About the Book

Puissant et profond, emouvant et haletant, un chef-d'oeuvre de litterature, d'histoire et d'esperance. The Times Magnifique... Impressionnant... Un recit saisissant. The ObserverLe 6 juin 1924, 7 000 m d'altitude: deux hommes quittent leur camp perche sur une vire de glace. Objectif: le sommet de l'Everest, encore jamais gravi.On ne les reverra pas vivants. Avec George Mallory, age de 37 ans, le monde perd le meilleur alpiniste britannique de sa generation.Qui sont ces hommes partis, quelques annees apres la Premiere Guerre mondiale, au coeur d'un Himalaya inconnu des cartes? C'est ce que nous raconte Wade Davis, qui nous emmene de l'Angleterre aux Indes, des tranchees de 14-18 aux confins encore inexplores du Tibet, des sables ensanglantes d'Irak et de Gallipoli aux sommets immacules de l'Himalaya.Intrigues diplomatiques entre la Grande-Bretagne et la Russie tsariste et bolchevique, negociations secretes entre le Raj indien et le Dalai-lama: l'aventure de l'Everest ne fut pas qu'un haut fait de l'alpinisme; apres une victoire militaire qui laissait les vainqueurs aussi exsangues que les vaincus, elle representa, pour les rares soldats revenus vivants mais a jamais meurtris, et pour un pays qui avait perdu toute foi en lui-meme, un puissant symbole d'espoir et de redemption nationale.Grace a Wade Davis, nous decouvrons ces hommes remarquables qui ont mene cette aventure a bien, anciens soldats pour la plupart, geographes, medecins, explorateurs, naturalistes et alpinistes. Ils ont parcouru a pied, a dos de mule et de cheval des milliers de kilometres dans un territoire jamais explore, affrontant les chaleurs de l'Inde et les rigueurs glacees du Tibet, l'oeil fixe sur un nouveau Graal: le sommet de l'Everest.Wade Davis a recu de nombreuses distinctions comme la Golden Medal of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society (2009), la Lowell Thomas Medal (2002), la Explorers Medal (2011) ou encore la David Fairchild Medal for Plant Exploration (2012).En 2012, ce livre a remporte le prix Samuel Johnson, la plus haute distinction britannique pour un ouvrage de non-fiction. Il a ete traduit en Chine, au Japon, en Hollande et en Espagne
