Présentation de l'éditeur
Celebrated in his time as 'the rarest spirit of his generation', George Mallory vanished on the 8th of June 1924 in a third desperate attempt to climb Everest. Seventy-five years later his body was discovered at 27,000 feet. Mallory's courage and skill as a mountaineer, his immense charm and commitment to literature, the arts and the social and political issues of the day secured a place for him in the pantheon of Great British Heroes of the twentieth century. His life and tragic death continue to fascinate. David Robertson's biography was acclaimed on first publication. This new edition carries a foreword by Joe Simpson.
Revue de presse
'There is something ...in this liturgical devotion to verse and rubric...that leads one on devoutly to the end; and the end is magnificent...Nobody could fail to read this book without being moved by its conclusion...It was the best of adventures, after all.' --James Morris, The Times
'David Robertson has given us an admiringly balanced account of the man behind the legend...The chapters dealing with the Everest expeditions are of particular interest for their insight into some human aspects of the venture, naturally excluded from official accounts.' --Eric Shipton, Geographical Magazine
