About this product

Product Information

The story of this nail-biting struggle for survival in the Peruvian Andes is a mountaineering classic. The book behind the BAFTA award-winning film. Winner of the NCR Award for non-fiction and the Boardman Tasker award. Touching the Void is the heart-stopping account of Joe Simpson's terrifying adventure in the Peruvian Andes. He and his climbing partner, Simon, reached the the summit of the remote Siula Grande in June 1995. A few days later, Simon staggered into Base Camp, exhausted and frost-bitten, with news that that Joe was dead. What happened to Joe, and how the pair dealt with the psychological traumas that resulted when Simon was forced into the appalling decision to cut the rope, makes not only an epic of survival but a compelling testament of friendship.

    The seller contacted me in advance to advise that dispatch would be slightly delayed. This information was much appreicated. The estimated delivery was sooner than anticipated and the book arrived in fine time and condition. As I am collecting this particular edition of John Steinbeck books I was pleased that the cover matched that advertised, because I'd ordered in the past from other sellers showing images of this edition, and upon arrival, they were different versions. Thank you.

    Compelling read

    Compelling true story and very well written. Not my usual genre but I couldn't put it down. If adventure/survival is your thing then this is a must read.

  • A story at it's best

    I watched this film, so I just had to buy the book, I found the book much more compelling than the film, a truly fascinating story.
