Synopsis
- Reveals the long view from an icon who, with age, has added wisdom to his list of accomplishments - Messner climbing firsts: the world's fourteen peaks taller than 8000 meters; Everest solo; Everest without supplemental oxygen Reinhold Messner: My Life at the Limit is a conversation between Messner and interviewer Thomas Hüetlin, an award-winning German journalist. It reveals a more thoughtful and conversational Messner, covering not only the highlights of Messner's climbing career, but also his treks across Tibet, the Gobi, and Antarctica; his five-year-stint as a member of the European Parliament; his encounter with and study of the yeti; his thoughts on traditional male/female roles; and much more. Readers learn about Messner's childhood, his thoughts about eating ice cream with girls (against), politics (mostly liberal), and his technique for killing chickens (sharp scissors). Messner is known as one of history's greatest Himalayan mountaineers, a man who pushed back the frontiers of the possible for a whole generation of climbers. While the interest in My Life at the Limit is that it exposes much more of the man than his climbing career, that career is still utterly remarkable----and Mountaineers Books is proud to present this book, which is core to our mission, to audiences across North America., * Reveals the long view from an icon who, with age, has added wisdom to his list of accomplishments * Messner climbing firsts: the world's fourteen peaks taller than 8000 meters; Everest solo; Everest without supplemental oxygen Reinhold Messner: My Life at the Limit is a conversation between Messner and interviewer Thomas Hüetlin, an award-winning German journalist.

- b***t (6)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseGreat condition and great read!
- 1***2 (3)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI’m very satisfied with my purchase. Although it did arrive a few days late, it was definitely worth $18 for a densely packed, 1000 paged textbook with lots and lots of questions to reinforce your understanding. In terms of the seller and the condition of the book, the seller was very truthful in their description, and marked the book as “acceptable”. I’ve only explored a fraction of the book, and as far as I’m concerned, the majority is “good”. I’m very happy, it looks great, great quality.
- b***a (1069)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseSorry to have to return the book, but the listing appeared as if the 5 vol set of books was listed. I only received vol. 1. Requested a refund and seller sent return slip immediately and issued a complete refund. I would feel comfortable buying from this seller again.
- r***7 (4258)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseBook that was received had loose and missing pages and fell short of the described condition. Seller responded quickly to this concern and the suggested resolution was much better than hoped for. This was clearly an honest mistake and I highly recommend this seller as honest and professional. A++ seller!
