Everest in the early afternoon of May 10, 1996. He hadn't slept in fifty-seven hours. As he turned to begin the perilous descent from 29,032 feet (the cruising altitude of an Airbus jetliner), some twenty other climbers were still pushing doggedly toward the top, unaware that a furious storm would soon engulf them from below. . . . \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is the terrifying story of what happened that calamitous day at the top of the world, during what would be the deadliest season Everest climbers had ever seen. In this harrowing narrative, Krakauer takes the reader along with his ill-fated expedition, step by precarious step, from Kathmandu to the summit where--plagued by a combination of hubris, terrible judgment, and bad luck--they would fall prey to the mountain's unpredictable violence. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith more than three million copies in print, this extraordinary book is considered a paragon of the narrative nonfiction genre. Brilliantly written and supported by unimpeachable reporting, \u003ci\u003eInto Thin Air\u003c\/i\u003e will by turns thrill and horrify.\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA bank of clouds was assembling on the not-so-distant horizon, but journalist-mountaineer Jon Krakauer, standing on the summit of Mt. Everest, saw nothing that \"suggested that a murderous storm was bearing down.\" He was wrong. The storm, which claimed five lives and left countless more--including Krakauer's--in guilt-ridden disarray, would also provide the impetus for Into Thin Air, Krakauer's epic account of the May 1996 disaster. \u003cbr\u003eBy writing Into Thin Air, Krakauer may have hoped to exorcise some of his own demons and lay to rest some of the painful questions that still surround the event. He takes great pains to provide a balanced picture of the people and events he witnessed and gives due credit to the tireless and dedicated Sherpas. He also avoids blasting easy targets such as Sandy Pittman, the wealthy socialite who brought an espresso maker along on the expedition. Krakauer's highly personal inquiry into the catastrophe provides a great deal of insight into what went wrong. But for Krakauer himself, further interviews and investigations only lead him to the conclusion that his perceived failures were directly responsible for a fellow climber's death. Clearly, Krakauer remains haunted by the disaster, and although he relates a number of incidents in which he acted selflessly and even heroically, he seems unable to view those instances objectively. In the end, despite his evenhanded and even generous assessment of others' actions, he reserves a full measure of vitriol for himself. \u003cbr\u003eThis updated trade paperback edition of Into Thin Air includes an extensive new postscript that sheds fascinating light on the acrimonious debate that flared between Krakauer and Everest guideAnatoli Boukreev in the wake of the tragedy. \"I have no doubt that Boukreev's intentions were good on summit day,\" writes Krakauer in the postscript, dated August 1999. \"What disturbs me, though, was Boukreev's refusal to acknowledge the possibility that he made even a single poor decision. Never did he indicate that perhaps it wasn't the best choice to climb without gas or go down ahead of his clients.\" As usual, Krakauer supports his points with dogged research and a good dose of humility. But rather than continue the heated discourse that has raged since Into Thin Air's denouncement of guide Boukreev, Krakauer's tone is conciliatory; he points most of his criticism at G. Weston De Walt, who coauthored The Climb, Boukreev's version of events. And in a touching conclusion, Krakauer recounts his last conversation with the late Boukreev, in which the two weathered climbers agreed to disagree about certain points. Krakauer had great hopes to patch things up with Boukreev, but the Russian later died in an avalanche on another Himalayan peak, Annapurna I. \u003cbr\u003eIn 1999, Krakauer received an Academy Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters--a prestigious prize intended \"to honor writers of exceptional accomplishment.\" According to the Academy's citation, \"Krakauer combines the tenacity and courage of the finest tradition of investigative journalism with the stylish subtlety and profound insight of the born writer. His account of an ascent of Mount Everest has led to a general reevaluation of climbing and of the commercialization of what was once a romantic, solitary sport; while his account of the life and death of Christopher McCandless, who died of starvation afterchallenging the Alaskan wilderness, delves even more deeply and disturbingly into the fascination of nature and the devastating effects of its lure on a young and curious mind.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJON KRAKAUER is the author of eight books and has received an Academy Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

While ambivalent about his WASP privilege--as a teenager he demanded that his name be removed from the New York \u003ci\u003eSocial Register\u003c\/i\u003e--he attended Yale and cut his teeth in postwar Paris, co-founding \u003ci\u003eThe Paris Review \u003c\/i\u003eas he worked undercover for the CIA. But then, after a rebellious stint as a Long Island fisherman, he escaped into a series of wild expeditions: floating through the Amazon to recover a prehistorical fossil; embedding with a tribe in Netherlands New Guinea; swimming with sharks off the coast of Australia. His novels, inspired by his travels, were unclassifiable meditations about Caymanian turtle hunters and frontier outlaws in the Florida Everglades. Meanwhile, his nonfiction became legendary: nature books like \u003ci\u003eWildlife in America\u003c\/i\u003e--\"key parts of the canon of emergent environmental writing,\" says Bill McKibben--as well as advocacy journalism supporting Cesar Chavez, Leonard Peltier, and Native American land claims. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUnderlying all Matthiessen's disparate pursuits was the same existential search--to find a cure for \"deep restlessness.\" This search was most profoundly articulated in \u003ci\u003eThe Snow Leopard\u003c\/i\u003e, his famous account of a 250-mile wildlife survey across the Himalayas. In \u003ci\u003eTrue Nature\u003c\/i\u003e, Lance Richardson reconstructs the full scope of a spiritual quest that ultimately led Matthiessen, even as he inflicted great pain on his family, to the highest ranks of Zen. Drawing on rich primary sources and hundreds of interviews, Richardson depicts Matthiessen's life with page-turning immediacy, while also illuminating how the writer's uncanny gifts enabled him to sense connections between ecological decline, racism, and labor exploitation--to express, eloquently and presciently, that \"in a damaged human habitat, all problems merge.\"\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLANCE RICHARDSON's first book, \u003ci\u003eHouse of Nutter\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003e The Rebel Tailor of Savile Row\u003c\/i\u003e, was a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Editors' Choice and named one of the notable titles of 2018 by \u003ci\u003eThe Sunday Times\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Mail on Sunday\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Esquire, \u003c\/i\u003e and the American Library Association.

Together, they would embark on an end-to-end traverse of the Grand Canyon--a journey that, McBride promised, would be \"a walk in the park.\" Against his better judgment, Fedarko agreed, unaware that the small cluster of experts who had actually completed the crossing billed it as \"the toughest hike in the world.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe ensuing ordeal, which lasted more than a year, revealed a place that was deeper, richer, and far more complex than anything the two men had imagined--and came within a hair's breadth of killing them both. They struggled to make their way through the all-but impenetrable reaches of the canyon's truest wilderness, a vertical labyrinth of thousand-foot cliffs and crumbling ledges where water is measured out by the teaspoon and every step is fraught with peril--and where, even today, there is still no trail spanning the length of the country's best-known and most iconic landmark. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlong the way, veteran long-distance hikers ushered them into secret pockets of enchantment, invisible to the millions of tourists gathered on the rim, that only a handful of humans have ever seen. Members of the canyon's eleven Native American tribes brought them face-to-face with layers of history that forced them to reconsider myths at the very center of our national parks--and exposed them to the threats of commercial tourism. Even Fedarko's dying father, who had first pointed him toward the chasm more than forty years earlier but had never set foot there himself, opened him to a new way of seeing the landscape. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd always, there was the great gorge itself: austere and unforgiving, yet suffused with magic, drenched in wonder, and redeemed by its own transcendent beauty.
