Description
With a passion for nature and adventure in his heart, the author sets off into the mountains and on the white-water rivers of Asia and Europe. His experiences are filled with tension, humor, and philosophical reflections on what nature allows us and what we have already taken from it. Can we truly understand the forces that surround us? The author compares modern mass tourism with the romance of past adventures and shows how the world of mountains and the journeys to them have transformed. Join him in a world where jagged peaks and wild rapids create a backdrop for tests of human resilience and self-discovery. How do you escape a vertical wall when falling sharp stones cut your rope? What is it like to be struck by lightning at the summit of a mountain just when it's time to start heading back if you want to survive? And can the same thing happen to the same person twice in a lifetime?
