London England: The Reprint Society. Good/Poor. 1955. Reprint. Cloth. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall Hardback Translated from the German by Richard Graves. Introduction by Peter Fleming. On this expedition to Nanga Parbat I succumbed to the magic of the Himalayas. The beauty of these gigantic mountains, the immensity of the lands on which they look down, the strangeness of the people of India - all these worked on my mind like a spell. Since then many years have passed, but I have never been able to cut loose from Asia. How all this came about, and what it led to, I shall try to describe in this book, and as I have no experience as an author I shall content myself with the unadorned facts book very good. Illustrated.some wear and tear and piece of spine missing from D/J (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.) .
