White loneliness. My long way to Nanga Parbat. Messner R.

June 1970. Rainhold Messner goes to his first eight-thousandth-and climbs to the top of Nanga Parabet in a deuce with his younger brother. During a desperate descent, Gunter dies in an avalanche. This event for many years will determine the life of Rainhold Messner, a person who, from the very beginning, was striking to push the boundaries of the possible. The questions that have been chasing the author for a long time: what motives moved to him when he violated the plan, dictated by the head of the expedition, did he not sacrifice his brother for his own ambitions, or the failure - that he was destined for the leader of the leader? Years later, we can, after reading this book, find out how the climber himself looks at the events of those years.
