DIE WEISSE EINSAMKEIT: MEIN LANGER WEG ZUM NANGA PARBAT. [THE WHITE SOLITUDE: MY LENGTHY JOURNEY ON NANGA PARBAT]. SIGNED by Reinhold Messner.
Munchen, 2003, 1st edition. 351 pp, many photos. In German. Nanga Parbat has had perhaps the most tragic history of any 8000 meter peak, with many deaths of climbers and porters, especially in the 1930's. Messner, who has climbed Nanga Parbat twice, examines the long history of this peak. This is a different book from his recent book The Naked Mountain. DJ, New.
