May 2006. Philippe Martinez embarks on a challenge that is fatal one out of every three times: climbing Mount Everest. But he is not going for the feat. His goal is to celebrate a Christian service on the Roof of the World and bury a Bible there. This gripping book skillfully blends athletic achievement, suspense, and an inner adventure.
From camps to bivouacs under the stars, Philippe Martinez attempts to answer the questions we ask ourselves about the meaning of life. It is also a book about solitude, where, in inhumane conditions, the most human God begins to speak to the heart. By the end of the story, there is no doubt that you will be able to say you have climbed Everest. And who knows, you might even feel the urge to move mountains...
