Book “Vouloir toucher les Etoiles” (FR)

Description

⚠ This book is in French only ⚠

‘You only climb the mountain of life once. You have to know how to take a step to the side, live your dreams, not let yourself be imprisoned. You must never feel bigger than life. I tell my daughters every day that if you keep your feet on the ground, you can reach for the stars.

Mike Horn is an extreme adventurer known the world over for pushing back the limits of what is possible. He has descended the Amazon, followed the equator for 40,000 kilometres and circumnavigated the North Pole during the long polar night.
He has walked on ice, traversed the desert, descended rapids and made his way through the jungle.

All the way to this crazy challenge: climbing four 8,000 metres in a row in the Himalayas with three mountaineering friends. Without oxygen, without ropes, in the purest ‘alpine style’, by sheer force of will…

For the first time too, this conqueror of the impossible reveals himself. He tells us about his deepest motivations, his inspirations: his father who, at the age of eight, taught him to ‘look beyond the wall’; Cathy, his wife, his Southern Cross, who recently died of illness and whose spirit accompanies his every step.
