Tibet's Secret Mountain The Triumph of Sepu Kangri【電子書籍】[ Chris Bonington ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>For <strong>Chris Bonington</strong> and <strong>Charles Clarke</strong>, long-time friends and expedition partners, few mountains were more alluring than <strong>Sepu Kangri</strong>. Known locally as 'the Great White Snow God', Tibet's nearly 7,000-metre mountain had never before been visited by Westerners. Armed only with a tourist map for reference, the two set off for this elusive peak in 1996.</p> <p>In the reconnaissance and two expeditions that followed, neither of them were expecting to be profoundly impacted by their experiences. However, they not only met their match in Sepu Kangri, but both found their expertise pushed to the limit. While Clarke acted as a travelling doctor, treating myriad ailments encountered along the way, including a life-saving diagnosis of an ectopic pregnancy, Bonington's love of technology saw him testing out cutting-edge satellite phones and computers, allowing them to communicate with the outside world for the first time on an expedition.</p> <p><em><strong>Tibet's Secret Mountain</strong></em> is a story of discovery as much as it is an account of the expeditions, and it is this that sets it apart from other mountaineering memoirs. The focus not only on the climbing itself, but the experiences, people and tensions that accompany it, offers a poignancy that anyone with a love of adventure will identify with. Beautifully written and full of unfailing cheer, <em><strong>Tibet's Secret Mountain</strong></em> is Bonington and Clarke's love letter to mountaineering.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Boys of Everest Chris Bonington and the Tragedy of Climbing's Greatest Generation【電子書籍】[ Clint Willis ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>?The exploits of mountaineering’s most colorful band of adventurers</p> <p><em>The Boys of Everest</em> by Clint Willis tells the gripping story of “Bonington’s Boys,” a band of climbers who reinvented mountaineering during the three decades after Everest’s first ascent. It is a story of tremendous courage, astonishing achievement, and heartbreaking loss. Chris Bonington’s inner circle included a dozen of mountaineering’s most legendary figuresーDon Whillans, John Harlin, Dougal Haston, Doug Scott, Peter Boardman, Joe Tasker, and othersーwho together gave birth to a new brand of climbing. They took increasingly challenging risks on now-legendary expeditions to the world’s most fearsome peaksーand they paid an enormous price. Most of them died in the mountains, leaving behind the hardest question of all: was it worth it?</p> <p><em>“Willis's classy style turns reportage into literature . . . Bonington's Boys come across as raw, anguished souls . . . As Willis describes in his artful prose, their suffering is not just a means to an end (the summit), it is an end.”</em> ?The New York Times</p> <p><em>“A gripping adventure saga . . .”</em>?Publishers Weekly</p> <p><em>“A death-haunted saga of the scalers of heaven . . .”</em> ?Kirkus Reviews</p> <p><em>“Mr. Willis tells a story that is gripping and poignant and even appalling . . .”</em> ?The Wall Street Journal</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Des grandes parois des Alpes aux hauts sommets de l'Himalaya, son nom ?voque les ann?es h?ro?ques de l'alpinisme moderne, une ?poque de premi?res dangereusement aventureuses et de d?fis toujours plus engag?s.

