Publisher's Notes
There is perhaps no modern adventurer more important than Sir Edmund Hillary, the first man to summit Everest--and set off a chain-reaction frenzy for climbing the world's largest peak. In this candid, witty, and vastly entertaining autobiography, Hillary discusses the brave journeys that led to knighthood and elder-statesmanship, including Everest, the South Pole, the Ganges, and the Himalayas.
