In this collection of his finest work from such magazines as \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOutside\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSmithsonian\u003c\/em\u003e, he explores the subject from the unique and memorable perspective of one who has battled peaks like K2, Denali, Everest, and, of course, the Eiger. Always with a keen eye, an open heart, and a hunger for the ultimate experience, he gives us unerring portraits of the mountaineering experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYet \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEiger Dreams\u003c\/em\u003e is more about people than about rock and ice—people with that odd, sometimes maniacal obsession with mountain summits that sets them apart from other men and women. Here we meet Adrian the Romanian, determined to be the first of his countrymen to solo Denali; John Gill, climber not of great mountains but of house-sized boulders so difficult to surmount that even demanding alpine climbs seem easy; and many more compelling and colorful characters. In the most intimate piece, “The Devils Thumb,” Krakauer recounts his own near-fatal, ultimately triumphant struggle with solo-madness as he scales Alaska's Devils Thumb. \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEiger Dreams\u003c\/em\u003e is stirring, vivid writing about one of the most compelling and dangerous of all human pursuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJon Krakauer\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of the best-selling \u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eInto the Wild\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUnder the Banner of Heaven\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eInto Thin \u003c\/i\u003eAir, and is the editor of the Modern Library Exploration series.
