Hazard's Way - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Hazard's Way is the story of a young man's development and his struggles to cope with strict 19th century Edwardian family life, with conflicting attitudes toward the Boer War, and with the contradictory influences of the friends he makes in his life as a climber. It is a story of change, the inevitable conflicts between generations, and the young pushing the limits of impossible beyond those of their elders. The novel is a marvelous evocation of the climbing lifestyle at Wastdale Head in England's Lake District, and is set among the company of actual climbers from the period - Oppenheimer, Collie, the Abrahams, and Montague. It culminates in a crisis that all climbers will recognize: a crossroads of intuition and ego.