In salita Una vita al limite【電子書籍】[ Chris Bonington ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Chris Bonington ? uno dei pi? grandi alpinisti al mondo. A pi? di ottant’anni, non smette ancora di affrontare le cime e se stesso: la montagna ? per lui sfida, ricerca del limite, senso della vita. In questa autobiografia racconta la sua storia straordinaria: la famiglia, da cui eredita il temperamento avventuroso; la madre, una donna forte, coraggiosa, anticonformista, che lo alleva con tenerezza e determinazione durante gli anni della guerra; l’attrazione per le vette, un magnete irresistibile che lo allontana prima dalla carriera militare e poi da quella nel marketing, reclamandolo a s? come unico scopo dell’esistenza. E di qui, le infinite scoperte che la montagna riserva a chi la pratica, la ama, non pu? farne a meno: la gioia nella conquista di nuove vette; lo sconforto nei fallimenti, dai quali c’? sempre una lezione da imparare; la pazienza nell’aspettare il momento giusto e il coraggio nel coglierlo; il dolore per la perdita di cari amici e compagni di cordata. Nonostante traguardi e record, fama e onori, niente lo ha potuto proteggere dalla malattia che ha condotto Wendy, sua moglie, fonte inesauribile di fiducia e di conforto, a una tristissima fine. Scalando l’Old Man of Hoy, la torre che sfida tutti i climber del mondo ergendosi fra le onde dell’Atlantico con i suoi centotrenta metri di altezza, Chris porta con s? i suoi ottant’anni, il peso del dolore e un corpo ben diverso da quello con cui aveva affrontato l’impresa quando ne aveva poco pi? di trenta. Ma giunto in cima, sente di aver capito il senso di questa sfida: fare di ogni giorno un giorno pieno di significato, continuare a camminare, scalare, godersi la vita rendendola pi? ricca ed emozionante possibile. ? a partire da questa consapevolezza che Chris ci racconta come ? arrivato fin qui.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

I Chose To Climb【電子書籍】[ Sir Chris Bonington ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>The early climbing years of Britain's greatest living mountaineer, from his schooldays to his ascent of the Eiger in 1962.</strong></p> <p>I CHOSE TO CLIMB, first published in 1966, was Chris Bonington's first book. He was recognised then, as now, as one of the outstanding members of a brilliant generation of mountaineers, which included such personalities as Hamish MacInnes, Don Whillans and Ian Clough. Here he describes his climbing beginnings as a teenager as well as successful ascents all over the world: the first ascent of the Central Pillar of Freney, the first British ascent of the North Face of the Eiger in 1962, Annapurna II in 1960 and in an unhappy expedition in 1961, Nuptse, the third peak of Everest. The first volume of Chris Bonington's autobiography is written with a warmth and enthusiasm that he has made his own. It tells of his climbing tastes and practice, and of family, friends and partnerships cemented over many years.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Sea, Ice and Rock Sailing and Climbing Above the Arctic Circle【電子書籍】[ Chris Bonington ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>When leading mountaineer Sir Chris Bonington was researching Quest for Adventure, his study of post-war adventure, he contacted Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, the first person to sail single-handed and non-stop around the world, for an interview. This simple request turned into an exchange of skills, which then grew into a joint expedition to Greenland's unexplored Lemon Mountains. Sea, Ice and Rock is the story of this epic journey.</p> <p>With both Bonington and Knox-Johnston having little experience in the other's craft, their expedition was not without difficulty. But through one another's support, the two men and their team sailed from Britain to Greenland, going on to twice attempt the Lemon Mountain's forbidding highest peak, the Cathedral. Though their attempts ended in a dramatic descent, this could not dampen the unfailing optimism with which the two approached their task. They recount their experiences not only with appreciation for the awe-inspiring nature that surrounded them, but also for one another.</p> <p>Layers of alternate narration between Bonington and Knox-Johnston make this a truly collaborative memoir. In the same way they exchanged skills on their expedition, the two authors rely on one another's recollections to fill the gaps in their own. Full of ambition and perseverance, anyone wondering why Bonington and Knox-Johnston are masters in their fields need only read Sea, Ice and Rock.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Kongur China's Elusive Summit【電子書籍】[ Chris Bonington ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>'It was Kongur that dominated everything, and was the focus of our gaze and aspirations.'</p> <p>So thought <strong>Chris Bonington</strong> upon the Chinese Mountaineering Association's decision to open many of Tibet and China's mountains to foreigners in the 1980s. Not only did this mean that <strong>Kongur</strong>, China's 7,719-metre peak, was available to climb, but that those choosing to do so would be among the first to set foot there. It was an opportunity too good to miss.</p> <p>For the planned alpine-style ascent of this daunting peak, Bonington assembled a formidable team, including <strong>Peter Boardman</strong>, <strong>Joe Tasker</strong>, <strong>Al Rouse</strong> and expedition leader <strong>Michael Ward</strong>. Their reconnaissance and 1981 expedition brought opportunity for discovery and obstacles in equal measure: they were able to explore areas that had eluded westerners since Eric Shipton's role as British Consul General in Kashgar in the 1940s; but appalling weather, unplanned bivouacs and tensions characterised their quest for the ever-elusive route to the summit.