Title : The Wind Horse - Patrick Segal - book

Summary :

The Himalayas are the expedition to Ama Dablam, in 1979, by the Briançon guides, in which P. Segal participated in order to test a rescue boat. In fact, it is above all, for him, a mystical experience, a way to reach an inner summit, symbolized by the wind horse. The wind horse is a prayer flag that flies at the entrance to Himalayan villages. But it is also, for the author, the horse of escape, the one that allows one to go further, to cross the Mountain. It will take us to Thailand, in 1981, where Patrick Segal strives to free from prison a young disabled man accused of heroin trafficking. There, we find the author's incessant fight against all the prisons where man is locked up. This search for somewhere else, for a world where one can breathe better, where one gets drunk on beauty (as on Ama Dablam) is the foundation of the story. But let's not be mistaken: this Wind Horse is not a spiritual essay, it is a book of action, a book of adventures.
