Everest that claimed five lives and left countless more—including Krakauer's—in guilt-ridden disarray. “A harrowing tale of the perils of high-altitude climbing, a story of bad luck and worse judgment and of heartbreaking heroism.”— People A Los Angeles Times Best Nonfiction Book of the Last 30 Years Reeling from the brain-altering effects of oxygen depletion, Jon Krakauer reached the summit of Mt. Everest in the early afternoon of May 10, 1996. He hadn’t slept in fifty-seven hours. As he turned to begin the perilous descent from 29,032 feet (the cruising altitude of an Airbus jetliner), some twenty other climbers were still pushing doggedly toward the top, unaware that a furious storm would soon engulf them from below. . . . This is the terrifying story of what happened that calamitous day at the top of the world, during what would be the deadliest season Everest climbers had ever seen. In this harrowing narrative, Krakauer takes the reader along with his ill-fated expedition, step by precarious step, from Kathmandu to the summit where—plagued by a combination of hubris, terrible judgment, and bad luck—they would fall prey to the mountain’s unpredictable violence. With more than three million copies in print, this extraordinary book is considered a paragon of the narrative nonfiction genre. Brilliantly written and supported by unimpeachable reporting, Into Thin Air will by turns thrill and horrify. ## Features - Random House Into Thin Air, Paperback by Jon Krakauer - 9780385494786 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,038 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1 in Mountaineering (Books) #1 in Sports Journalism #2 in Journalist Biographies | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 25,636 Reviews | ## Images ![Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mt.
