Produktinformationen zu „After Everest - 'The last innocent adventure' Ian Morris (ePub)“
On 29 May 1953 Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary conquered Everest.Before it had claimed the lives of dozens of climbers, including George Leigh Mallory in 1924. Norgay, the descendant of generations of yak herders, was destined to become a Lama, but his love for the mountains was that much stronger and he ran away from his Buddhist monastery. He had but one dream despite the deaths of many mountaineers: to conquer Everest. For thirty years expeditions had been struggling to scale its fiendishly difficult icy slopes until he and Hillary finally succeeded. His memoir is a unique and eloquent tribute to Zen and the art of mountain climbing.
Autoren-Porträt von Tenzing Norgay
Tenzing Norgay was born as Namgyal Wangdi in a family of small mountain farmers and herders. Destined to become a lama in a monastry that gave him his new name, he chose his own path despite having little money or schooling. In 1953, members of the Himalayan Club in Darjeeling sniggered at a 'carrier' who thought he could conquer that peak, but Tenzing, confident of his skills, insisted that he would join the British climbing team only as a full climbing member rather than as a sherpa.
