Summary: Commitment
Comment: Sir Edmund Hillary & the People of Everest is a marvelous book about an extraordinary man. Ms. Ramsay's text tells the compelling story of Sir Edmund's courage as an explorer and of his commitment as a great humanitarian.
The photographs, by Anne Keiser, depict the beauty and remoteness of the Everest region as well as the special charm of the Sherpa people.
The book celebrates Hillary and Tenzing Norgay's ascent of Everet in 1953. An incredible feat for any time, and is all the more remarkable for the lack of equipment today's generation of climbers take for granted.
With the conquest of Everest began Hillary's lifelong devotion to the Sherpa people, a commitment that has guided his life. The reader has no doubt as to the mutual appreciation of benefactor and beneficiaries. His generosity truly transformed the Sherpa community. His sense of purpose is an inspiration. It is the kind of inspiration required in today'w world, where human need is so apparent.
The text is enhanced by wonderfully rich personal interviews.
