Description

Blurb:
George Herbert Leigh Mallory is said to have given this in reply to the question “Why do you want to climb Mt. Everest?” On his third expedition in June 1924, Mallory and his climbing partner, Andrew Irvine, disappeared on the North-East ridge during their ascent, having been sighted only a few hundred metres from the summit.

In 1993, in a small Nepalese store, Makoto Fukamachi, photographer for a Japanese expedition to conquer Mt Everest, stumbles across an old camera – a Vest Pocket Autographic Kodak Special. Could it be Mallory’s camera? Did it hold the secret of whether Mallory and Irvine made it to the summit?
Klappentext:
In einem Trödelladen in Katmandu findet der Alpin-Fotograf Fukamachi Makoto eine alte Kamera, eine Kodak Vest Pocket Autographic Special. Dasselbe Modell hatte der berühmte Bergsteiger George Mallory 1924 bei sich, als er beim dem Versuch der Erstbesteigung des Mount Everest auf tragische Weise verschollen ging. In einer sentimentalen Anwandlung kauft Fukamachi den Fotoapparat, und ahnt nicht, dass er damit zum Protagonisten einer faszinierenden Bergsteiger-Saga um die höchsten Gipfel der Welt wird.
Texto de presentación:
Enfrentarse a la montaña, escalar rocas, coronar picos... no son sólo reflejo de la pasión por el alpinismo, sino también una metáfora descarnada de la vida misma. “La cumbre de los dioses” es la épica historia de unos hombres y el colosal instinto de superación de sus propios límites. Un libro que atrapará al lector en un insólito ascenso hacia cimas de emoción inéditas.
Testo della bandella:
La storia è ambientata nel 1924. L’inglese George Mallory e il suo compagno di cordata Andrew Irvine si apprestano a un’impresa mai tentata prima: la scalata senza ossigeno degli 8850 metri del monte Everest. Sfortunatamente, i due sportivi non torneranno mai a casa, lasciando avvolto nel mistero l’esito della loro avventura: i due sono stati o no i primi nella storia a raggiungere la “vetta degli Dei”? È quanto Fukamachi, fotografo e giornalista, decide di scoprire dopo aver trovato per caso, in un negozietto di Kathmandu, una macchina fotografica che pare essere appartenuta proprio a Mallory. Ma la sua ricerca viene complicata dal misterioso furto dell’apparecchio, e trasformata in una vera e propria indagine poliziesca: un tuffo nei più profondi recessi di un cuore coraggioso, che aspira alla più alta delle vette.
