Kitab haqqında
'How much risk is worth taking for so beautiful a prize?'The Magician's Glass by award-winning writer
Ed Douglas is a collection of eight recent essays on some of the biggest stories and best-known personalities in the world of climbing.In the title essay, he writes about failure on
Annapurna III in 1981, one of the boldest attempts in Himalayan mountaineering on one of the most beautiful lines – a line that remains unclimbed to this day.Douglas writes about bitter controversies, like that surrounding
Ueli Steck's disputed solo ascent of of the south face of Annapurna, the fate of
Toni Egger on
Cerro Torre in 1959 – when
Cesare Maestri claimed the pair had made the first ascent, and the rise and fall of Slovenian ace
Tomaz Humar. There are profiles of two stars of the 1980s: the much-loved German
Kurt Albert, the father of the 'redpoint', and the enigmatic rock star
Patrick Edlinger, a national hero in his native France who lost his way.In Crazy Wisdom, Douglas offers fresh perspectives on the impact mountaineering has on local communities and the role climbers play in the developing world. The final essay explores the relationship between art and alpinism as a way of understanding why it is that people climb mountains.
