My own long experience of African hunting told me at once that every word in this thrilling narrative was absolutely true. Nay more: I knew that the author had told his story in a most modest manner, laying but little stress on the dangers he had run when sitting up at nights to try and compass the death of the terrible man-eaters, especially on that one occasion when whilst watching from a very light scaffolding, supported only by four rickety poles, he was himself stalked by one of the dread beasts.

A 44 anni e con 44 spedizioni alle spalle, Simone Moro - nel mezzo della sua straordinaria carriera alpinistica - ha sentito l'esigenza di raccontarsi e soprattutto di mettere a fuoco il senso di quello che lui definisce il suo sogno "quasi impossibile": la scelta di affrontare le massime vette del pianeta nella stagione più ostile, l'inverno.

Per la prima volta nella storia della letteratura di montagna, questo libro è stato scritto quasi interamente durante l'ascensione fino a oltre ottomila metri del Nanga Parbat, che Simone ha intrapreso alla fine del dicembre 2011.

Peaks and Lamas is one of the classic early 20th-century accounts of travelling in the Himalayas on the borders of Tibet. It describes two journeys in the 1930s, one physically active and one more of spiritual investigation. It starts as the title suggests, as a mountaineering adventure, when a group of English climbers set out to climb unconquered peaks in the Himalayas. The audiobook ends with a warning of the deleterious effect of Western culture on traditional art and values and an idealistic polemic on education.

Otters hold an almost unique place in the animal kingdom of the British Isles, being one of the very few creatures that give birth once every two years. They are the most secretive yet also the most popular mammals - they are found in every county but are so rarely seen that they have been raised to mythical status. When Simon Cooper bought an abandoned water mill that straddles a small chalkstream in Southern England, little did he know that he would come to share the mill with a family of wild otters.

"Nel corso della mia vita ho incontrato una o due persone che comprendessero l'arte del camminare, che avessero il genio - così si dice - del vagabondare." Dario Penne, storica voce di Anthony Hopkins e Michael Caine, ci accompagna con la sua lettura nei boschi, nelle valli, nelle paludi, ma soprattutto nel pensiero folgorante e rivoluzionario di Henry David Thoreau.

On 13 October 1972, the members of a top Uruguayan rugby team were flying over the Andes to play in Chile. Their plane crashed into a mountain and was stranded 11,000 feet up on an inhospitable glacier. Many died instantly in the crash, including the person sitting next to Nando, but others survived. They had almost no food or suitable equipment to withstand temperatures as low as -35C, and had to eat the bodies of their dead team-mates to survive.

Hangdog Days vividly chronicles the era when rock climbing exploded in popularity, attracting a new generation of talented climbers eager to reach new heights via harder routes and faster ascents. This contentious, often entertaining period gave rise to sport climbing, climbing gyms, and competitive climbing-indelibly transforming the sport. Jeff Smoot was one of those brash young climbers, and here he traces the development of traditional climbing "rules," enforced first through peer pressure, then later through intimidation and sabotage.
