Detailed Product Description
Germany, Rowholt Hamburg, 1952. 143 pp. In German. Softcover. Near Fine.
The classic novel about the most famous mountaineering drama in the Alps. Using reports, minutes and entries in his diary, Carl Haensel reconstructs the tragic events that occurred during the first ascent of the Matterhorn by the Englishman Edward Whymper. The bitter competition between him and the Italian mountain guide Carrel is described - one of the most exciting, but also most dramatic novels to date has been successfully filmed several times by and with Luis Trenker, most recently in 1938 under the title "Der Berg ruft".
