Sinossi
Il 10 maggio 1996 due spedizioni raggiunsero faticosamente gli 8.848 metri della cima dell'Everest. Il ritorno fu drammatico e cinque persone persero la vita in una bufera di inaudita violenza. La tragedia avrebbe raggiunto dimensioni maggiori senza l'intervento della guida russa Anatolij Bukreev, che da solo nella tormenta, di notte, senza ossigeno, riuscì a portare in salvo tre persone. Un'azione di salvataggio senza precedenti, al di là delle possibilità fisiche e umane conosciute. Everest 1996 non è solo la cronaca puntuale, documentata e avvincente della salita, ma è anche l'esposizione del conflitto profondo tra due modi di intendere l'alpinismo d'alta quota, nello scontro di uomini e culture che parlano linguaggi diversi, messi drammaticamente alla prova sulla più alta vetta della terra. Everest 1996 è anche il tributo di verità che dobbiamo a uno dei più forti scalatori di ottomila dei nostri tempi.

Recensioni
After having read Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer, I had an impression of this particular Everest expedition that, as I have found out, is completely erroneous. Mr. Krakauer unjustly and inexcusably defamed Anatoli Boukreev by painting a false picture of an event that took the lives of five individual Leggi tutto
Interesting to see the counter-story, but without a doubt, Krakauer's has far more factual backing and truthfully presented research. This book was self-serving to a point of failing factually (and that is DeWalt's fault, not Boukreev's)... Since many people reviewing this book are using the space t Leggi tutto
Anatoli is the man..., or was I should say. I've read a lot of comments others have written about this book, and how many people say that Krakauer's book is so much more entertaining and blah blah blah.... I look for validity in non-fiction. I happen to believe a man who's been climbing since he was Leggi tutto
A fascinating account of what happened on Mount Everest in May of 1996. Written in response to Jon Krakauer's "Into Thin Air" Anatoli Booukreev defends his climbing without oxygen and going on ahead of his team to reach the summit. His best reply, I thought, was his answer to Krakauer's criticism a
I love reading about mountain climbing even though wanting to be the one-thousandth person to climb and having fixed ropes and ladders laid out by underpaid third-world sherpas hardly seems like a valid way to spend $70,000. Now Mallory's attempt is something else entirely. (I'm reading Into the Sil Leggi tutto
Apparently prosciutto without fat is like a kiss without a cuddle. I reckon reading ‘Into Thin Air’ without ‘The Climb’, would be like watching a David Attenborough documentary without the volume turned up. Sure you get the images and you can sort of figure out that something important is happening Leggi tutto
A study of the 1996 disaster at Mt. Everest, when climbers were stranded and several died. In 1996, it seemed like almost anyone could climb Everest, as the guides had the whole thing down to a science. It was becoming little more than just another adventure tour. Then Mother Nature took a hand. There Leggi tutto
