À propos de cet audio
One of the inspirations for the major motion picture Everest, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Keira Knightley.
This is the true story of a 24-hour period on Everest when members of three separate expeditions were caught in a storm and faced a battle against hurricane-force winds, exposure, and the effects of altitude, which ended the worst single-season death toll in the peak's history.
In March 1996, Outside magazine sent veteran journalist and seasoned climber Jon Krakauer on an expedition led by celebrated Everest guide Rob Hall. Despite the expertise of Hall and the other leaders, by the end of summit day eight people were dead.
Krakauer's audiobook is at once the story of the ill-fated adventure and an analysis of the factors leading up to its tragic end. Written within months of the events it chronicles, Into Thin Air clearly evokes the majestic Everest landscape. As the journey up the mountain progresses, Krakauer puts it in context by recalling the triumphs and perils of other Everest trips throughout history. The author's own anguish over what happened on the mountain is palpable as he leads his listeners to ponder timeless questions.

In April 1992 a young man from a well-to-do family hitchhiked to Alaska and walked alone into the wilderness north of Mt. McKinley. His name was Christopher Johnson McCandless. He had given $25,000 in savings to charity, abandoned his car and most of his possessions, burned all the cash in his wallet, and invented a new life for himself.

When Edmund Hillary first conquered Mt. Everest, Sherpa Tenzing Norgay was at his side. Indeed, for as long as Westerners have been climbing the Himalaya, Sherpas have been the unsung heroes in the background. In August 2008, when eleven climbers lost their lives on K2, the world’s most dangerous peak, two Sherpas survived. They had emerged from poverty and political turmoil to become two of the most skillful mountaineers on earth. Based on unprecedented access and interviews, Buried in the Sky reveals their astonishing story for the first time.

On October 12, 1972, a plane carrying a team of young rugby players crashed into the remote, snow-peaked Andes. Out of the 45 original passengers and crew, only 16 made it off the mountain alive. For 10 excruciating weeks, they suffered deprivations beyond imagining, confronting nature head-on at its most furious and inhospitable. And to survive, these men and women not only had to keep their faith; they had to make an impossible decision: Should they eat the flesh of their dead friends?

In August of 1914, the British ship Endurance set sail for the South Atlantic. In October 1915, still half a continent away from its intended base, the ship was trapped, then crushed in the ice. For five months, Sir Ernest Shackleton and his men, drifting on ice packs, were castaways in one of the most savage regions of the world. Lansing describes how the men survived a 1,000-mile voyage in an open boat across the stormiest ocean on the globe and an overland trek through forbidding glaciers and mountains.

To live in a pristine land unchanged by man... to roam a wilderness through which few other humans have passed... to choose an idyllic site, cut trees and build a log cabin... to be a self-sufficient craftsman, making what is needed from materials available... to be not at odds with the world but content with one's own thoughts and company. Thousands have had such dreams, but Richard Proenneke lived them.

As a boy, James Rebanks's grandfather taught him to work the land the old way. Their family farm in England's Lake District hills was part of an ancient agricultural landscape: a patchwork of crops and meadows, of pastures grazed with livestock, and hedgerows teeming with wildlife. And yet, by the time James inherited the farm, it was barely recognizable. The men and women had vanished from the fields; the old stone barns had crumbled; the skies had emptied of birds and their wind-blown song.

A Disaster Waiting to Happen
Although this story flowed well and kept my attention throught I do not understand the phylosofy and the desire to "climb Mount Everest". The climb took place in 1996, when Everest was literally crawling with would be climbers. They never really acclimated to the thin air, including the guides and Sherpas. By the time they reached the summit they were falling down, wandering off into nowhere and dying. It was a tragedy and a mess. Mount Everest is a goddess to some, however she is littered with garbage,, not to mention dead bodies. It is all so sad and I believe it is time to give the mountain a rest and rethink her purpose for the world. Gayle

Enjoyed it.
Sometimes hard to follow without concentrating intently. The story is much worth listening to and I found myself googling the expedition members to find out even more of their history beyond the info in the book.

Great book
This book was an odyssey. I can recommend it as an adventure and an education. It’s not all joyful because it’s a true story. I am glad I read it.

Great book and narration!
Really enjoyed this book by Jon Krakauer and the accompanying narration.
It was an exciting story that was tense, suspenseful and kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the listen.
Philip Franklin's narration help immerse me in Krakauer's journey from hope to excitement to despair and desperation.
Would recommend!

Very well done
I'm not a "mountain guy" whatsoever and can't understand those that do for the life of me, but the book was a terrific read and I couldn't stop reading.... Very Well written and seemingly from the perspective of someone who was very humble. You see some say he he is a know it all who has perfect recollection of everything, but I don't read it that way. After reading, I still can't imagine what this group and others went through and I think it is completely naive for anyone to think they do, even people who had done climbs before.

Repeated sentences .
Not a big deal but I found the repeated sentences were an unwelcome distraction in an otherwise well read and written story

So addicting !
This was so good, I've listened to it twice in the past year. I like how Jon adds background notes about Tibetian words or customs and is careful not to pass judgement while providing tonnes of details. Highly recommend.

Excellent
This was very interesting. it's a no BS account of what happened on the mountain disaster, with alot of backstory and context prior to the events.
Its not fluffed up or made dramatic, but naturally keep you interested through its detailed recount.
