Product Description

Some people have dreams that are so magnificent that if they were to achieve them, their place in history would be guaranteed. But what if one man had such a dream...and once he'd fulfilled it, there was no proof that he had achieved his ambition? This is the story of such a man: George Mallory. He once told an American reporter that he wanted to climb Mt. Everest 'because it's there. ' On his third attempt in 1924, at age thirty-seven, he was last seen six hundred feet from the top. His body was found in 1999. And it still remains a mystery whether he ever reached the summit

5.0étoiles sur 5 Great Historical Book, Avril 12 2009
Par MacFly (Regina, Saskatchewan) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Paths of Glory (Hardcover)
In Paths to Glory, Jeffrey Archer tells the story of George Mallory, the first man who may have made it to the top of Mount Everest. This fictional telling of this incredible man and story grabs the reader right from the beginning and I found myself unable to put it down, despite knowing the end of the story in advance. In typical Archer style, the story flowed seamlessly and you found yourself wanting Mallory to make it to the summit. With the information learned with the discovery of Mallory's body in 1999, Archer takes the approach that Mallory did make it to the top of the mountain before falling on his descent. Archer follows history closely and brings this man who deserves to be remembered alive again.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Entertaining, Juil 4 2009
Par Toni Osborne "The Way I See It" (Montreal, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Paths of Glory (Hardcover)
This tale supports the theory that mountain climber George Leigh Mallory may have been the first man to reach the summit of Mount Everest during his second expedition in 1924.

Written with vivid imagination, Mr Archer relates the life and some of the events surrounding this historical man. From Mallory's infancy, up to his dark experiences in the trenches of the First World War and on to those two famous expeditions which ultimately brought him to the Himalayas.

The story is very dramatic but we won't find any twists of faith as the outcome has left many unanswered questions from the start. When Mr Mallory's body was found in 1999 some facts where discovered that opened many new scenarios. The whereabouts of his climbing partner Mr Alexander Irvine is still an unsolved mystery.

This is not a conventional biography; it reads more like a movie script, broadly covering the facts, simplifying and embroidering events. It ends with a moving memorial service and a post 1924 update of family and followers.

I enjoyed "Paths of Glory" for its simplicity and its entertainment. It is a great story one hard to put down. For those wanting a more precise account of these two heroes, there are many other resources.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Paths of Glory is glorious, Jui 24 2009

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Paths of Glory (Hardcover)
Jeffrey Archer knows how to weave a story. I really enjoyed this book, so much so that I bought my Mom a copy as I knew she would love it. Mr. Archer makes you want to meet the characters in his books, I was moved to tears at the end. There is no murders, sex or shootings, just a darn good tale told by a very good storyteller.
