| In to the Air book |
I am totally mesmerized by this bestselling non-fiction book by Jon Krakauer. This book is especially endearing, as one of my closets friends has scaled the Mt. Everest and I could relate to mishaps occurring during such an adventure. It is a detailed account of the Mount Everest disaster of 1996 wherein a storm killed 8 climbers and disturbed several others.
Although the author had given up mountain climbing years ago, he eventually decides to participate in the climb with a purely professional intention. The book takes you through the events that unfold during the climb, including the great mishap. The author narrates how the much experienced and highly qualified climber and guide Boukreev rescued many lives.
I highly recommend this book as it is a real life story of a real life hero. His heroism was no fluke and this insightful and lucidly written book will leave you with no doubt in that regard.
