A harrowing triumph on the world's deadliest mountain

In Annapurna: First Conquest of an 8000-Meter Peak, Maurice Herzog recounts the epic 1950 French expedition that achieved the impossible - reaching the summit of the unforgiving Annapurna, the first ever ascent of an 8,000-meter peak with a descent.

Herzog, the expedition leader, takes you through the meticulous planning, the exhilarating climb, and the nightmarish descent that pushed the climbers to their physical and mental limits. The book doesn't shy away from the brutal realities of high-altitude climbing. You'll experience the breathtaking beauty of the Himalayas alongside the dangers of frostbite, snow blindness, and the ever-present threat of avalanches.
