Messner: Mit Liv På Grænsen - En Bjergbestigers Fortælling Om Mod og Risiko.
Forestil dig at eje et stykke af nattehimlen, indfanget i denne fortryllende genstand. Hver gang du ser på det, føler du dig transporteret til en verden af drømme og muligheder. Er det en invitation til eventyr, en kilde til ro eller bare en smuk påmindelse om livets skønhed? Kun du kan svare. Grib chancen for at eje noget unikt, noget der fortæller en historie, noget der er mere end bare en ting - det er en følelse, en oplevelse, et løfte.
Reinhold Messner: My Life at the Limit is a conversation between Messner and interviewer Thomas Hüetlin, an award-winning German journalist. It reveals a more thoughtful and conversational Messner, covering not only the highlights of Messner’s climbing career, but also his treks across Tibet, the Gobi, and Antarctica; his five-year-stint as a member of the European Parliament; his encounter with and study of the yeti; his thoughts on traditional male/female roles; and much more. Readers learn about Messner’s childhood, his thoughts about eating ice cream with girls (against), politics (mostly liberal), and his technique for killing chickens (sharp scissors).
Messner is known as one of history’s greatest Himalayan mountaineers, a man who pushed back the frontiers of the possible for a whole generation of climbers. While the interest in My Life at the Limit is that it exposes much more of the man than his climbing career, that career is still utterly remarkable——and Mountaineers Books is proud to present this book, which is core to our mission, to audiences across North America.
