«In eisige Höhen. Das Drama am Mount Everest», by Jon Krakauer, is the chronicle of the Everest disaster published by Piper in paperback (389 pages, in German).
In 1996, American journalist Jon Krakauer joined a commercial expedition to Everest that ended in tragedy. The book, straddling reportage and memoir, reconstructs the course of the ascent, examines the excesses of modern mountaineering, and conveys the fascination the mountain continues to exert.
This is the German edition of «Into Thin Air» (original 1997), translated by Stephan Steeger; it won the ALA Alex Award and was nominated for the Pulitzer for non-fiction.
For readers interested in mountaineering, real survival stories, and narrative journalism.
Jon Krakauer is an American writer and mountaineer. He is the author of bestselling nonfiction books—Into the Wild; Into Thin Air; Under the Banner of Heaven; and Where Men Win Glory: The Odyssey of Pat Tillman—as well as numerous magazine articles. He was a member of an ill-fated expedition to summit Mount Everest in 1996, one of the deadliest disasters in the history of climbing Everest, which would become the subject of Into Thin Air.
