?ll learn about climbers who, in their fervent desire to conquer the ?top of the world,? perhaps forgot that the world has more than just one peak. But who are we to judge when they had ice axes and a naïve sense of perseverance? As you leaf through this treasure trove of high-altitude anecdotes peppered with the occasional existential crisis, you might wonder if Murray had a hidden agenda to make readers feel terribly underachieved while simultaneously craving a hot chocolate. The sheer commitment to scale Everest is admirable, yet one can?t help but chuckle at the thought of these brave souls lugging around heavy gear and climbing ropes, all in the name of capturing a view that, let?s face it, looks remarkably similar no matter where you stand. A view that, if you squint hard enough, you could probably see from your living room window?if you happen to live in the right part of the world, or if perhaps your imagination is particularly vivid. Besides witty accounts of frost and folly, the book features a delightful blend of technical jargon and poetic musings. Murray, in his infinite wisdom, meticulously details the struggles of man against nature?though one might argue that the real struggle lies in deciphering the book?s more esoteric passages. It?s almost as if the author is inviting readers to embrace the cold, embrace the struggle, and, dare we say, embrace the ever-looming existential dread that comes with realizing the futility of it all. But fear not, dear reader! For each page promises not just a narrative of highs and lows, but also an almost Sisyphean journey through the minds of those who dared to risk life and limb for a photo op at the top. Bravo, indeed! If you?re the sort of daring soul who prefers to soak in the ambiance of ancient glaciers from the comfort of your couch, this book is an absolute must-have. After all, the only thing more thrilling than climbing Everest is reading about it while snuggled in your favorite armchair, wrapped in a blanket and sipping on a cup of tea. And let?s be honest?who really wants to endure the hassle of packing for such a trip when you can enjoy the same thrill from the safety of your own home, perhaps while gently scolding the kettle for taking its time? So, what can you expect from "The Story of Everest"? A journey through the ages, a historical retrospective of those who tried, and a fair amount of poetic waxing and waning about the virtues of climbing mountains no one asked to be climbed. Join W.H. Murray on this expedition of epic proportions, and discover the truths that are both monumental and utterly mundane. Condition: This delightful adventure is, unfortunately, not in pristine shape. The pages are yellowed with wisdom and perhaps a few coffee stains?testaments to its previous owners? penchant for literary snacking. Expect some creases, an occasional dog-eared page, and a certain *je ne sais quoi* that comes with age. Perfectly imperfect, just like the climbers it chronicles. So, if you find yourself yearning for the combination of nost. N° de réf. du vendeur 2570
