Impresionant, admirabil! Cartea se citeste cu sufletul la gura. Nims redefineste notiuni fundamentale ca incredere in sine, dificultate, vointa etc. Un discurs motivational convingator. Mai mult, lectura este continuata si completata de viata reala, in timp real, fiindca deja ii urmaresc actiunile, primesc informari si astfel pastrez legatura cu un Om care iti declanseaza si intretine dorinta de a fi mai bun.

Even though Nimsdai Purja was born in Nepal, he never saw the mountains from his country. Coming from a modest family from third world country, Nimsdai has failed multiple times before becoming a gurka soldier. Not letting his dream die, Purja finally became a super soldier in Great Britain, being able to fight for the Queen and being so proud about it. He was always left aside because of his skin colour, so that’s why Nimsdai had to train harder and much longer than the others.

After 28 years of life, Nims has fallen in love with mountains and climbing them. He had something special in him: he didn’t need so much time to acclimatise to the air(or not so much air) when being at a very high altitude. Leaving the safe side of the special forces from Britains’ army (the great money of the salary + the money after retiring), Nims became a full time climber. He’s dream of climbing all of the 14th mountains over 8000m has begun.

The book describes what climbing a mountain over 8000m means: money, politics, proper equipment, people you can trust in, fate, luck. From having no money to pay for one expedition, to getting those money, from recieving all the approvals to climb a mountain, to finding the right team and to trust the mountains, Purja has defeated everything and broke the world record for climbing all of the mountains higher than 8000m in 6 moths and 6 days. The lessons he gives in this book are to always push yourself, work hard for what you want, always try to help the others, love your family, worship mountains and be a little crazy.

A fost cu siguranță cea mai buna lectura de până acum. Mi-a plăcut felul în care Nims relatează întamplarile. În carte nu este vorba doar despre uluitoarea expediție, ci și despre viața acestuia și modul lui de gândire. Cartea de face sa visezi departe și este o lectură ușoară, dar care în același timp de motivează, îți dă putere. Cititorul are ocazia sa se pună în locul autorului și să trăiască odată cu el experiența cuceririi celor 14 vârfuri, și odată cu acestea, pe sine.

Recomand acesta carte oricui, fie că e pasionat sau nu de expediții la mare altitudine ��

Recomand aceasta carte ! Chiar o recomand cu caldura !

O carte care te tine cu sufletul la gura, descuperind impreuna cu autorul toate demersurile pentru o expeditie unica.
