內容簡介
征服埃佛勒斯山的先鋒 丹增·諾蓋 艾德蒙·希拉里
「我征服的不是高山，而是自我」 兩位登頂先鋒的生平故事
1953年5月29號，陽光在世界的屋頂綻放，微風吹拂，兩位登山者--- 有「三個肺的奇人」外號的丹增·諾蓋和艾德蒙·希拉里，首次攀上了埃佛勒斯山 （聖母峰的峰頂）創造了記錄。
本書講述2位登頂先鋒如何克服冷冽刺骨的天氣，攀著冰雪般的岩石，頂著強風的吹襲，冒著生命危險，成功登上世界最高峰。在這裡，希拉里說：「我征服的不是高山，而是自我」；丹增自此也成為名人，冥王星表面上有座山脈便以丹增為名。
探險家雷諾夫·範恩斯為本書傳寫前言，畫家Joe Todd-Stanton和作者 Alexandra Stewart's合作，出版此書以慶祝希拉里生日。
This is the breathtaking story of how two very different yet equally determined men battled frost-biting temperatures, tumbling ice rocks, powerful winds and death-defying ridges to reach the top of the world's highest mountain. Join these two unlikely heroes on the most amazing of adventures and discover the impact of hundreds of men and women that helped Hillary and Tenzing achieve their goal. But triumphs can be marred with tragedy as not everyone who climbs Everest survives ...
With a beautiful foreword by the greatest living explorer of our time, Sir Ranulph Fiennes, this brilliant book combines fresh and contemporary illustrations by Joe Todd-Stanton with Alexandra Stewart's captivating writing and publishes in time to celebrate the centenary of Edmund Hillary's birth. This unique narrative tells the story of how Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay made their mark on the world from birth right up to their final days and the impact they've had on Nepal today.
