Jamling Tenzing Norgay Knihy

Vyprávění o filmařské horolezecké expedici IMAX /1996/ na Mount Everest, z pohledu šerpy Jamlinga Norgaye.

In a story of Everest unlike any told before, Jamling Tenzing Norgay gives us an insider's view of the Sherpa world. As Climbing Leader of the famed 1996 Everest IMAX expedition led by David Breashears, Jamling Norgay was able to follow in the footsteps of his legendary mountaineer father, Tenzing Norgay, who with Sir Edmund Hillary was the first to reach the summit of Mount Everest, in 1953. Jamling Norgay interweaves the story of his own ascent during the infamous May 1996 Mount Everest disaster with little-known stories from his father's historic climb and the spiritual life of the Sherpas, revealing a fascinating and profound world that few -- even many who have made it to the top -- have ever seen.

A timely return of this Everest classic autobiography on the 70th anniversary of climbing Everest for the first time together with Sir Edmund Hillary.

29 мая 1953 года два альпиниста, Эдмунд Хиллари и Тенцинг Норгей, впервые ступили на вершину Эвереста. Данная книга представляет собой автобиографию Тенцинга, записанную с его слов Джеймсом Рамси Ульманом.
