«Le cheval de vent» is an adventure story by Patrick Segal, published by Flammarion in paperback (238 pages, in French).
Patrick Segal recounts the 1979 expedition to Ama Dablam in the Himalayas and his 1981 journey to Thailand to try to free from prison a young disabled man accused of heroin trafficking. The cheval de vent, a prayer flag of the Himalayan peoples, gives the book its title and symbolises escape and the drive to go further.
Le cheval de vent continues the trajectory of L'Homme qui marchait dans sa tête (1977) and Viens la mort, on va danser (1979). Patrick Segal (1948) was interministerial delegate for people with disabilities.
For readers of travel and real adventure stories, interested in the Himalayas, Thailand and accounts of personal overcoming.
