Altitude sickness reads like a good novel, but it is not fiction. Jon Krakauer set out for the Himalayas in 1996 to write a report on the increasing commercial exploitation of Everest. His intention was to analyze the reasons why so many people are willing to take risks previously reserved for professional mountaineers.
After crowning the highest peak on Earth, Krakauer began the dangerous descent, but not all succeeded; there were deaths, there were injuries and much controversy. This work aroused so much controversy that Krakauer was forced to write a replica postscript, included in this issue. Time stands still as Krakauer outlines and poignantly recounts what happened.
