Everest, saw nothing that “suggested that a murderous storm was bearing down.” He was wrong.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eInto Thin Air\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, Krakauer takes great pains to provide a balanced picture of the people and events he witnessed and gives due credit to the tireless and dedicated Sherpas. He also avoids blasting easy targets such as Sandy Pittman, the wealthy socialite who brought an espresso maker along on the expedition. Krakauer's highly personal inquiry into the catastrophe provides a great deal of insight into what went wrong. But for Krakauer himself, further interviews and investigations only lead him to the conclusion that his perceived failures were directly responsible for a fellow climber's death.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis updated trade paperback edition includes an extensive new postscript that sheds fascinating light on the acrimonious debate that flared between Krakauer and Everest guide Anatoli Boukreev in the wake of the tragedy. As usual, Krakauer supports his points with dogged research and a good dose of humility. But rather than continue the heated discourse that has raged since \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eInto Thin Air\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e's denouncement of guide Boukreev, Krakauer's tone is conciliatory. In a touching conclusion, Krakauer recounts his last conversation with the late Boukreev, in which the two weathered climbers agreed to disagree about certain points.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Lovers BD","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44577566490666,"sku":null,"price":360.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44577566523434,"sku":null,"price":490.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true},{"title":"eBook","offer_id":44577566556202,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/5126\/8394\/files\/71wGAAk99kL._SL1500.jpg?v=1784056039","url":"https:\/\/bookycafebd.shop\/products\/into-thin-air-a-personal-account-of-the-mt-everest-disaster-by-jon-krakauer","provider":"BookYcafe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
