DESNIVEL TOCANDO EL VACÍO

Touching the Void, one of the absolute classics of mountain literature, also successfully adapted for the big screen, tells the chilling story of two young mountaineers during their climb to Siula Grande in the Andes. The story is real: everything Joe Simpson tells actually happened; however, the intensity of his account surpasses what most fiction writers would possibly dare to invent. Simpson's writing possesses all the power of the best narrative, and the result transcends the boundaries of so-called "mountain literature."

Touching the Void is a book about the human spirit and the vital forces that drive us. Accompanied by color photographs of the adventure, the story takes on a vividness that will leave more than a few readers breathless.
