Milano, 1913, stralcio con copertina posticcia muta, pp. 461/468 con 12 illustrazioni ed una tavola fotografica. - !! ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo di rivista, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perchè ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “estratto” or “stralcio” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.

brossura Con i suoi 8201 m, il Cho Oyu è la sesta montagna più alta della terra. Considerata oggi tra gli ottomila più facili, non lo era sicuramente quando Herbert Tichy, viaggiatore, geologo, fotografo e scrittore, decise di tentarne la prima salita nell'ottobre del 1954 con una spedizione per molti aspetti innovativa: leggera, con un uso limitato di corde fisse, senza ossigeno e organizzata nel periodo post monsonico. Il libro non racconta soltanto di come Tichy raggiunse la vetta nonostante un grave congelamento alle mani, ma è un vero e proprio viaggio nella terra del Nepal e nella cultura degli Sherpa.
