Title : In Search of My Father's Soul - Jmaling Tenzing Norgay - book
Summary :
And suddenly I saw my father! He was right behind me. He had taken off his oxygen mask and pushed up his glasses. "We both realized our dream," I told him. "You didn't have to come all this way to talk to me, Jamling," I heard him say. Maybe. But I thought it was worth doing... " J. T. N. On May 29, 1953, Tenzing Norgay, alongside Sir Edmund Hillary, became the first man to reach the summit of Everest. This feat earned him immense fame among his people, the Sherpas, who lived at the foot of Chomolungma. After his death, his son Jamling, who had always dreamed of tackling the most legendary of peaks, was asked to become the guide of a team of mountaineers. A film was to be shot in Imax format. The mission entrusted to the young man: to lead the director and cameramen to the "roof of the world." And thus repeat his father's feat. But the omens were not favorable. And the roped party was soon confronted with dramatic circumstances: the most terrible of hurricanes was approaching... In Search of My Father's Soul tells the story of an extraordinary adventure, that of an ascent perilous, at the same time as it traces the spiritual journey of a man determined to reconnect with his roots, those of the Sherpa people.
