Description

Some people have dreams that are so magnificent that if they were to achieve them, their place in history would be guaranteed. Francis Drake, Robert Scott, Charles Lindbergh, Amy Johnson, Edmund Hilary, Neil Armstrong, and Lewis and Clark are among such individuals.

But what if one man had such a dream, and once he’d fulfilled it, there was no proof that he had achieved his ambition?

Jeffrey Archer’s latest book, Paths of Glory, is the story of such a man---George Mallory. Mallory once told an American reporter that he wanted to climb Mt. Everest, “because it’s there.” On his third attempt in 1924, at age thirty-seven, he was last seen six hundred feet from the top. His body was found in 1999, and it still remains a mystery whether he ever reached the summit.

But only after you’ve turned the last page of this extraordinary novel, inspired by a true story, will you be able to decide if George Mallory’s name should be added to the list of legends, in which case another name would have to be removed. Paths of Glory is truly a triumph.

Berg der Legenden von Jeffrey Archer Ein unglaublich guter Roman nach einer wahren Geschichte. 1924 brechen die besten Bergsteiger Großbritanniens zur bislang gewagtesten Expedition auf: Dieses Mal wollen sie den Gipfel des Mount Everest bezwingen. Einer von ihnen ist George Mallory. Doch schließlich, nur kurz vor seinem Ziel, verschwindet er für immer im Nebel. Hat er den Gipfel erreicht? Ist er der eigentliche Erstbesteiger des höchsten Berges der Welt? Denn, wenn ja, so müsste tatsächlich die Geschichte umgeschrieben werden.... Packend bis zur letzten Seite. Definitiv fünf ⭐

Absolut lensenswert!

Tolles Buch nach einer wahren Geschichte... man sollte erst nach dem Buch recherchieren, sonst weiß man wie es endet...
