Gli spiriti dell'aria

Year: 1997 Pages: 384 This book is the refined travel diary of an anomalous and extraordinarily creative mountaineer, the account of the life of a nomad between zero and eight thousand metres. "Only the spirits of the air know what I will find behind the mountains..." says a Greenlandic proverb, and Kurt Diemberger has always followed the voices of the spirits to discover the secrets hidden in the landscapes of the Earth. From the immense emptiness of the Grand Canyon to the mysteries of the Amazon forest, from the white Greenland deserts to the absurd tragedy of K2. The discovery of these secrets could be called adventure, but it is something that goes deep: Diemberger dedicated his life to this search.
