When Jon Krakauer reached the summit of Mt. Everest in the early afternoon of May 10, 1996, he hadn't slept in fifty-seven hours and was reeling from the brain-altering effects of oxygen depletion. As he turned to begin his long, dangerous descent from 29,028 feet, twenty other climbers were still pushing doggedly toward the top.No one had noticed that the sky had begun to fill with clouds. Six hours later and 3,000 feet lower, in 70-knot winds and blinding snow, Krakauer collapsed in his tent, freezing, hallucinating from exhaustion and hypoxia, but safe. The following morning, he learned that six of his fellow climbers hadn't made it back to their camp and were desperately struggling for their lives. When the storm finally passed, five of them would be dead, and the sixth so horribly frostbitten that his right hand would have to be amputated.
Into Thin Air is the definitive account of the deadliest season in the history of Everest by the acclaimed journalist and author of the bestseller Into the Wild . On assignment for Outside Magazine to report on the growing commercialization of the mountain, Krakauer, an accomplished climber, went to the Himalayas as a client of Rob Hall, the most respected high-altitude guide in the world.A rangy, thirty-five-year-old New Zealander, Hall had summited Everest four times between 1990 and 1995 and had led thirty-nine climbers to the top. Ascending the mountain in close proximity to Hall's team was a guided expedition led by Scott Fischer, a forty-year-old American with legendary strength and drive who had climbed the peak without supplemental oxygen in 1994. But neither Hall nor Fischer survived the rogue storm that struck in May 1996.
Krakauer examines what it is about Everest that has compelled so many people -- including himself -- to throw caution to the wind, ignore the concerns of loved ones, and willingly subject themselves to such risk, hardship, and expense. Written with emotional clarity and supported by his unimpeachable reporting, Krakauer's eyewitness account of what happened on the roof of the world is a singular achievement.
Into the Wild is available on audio, read by actor Campbell Scott.

看完书,久久不能平静。不知从何说起,想留点感慨可是文字匮乏。那还是follow feelings,谈点书中最触动自己的~ 看完全书,印象最深的竟然是那位笔墨很少的瑞典骑行者戈兰 克罗普。1995年10月16日,他骑着一辆载着108公斤装备的自制自行车离开了斯德哥尔摩。他计划从瑞典的海平...
评分看过《绝命海拔》,迫不及待买来这本原作。同样是对96年山难的记录,书中自然是用的记者的第一视角。和电影相比较,整个事件的背景和参与的人员更加复杂完整,特别是对其中争议最大的俄国人,后面有不少篇幅讲述了在本书出版后,作者与俄国向导就事件经过的争执。书中有大量人...
评分1996年5月11日,珠峰,暴风雪夺去了九位登山者的生命。有幸存者写了本书,就叫Into Thin Air。之后被拍成电影。 其中的那个领队是个大牛人。技术,装备,经验,个人能力等等全部因素在他身上近乎完美。 于是,看着最不可能死的人,一步步走向死亡。。。 人最终,最可...

评分我要说自己是一口气读完这本书应该不算过分,一是因为书写得实在是太精彩了,尤其是对一个有过攀登雪山经历的读者来说。二是在读这本书的时候,我正在陪父亲进京看病,火车上宾馆里,等待的过程是漫长和无聊的,好在有这本书,让我有了大把大把的时间对着它,用心地阅读,深刻...
