Description

Vaincre, au plein cœur de l'hiver et sans oxygène, le Nanga Parbat, cette montagne tueuse, immense pyramide de gneiss cuirassée de glace qui culmine au Pakistan à 8 125 mètres, c'est l'exploit qu'ont réalisé le 25 janvier 2018 Élisabeth Revol et son compagnon de cordée Tomasz Mackiewicz. Mais l'euphorie de la victoire sera de courte durée. À peine au sommet, l'aventure vire au cauchemar : Tomek est frappé de cécité. Comment dès lors espérer survivre, réchapper de cette « zone de la mort », où l'oxygène se fait si rare que l'on peine à mettre un pied devant l'autre, où le froid et le vent sont si extrêmes que le gel menace à tout instant ? Dans ce récit captivant, Élisabeth Revol met ses propres mots sur cette tragédie et l'extraordinaire opération de sauvetage dont le monde entier s'est fait l'écho. Elle affronte ses souvenirs, sa terreur, sa douleur immense, le déchirement d'avoir survécu, seule, en un hommage poignant à son ami Tomek.
