Detailed Product Description
Italy, 2009, 1st edition. 287 pp, many b/w and color photos. In Italian.
New large format hardcover with dust jacket.
This is a heavy, large format book. Extra postage will be requested for Media Mail, Priority Mail and International Mail.
Although Reinhold Messner writes in German, he also speaks Italian and English. This book has appeared only in Italian, and there is not, and probably never will be, a translation into any other language. This book is both a celebration of the photos by Sella on the Duke's expediitons, as well as the life of Luigi Amedeo himself (who wanted to marry a US Senator's daughter from West Virginia!)
Luigi
Amedeo
of Savoy
(1873-1933)
is a legendary figure
.
The
'
Prince
Explorer
'
developed
from an early age
a strong
aptitude for
adventure
and travel
,
starting to
climb and
to
go to sea.
At a time when
vast areas
of the world were
totally
unknown
and explore them
was not just
a privileged few
, but
very difficult
undertaking
,
the limit
of human possibilities
, he
is among the
protagonists
of mountaineering
Europe and between the
precursors
of the challenges
extreme
peaks
outside Europe.
After
major
climbs
in the Alps
,
he made the first ascent of Mount
St. Elias
in Alaska
in 1897
,
conquered
all
the summits
of the
Ruwenzori
in Africa
in 1906
and led
an expedition to
K2 in the the Karakorum
in 1909,
the second highest mountain
in the world.
T
he Duke
,
accompanied
as always
by his
faithful
guides
in Valle d'Aosta
,
wa
s forced
to give up.
However,
still unable
to get
an extraordinary result
, setting
the record
on
Chogolisa
altitude
of
7498
meters
.
The book
tells the
true pioneer
of this business
,
with not only
climbing
but also with
a historic
North Pole expedition
in
1899-1900
, two
circumnavigations
of the globe
by ship
and
as well as his
discovery
a few years
before he died of
sources
of
the
Webi
Shabelle river
in Ethiopia
.
