Description
A book of adventure, wisdom and spiritual enlightenment. Touching My Father’s Soul recounts Tenzing’s son, Jamling Norgay’s treacherous climb to the world’s most forbidding summit on the 1996 IMAX climbing expedition, which collided with tragedy, as retold in Krakauer’s Into Thin Air. As the climb unfolds so too does Norgay’s inner journey. His desire to finally stand alongside his father’s soul on the summit of Everest is realised, as is an understanding of his family’s Sherpa history and a realisation of the power and significance of the Himalayas. Beautifully repackaged for the paperback edition, this classic will reach a wide audience of readers of both mountaineering and Buddhist literature.
