PERFETTO; LIEVISSIMI SEGNI DEL TEMPO. Un classico moderno. "Chi sono gli alpinisti? La perfetta conoscenza del mondo della montagna permette all'Autore di condurre un'inchiesta appassionante." Qui sont les alpinistes ? Depuis les grandes figures de la conquête des Alpes: Balmat, Whymper, Mummery, Preuss, Comici, Allain, Cassin, Lachenal, Terray, Rébuffat, Desmaison... jusqu'aux ténors de l'alpinisme moderne : Messner, Boivin, Escoffier, Profit, Gabarrou, Lafaille... ils apparaissent tous et s'animent dans la vaste fresque historique reconstituée par Yves Ballu. Avec les talents conjoints de l'historien et du conteur, et avec la passion de l'homme de montagne, il a remis en scène les protagonistes de l'histoire alpine au sujet desquels, depuis plus de vingt ans, il a mené une enquête scrupuleuse, explorant les documents souvent inédits ou recueillant de nombreux témoignages. Les portraits alternent avec les récits d'épisodes fameux, et toutes ces aventures tiennent le lecteur en haleine tout en lui offrant une approche passionnante de l'évolution de l'alpiniste. Les index des alpinistes et des ascensions marquantes dans les Alpes et les Pyrénées font de cet ouvrage un document de référence.

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.

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. - !!

If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.
