Winter 8000

Of all the games mountaineers play, the hardest - and cruellest - is climbing the fourteen peaks over 8,000 metres in winter. Award-winning author Bernadette McDonald tells how Poland's ice warriors made winter their own, perfecting what they dubbed 'the art of suffering'. Winter 8000 is the story of true adventure at its most demanding.

Dintre toate jocurile pe care le joaca alpinistii, cel mai greu - si cel mai crud - urca pe cele paisprezece varfuri de peste 8.000 de metri iarna. Autorul premiat Bernadette McDonald povesteste cum razboinicii polonezi pe gheata si-au facut iarna propria lor, perfectionand ceea ce au numit „arta suferintei”.
