Descripción de contraportada
"For all armchair adventurers who have ever wondered what it would be like to climb in the Himalayas." Geographical
When poet Andrew Greig was asked by the near-legendary Scottish mountaineer Mal Duff to join his ascent of the Mustagh Tower in the Karakoram Himalayas, he had a poor head for heights and no climbing experience whatsoever. The result is this unique book. Already something of a classic in adventure literature, Summit Fever has been loved by climbers and literary critics alike for its refreshing candour, wit and insight, and the haunting beauty of its writing. Much more than a book about climbing, it celebrates the risk, joy and adventure of being alive.
Greig went on to write another climbing book, Kingdoms of Experience, and award-winning collections of poetry, as well as several novels, the most recent of which, In Another Light, won the 2004 Saltire Society Scottish Book of the Year Award.
"Achingly talented. A rare find." On The Edge
"An excellent read, one of the best expedition books so far." Climber
Shortlisted for the Boardman Tasker Prize
