Touching My Father's Soul Zusammenfassung

Touching My Father's Soul: In the Footsteps of Tenzing Norgay Jamling Tenzing Norgay

A book of wisdom and spiritual enlightenment, as much as adventure, To uching My Father's Soul recounts Tenzing's son, Jamling Norgay's, trea cherous climb to the world's most forbidding summit on the 1996 IMAX c limbing expedition, which collided with tragedy, as retold in Karkenauer's Into Thin Air. As the climb unfolds so too does Norgay's inner journey. His desire to finally stand alongside his father's soul on the summit of Everest is realised, but so too is an understanding of his family's Sherpa history and a realisation of the power and significance of the Himalayas. A dramatic and beautifully written route to a closer understanding of the spiritual significance of the Himalayas and the ancient Sherpa dynasties. At heart, a climb to the soul of Tibstand Buddhism.

Touching My Father's Soul Bewertungen

Tenzing Norgay, who conquered Everest in 1953 with Sir Edmund Hillary, emotionally dismayed his son by saying he climbed the mountain "so that you wouldn't have to". Yet following in his father's footsteps was to be Jamling's way of gaining a rounded picture of his distant and now departed parent, even though a Buddhist monk's divination did not bode well for the 1996 Everest climbing season. Encounters with terrible tragedy but also triumph were in store for the Imax filming expedition of which he was a crucial part. Working with a co-author, Broughton Coburn, he reveals much about the Sherpa way of life and death, the climbing history of Everest, the mountain's wrath and the extraordinary manner in which he reaches reconciliation with his dead father atop the summit. Both as spiritual quest and physical challenge, this is Everest from a very different Sherpa perspective and makes remarkable and rewarding reading.