</p> <p>Featuring diary extracts and recollections from each team member, this account not only captures the gripping detail of the ascent attempts, but also the ebb and flow of the relationships between the remarkable mountaineers involved. Add to this the pioneering medical work on high-altitude illnesses conducted by the four-man medical team, and the result is a book which captures a unique moment in mountaineering history.</p> <p>Written with the cheer and eloquence typical of Chris Bonington, <em><strong>Kongur</strong></em> captures the essence of adventure and exploration that brings readers back to his books time and time again.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Everest Years The challenge of the world's highest mountain【電子書籍】[ Chris Bonington ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>Sir Chris Bonington</strong> is a household name as a result of his distinguished mountaineering career during which he has lead pioneering expeditions to the summits of some of the most stunning mountains in the world. <em><strong>The Everest Years</strong></em> shares the story of his relationship with the highest and most sought-after peak on the planet, <strong>Everest</strong>, and his ultimate fulfilment upon finally summiting in 1985 at age fifty.</p> <p>Bonington chronicles four expeditions to the Himalaya and Everest, including the 1975 South-West Face expedition on which he was leader and on which Doug Scott and Dougal Haston became the first Britons to summit the mountain. Bonington also recounts expeditions to <strong>K2</strong> and <strong>The Ogre</strong> (Baintha Brakk) in the Karakoram, and <strong>Kongur</strong>, in China, describing passionately each attempt: the logistics, glory, and tragedy, seeking to explain his perpetual fascination with the highest points on earth, despite repeatedly enduring the trauma of losing friends, and often placing huge responsibility upon anxious loved ones left at home.</p> <p><em><strong>The Everest Years</strong></em> reveals Bonington's love and appreciation for his ever-supportive wife Wendy, the loyal Sherpas, the companions sharing his mountain memories including <strong>Doug Scott, Dougal Haston, Peter Boardman, Joe Tasker</strong> and <strong>Mo Anthoine</strong>, and of course the glorious peaks of the <strong>Himalaya</strong> and <strong>Karakoram</strong> mountain ranges. Following <em><strong>I Chose to Climb</strong></em> and <em><strong>The Next Horizon</strong></em>, this final instalment of Bonington's autobiography will take you through a huge spectrum of brutally honest emotions and majestic landscapes.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Quest for Adventure Remarkable feats of exploration and adventure【電子書籍】[ Chris Bonington ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><em><strong>Quest for Adventure</strong></em> is a collection of stories written by <strong>Sir Chris Bonington</strong> looking at the adventurous impulse which has driven men and women to achieve the impossible in the face of Earth's elements: crossing its oceans, deserts and poles; canoeing its rivers; climbing its mountains, and descending into its caves.</p> <p>Bonington selects seventeen of the most thrilling expeditions and adventures of the mid-late twentieth century, uncovering the common thread that drives men and women to achieve the impossible. Following a new preface, he charts such outstanding achievements as <strong>Thor Heyerdahl</strong>'s <em>Kon-Tiki</em> voyage across the Pacific Ocean; <strong>Francis Chichester</strong>'s round-the-world tour in his boat <em>Gipsy Moth IV</em>; the race for the first non-stop circumnavigation of the globe under sail; and <em>Ice Bird</em>'s sail around Antarctica.</p> <p>Away from the ocean, the travels of one of the world's most outstanding desert explorers, <strong>Wilfred Thesiger</strong>, are detailed, journeying through what is menacingly called the Empty Quarter. Bonington returns to familiar ground as he writes about some exceptional mountain adventures, including the 1970 ascent of the <strong>South Face of Annapurna</strong>; <strong>Hillary</strong> and <strong>Tenzing</strong>'s first ascent of <strong>Everest</strong>; <strong>Reinhold and Gunther Messner</strong> on <strong>Nanga Parbat</strong>; <strong>Andy Cave</strong>'s triumph and tragedy on <strong>Changabang</strong>; and the <strong>Warren-Harding</strong>-led first ascent of The Nose of <strong>El Capitan</strong> in <strong>Yosemite</strong>. <strong>Wally Herbert</strong>'s team crossing of the Arctic Ocean and the equally gruelling <strong>Fuchs/Hillary</strong> crossing of Antarctica are written about in detail.</p> <p>More recent adventures include the race to make the first circumnavigation of the globe by balloon ? a high-stakes race with a high-profile cast, including <strong>Richard Branson</strong> and <strong>Steve Fossett</strong>. <em><strong>Quest for Adventure</strong></em> concludes with an account of the cave diving epic the <strong>Dead Man's Handshake</strong>, leaving the reader with a chill in their spine and an appreciation for the natural wonders below the Earth's surface.</p> <p>Bonington's eloquent writing on a subject in which he is a passionate authority makes for a highly engrossing read for adventurers and armchair explorers alike.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
