具体描述
Into Thin Air is a riveting first-hand account of a catastrophic expedition up Mount Everest. 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 book 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 readers to ponder timeless questions.

对“登山”没有经验,有限的户外经历只能算是长途跋涉,野外的攀岩也极少。 但是书中描述的那些场景好像就植根在自己的脑海里,闭上眼睛就能看见.....这是一些难以用言语描述的、令人失去安全感的画面,夹杂着阴冷的风,被汗水浸透的内衣,脚下松动的细小石块。 躲在温暖的午...
