A Sherpa Man Finds his Spiritual and Family Roots
This book was absorbing emotionally and stimulating intellectually. It is the only book about the 1996 Mount Everest disaster written by a Sherpa, the indigenous people who work as porters and guides for commercial expeditions. I have read about five of the books written after the disaster, and wondered about the Sherpa point of view as there was surprisingly little mention of them. The other ...

Sensitive and Informative
I resonated to this book. Jamling Tenzing Norgay is a son of the famous Sherpa climber Tenzing Norgay, who together with Sir Edmund Hillary became, in 1953, the first men to reach the summit of Everest. Some of you may have read Jon Krakauer's book "Into Thin Air", about the ill-fated Spring 1996 climbing season on Everest. Jamling follows in his father's footsteps and finds himself high ...

Robert Burleigh
Atheneum
, 2006
Growing up at the foot of Mount Everest, a Sherpa boy named Tenzing Norgay dreamed about one day being the first to climb the giant in his backyard. For years he practiced, carrying loads of rocks in his backpack to grow stronger, prowling the mountain's lower levels; later, carrying loads of equipment for other adventurers, but always, always, wanting to climb himself. But his dream never seemed possible until he met Edmund Hillary, a New ...

A unique sherpa's view on Everest expedition
This book written by a grandson of Tenzing Norgay, the most renown Sherpa, and his wife living in Sydney is very unique, as all other previously published books on Everest expeditions or anthropology of Sherpas were written by so-called "non-Sherpa" mountaineers born and grown-up outside of Himalaya region. This book tells us a fascinating "insider's" story about the development of sherpas' ...

Good read
My son, who is 8, is obsessed with reference guides and natural history. He also likes human stories behind history. He loved this book. I definitely recommend it for a child who wants to know more about Everest. Shipping was quick, which is great when you have a son who keeps saying, "When will my book be here?"
