Descripción Soft cover. Condición: New. 1st Edition. A classic account of exploration and endurance from the bestselling author of The Wayfinders. In this magisterial work of history and adventure, based on more than a decade of prodigious research in British, Canadian and European archives, and months in the field in Nepal and Tibet, Wade Davis vividly re-creates British climbers' epic attempts to scale Mount Everest in the early 1920s. With new access to letters and diaries, Davis recounts the heroic efforts of George Mallory and his fellow climbers to conquer the mountain in the face of treacherous terrain and furious weather. He takes us beyond the Himalayas to the trenches of World War I, where Mallory and his generation found themselves and their world utterly shattered. In the wake of the war that destroyed all notions of honor and decency, the Everest expeditions, led by these scions of Britain's elite, emerged as a symbol of national redemption and hope. Into the Silence is a timeless portrait of an extraordinary generation of adventurers, the likes of which we will never see again. Review: Amazon Best Books of the Month, October 2011: Its tempting to call Wade Daviss magnificent Into the Silence an Everest of a book. But that would be misleading. It is more like K2: challenging, technically complex, and hugely rewarding upon completion. The book starts off not with mountaineering, but with vivid, novelistic descriptions of the horrors of the First World War. Years of waste and destruction in the trenches, Davis argues, led a desperate nation to embrace the assault on Everest as a gesture of imperial redemption. Those who endured attempts on the summit all bore the scars of the Great Warand they were drawn to the mountain by an almost contradictory desire for conquest and spiritual ablution. At the center of it all is Mallory, whose eventual disappearance effectively closed that chapter in mountaineering. His utterance because its there became a new war cry, but he climbed for deeper reasons entirely. -- Chris Schluep. Nº de ref. del artículo: 020859
