«Tunn luft» is Jon Krakauer's non-fiction chronicle of the Everest tragedy, published by Modernista in paperback (334 pages, in Swedish).
Journalist and mountaineer Jon Krakauer recounts in the first person the May 1996 Everest expedition: after reaching the summit, a devastating storm catches the group, causes the deaths of five climbers, and plunges the survivors into shock, guilt, and fear. A chronicle of high-altitude mountaineering and the tragedy that marked the author.
Swedish version of «Into Thin Air» (1997), translated by Jan Järnebrand. The original work was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and winner of the ALA Alex Award.
For those who enjoy narrative non-fiction, mountaineering, and true survival stories in extreme conditions.
