A first edition, first printing of Falling by Colin Thubron, published by Heinemann, London in 1989. A near fine book signed, inscribed and dated in black ink to the title page, light foxing to the top edge of text block. In a near fine unclipped wrapper with fading to the spine, pushing to head of the spine and light internal foxing. Falling by Colin Thubron explores humanity's fascination with risk through journeys into extreme sports such as free climbing, hang gliding, skydiving and high-altitude mountaineering. Blending travel writing, philosophy and memoir, Thubron examines fear, transcendence and the desire to test physical and spiritual limits. The book is less about adrenaline than meaning, asking why people seek moments where control dissolves and selfhood briefly disappears. It reflects on modern restlessness, mortality and the seduction of the edge.
