SUMMARY:SIWA Monthly Book Club: “INTO THIN AIR” by John Krakauer
DESCRIPTION:As the great publishing house Penguin Random House says\, “Into Thin Air” is the epic account of the storm on the summit of Mt. Everest that claimed five lives and left countless more—including Krakauer’s—in guilt-ridden disarray.”   \n“A harrowing tale of the perils of high-altitude climbing\, a story of bad luck and worse judgment and of heartbreaking heroism.” —PEOPLE \nThe author\, Jon Krakauer tells his and fellow climbers’ story about the 1996 Mount Everest disaster\, in which eight climbers were killed and several others were stranded by a storm. He takes the reader on a journey that describes the events leading up to participating in the commercial expedition and commercialization of the highest mountain on our planet. Him being there on the mountain provides a great deal of insight into what went wrong. \nIn 1999\, Krakauer received an Academy Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters “to honor writers of exceptional accomplishment.”  According to the Academy “Krakauer combines the tenacity and courage of the finest tradition of investigative journalism with the stylish subtlety and profound insight of the born writer.  His account of an ascent of Mount Everest has led to a general reevaluation of climbing and of the commercialization of what was once a romantic\, solitary sport; while his account of the life and death of Christopher McCandless (“Into The Wild”)\, who died of starvation after challenging the Alaskan wilderness\, delves even more deeply and disturbingly into the fascination of nature and the devastating effects of its lure on a young and curious mind.” \nRead this gripping story for our February Book Club  \n  \nEvent date & time: 2023.02.10 10:30 – 12:00 \n  \nEvent host: Sejung Jang\, bookclub@siwakorea.com \n  \nVenue / meeting spot: Paris Croissant: Hannam-dong\, 서울 용산구 독서당로 78 (한남동) 청화빌딩 \nNaver map: http://naver.me/xaP7LmuL  \n  \nNr of participants: unlimited \n  \nTicket price: free \n  \nAdditional Information: BC events are exclusively for SIWA members.  \n  \nIf you want to plan ahead\, next month’s book is “ALMOND” by Won-Pyung Sohn.
