Histoire
Joe Simpson, with just his partner, Simon Yates, tackled the unclimbed West Face of the remote 21,000-foot Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes in June of 1985. But before they reached the summit, disaster struck. A few days later, Simon staggered into Base Camp, exhausted and frostbitten, to tell their non-climbing companion that Joe was dead. For three days he wrestled with guilt as they prepared to return home. Then a cry in the night took them out with torches, where they found Joe, badly injured.

Histoire
Travelers often become enchanted with the first country that captures their hearts and gives them license to be free. For Wade Davis, it was Colombia. Now in a masterly new book, Davis tells of his travels on the mighty Magdalena, the river that made possible the nation. Along the way, he finds a people who have overcome years of conflict precisely because of their character, informed by an enduring spirit of place, and a deep love of a land that is home to the greatest ecological and geographical diversity on the planet.

Histoire
The Viking Age - from 750 to 1050 saw an unprecedented expansion of the Scandinavian peoples into the wider world. As traders and raiders, explorers and colonists, they ranged from eastern North America to the Asian steppe. But for centuries, the Vikings have been seen through the eyes of others, distorted to suit the tastes of medieval clerics and Elizabethan playwrights, Victorian imperialists, Nazis, and more. None of these appropriations capture the real Vikings, or the richness and sophistication of their culture.

Description
On June 6, 1924, two men set out from a camp perched at 23,000 feet on an ice ledge just below the lip of Mount Everest’s North Col. George Mallory, thirty-seven, was Britain’s finest climber. Sandy Irvine was a young Oxford scholar of twenty-two with little previous mountaineering experience. Neither of them returned.
In this magisterial work of history and adventure, based on more than a decade of prodigious research in British, Canadian, and European archives, and months in the field in Nepal and Tibet, Wade Davis vividly re-creates British climbers’ epic attempts to scale Mount Everest in the early 1920s. With new access to letters and diaries, Davis recounts the heroic efforts of George Mallory and his fellow climbers to conquer the mountain in the face of treacherous terrain and furious weather. Into the Silence sets their remarkable achievements in sweeping historical context: Davis shows how the exploration originated in nineteenth-century imperial ambitions, and he takes us far beyond the Himalayas to the trenches of World War I, where Mallory and his generation found themselves and their world utterly shattered. In the wake of the war that destroyed all notions of honor and decency, the Everest expeditions, led by these scions of Britain’s elite, emerged as a symbol of national redemption and hope.
Beautifully written and rich with detail, Into the Silence is a classic account of exploration and endurance, and a timeless portrait of an extraordinary generation of adventurers, soldiers, and mountaineers the likes of which we will never see again.

Captivating
Captivating recounting of the tale of some fascinating characters from such a different time and place. The war was tragic and forever changed these men. They tried to fill a hole left in their souls with this ultimate challenge of mountaineering, to conquer the worlds tallest park. They underestimated the challenge.

Expansive
All in all an excellent book. Gives you a look at a part of History when everyone was so different. Trust faith courage these were Hallmarks of that time. Also like the fact that the author did not shy away from the more questionable aspects of that time. Thoroughly enjoyed it followed it up with some online photographs that are pretty amazing.

Historical intrigue
I found the approach with this narrative quite interesting when understanding the post World War I situation in which exploration of Mount Everest was occurring. The author flips between describing the exploration, to individuals backgrounds and history within their role during the war. It’s quite fascinating to think about this time in the world, and the desire to, or rather need, to find something of hope. Narration was strong and clear. Thank you - I quite enjoyed it!

What an achievement!
I can't imagine the amount of research gone into this fantastic book. Wade Davis so thoroughly captured the horrors of WW1 and the resulting effect on its survivors. He elucidates the attitudes and importance of the challenge that drew men like Mallory to take on the mountain and try to conquer it at all costs.

Good story, well told, weird pronunciation,
Like most people here, I love to listen to audible books when I’m doing something else. This book is good but WTF is going on with the pronunciation? Are readers not given an opportunity to review the material and research words (or place names) with which they are not familiar? It is such a distraction, it happens over and over again, and it has really diminished my enjoyment of this book (and others). I recommend this book only if you have never heard the place names of famous WW1 battles or rivers in Canada as pronounced by native English speakers.
