Description
My Vertical World and Other Writings is an intense and authentic collection by Jerzy Kukuczka, the second climber in history to summit all 14 eight-thousanders between 1979 and 1987. He narrates in the first person with direct and visceral prose about his bold ascents, adverse economic conditions, challenges with the Himalayas, and the inner struggle that fueled each expedition. Edited by Luca Calvi and Mario Corradini, his voice emerges between the lines as a symbol of 'clean and loyal' climbing, characterized by respect for the mountain and the pursuit of personal limits, culminating in the tragic, heroic episode on Lhotse, making the reading a vertical experience that combines emotion, reflection, and the irresistible allure of those who climb 'because it exists.'
