The trek would turn into an extraordinary adventure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOver the course of four years they ascended high into the Alps in winter, following the curve of the mountains from the Mediterranean to the Adriatic, immersing themselves in a strange white world made entirely of snow. In the bitter cold and overlooked by an empty sky, only the effort of moving forward, one difficult stride at a time, separated the days from one another. And as they trudged onwards, the never-ending white of the high Alps cancelled out all feelings - hope, fear, memory and regret.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat did he stand to gain by inflicting this ordeal on himself? This was no ordinary mountain trek: it was a search for communion with the magic substance of the White.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlso available as an audiobook.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Polity Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48258108260587,"sku":"EB_LI0716_B14-05_SIMS","price":38.1,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781509565528-1.jpg?v=1781685755","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9781509565528","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
