Omschrijving
The unforgettable survival story of the year -- the astonishing, day-by-day account of Aron Ralston's terrible accident, self-amputation, rescue and recovery.
'As a tale of survival in isolation, this really is one for the books'
'I was not in any way prepared for the quality of writing, breadth of experience, life philosophy, or ferocity of spirit that I encountered [here] . . . Ralston is seriously hardcore . . . [his] writing is surprisingly fluid; it is more beautiful than Jon Krakauer’s'
‘A moving account of strength in the face of adversity . . . truly thrilling’
'A riveting drama . . . Could you cut off your own arm if it were the only way to save yourself? Aron Ralston made headlines by doing just that'
Aron Ralston, a native of the Midwest, retired from a career as a mechanical engineer at age twenty-six before moving to Aspen, Colorado. Since his accident, he has completed his unprecedented project to climb the fifty-nine Colorado peaks of more than 14,000 feet, alone, in winter. His first book, Between a Rock and a Hard Place, was a New York Times bestseller and was adapted into the major motion picture 127 Hours by Danny Boyle. Today, as a father of an infant daughter and four-year-old son, Aron lives in Boulder, Colorado. He continues to travel the world for both adventure and to share his story.
