About this title

Synopsis

This autobiography interweaves the stories of the famous father and son adventurers, their separate impressions of the lives they have lived with one another and apart, and their pioneering expeditions to the top of the world

Reviews

Mountaineering adventures and achievements are emphasized in these autobiographies of father and son, rather than activities disclosing the private person. This is most noticeable in the son's portions of the book; Sir Edmund reveals more of himself, especially in the pages on the loss of his wife and younger daughter in a plane crash. Published in England as Two Generations (1984), both life stories end with Peter Hillary's attempt on Lhotse in 1981. A secondary attraction for the reader, aside from the glamour of Himalayan activities, is the different ways father and son see incidents experienced together. Paula M. Strain, M.L.S., Rockville, Md.
