Monika Witkowska
Niniejsza książka to relacja z wyprawy autorki na znajdujący się w Himalajach ośmiotysiecznik Manaslu (8156 m n.p.m.), pod względem wysokości ósmą górę świata. Podobnie jak inne książki Moniki, nie jest to typowa relacja ze wspinaczki, uzupełnia ją zbiór różnego typu ciekawostek, anegdot i interesujących historii dotyczących zarówno himalaizmu, jak i przyrody czy życia Nepalczyków. W TRAKCIE LEKTURY DOWIEMY SIĘ: dlaczego Manaslu nazywane jest Górą Ducha; jak wyglądały pierwsze polskie wyprawy na Manaslu (opowieści K. Wielickiego i R. Gajewskiego); co sprawia, że Manaslu to góra o dość wysokim współczynniku śmiertelnych wypadków; dlaczego wspinacze kojarzą Manaslu z samogonem; czy sępy sępią i jak wygladą lokalna tarantula; o czym opowiadają nepalskie bajki; dlaczego Manaslu to Góra Kobiet; jaki sprzęt warto zabrać na wyprawę; jak zorganizować sobie, jeśli nie wspinaczkę na szczyt, to przynajmniej himalajski treking. JEDNO JEST PEWNE - TO KSIĄŻKA DLA WSZYSTKICH, KTÓRZY KOCHAJĄ GÓRY!
