About the Book

In a terrifying moment during a solo climb in eastern Tibet, renowned mountaineer Reinhold Messner confronted a large unidentifiable creature that moved upright with astonishing agility. Convinced that he had found living proof of a legend, Messner began a quest to the remote monasteries and isolated villages of Nepal, Bhutan, India, and Tibet, seeking an answer to a mystery that has haunted the imagination for generations.

About the Author :
In addition to his world-famous exploits in the Himalayas--including the first solo ascent of Mount Everest--Reinhold Messner""has crossed Anarctica and Greenland on foot. He is the author of more than thirty books, including "Everest, The Crystal Horizon, Free Spirit," and, most recently, "The Second Death of George Mallory "(also available from St. Martin's Press). He lives in a castle in the Italian Alps.

Review :
"Traveling to mountainous regious accessible only to someone prossessing his legendary mountaineering and survival skills, Reinhold Messner's quest for the elusive yeti takes us to that most intriguing and inaccesible of realms--she shadow borderland where myth encounters raw geography." --Caroline Alexander, author of "The Endurance" "Messner's command of yeti tales is impressive...Viewed through his seen-it-all-eyes, the influence of Chinese occupation in Tibet is freshly devastating." --"The New York Times" "Perhaps most compelling is Messner's love of Tibet, his fears for it under Chinese rule and his concern that rampant deforestation may kill the animal's habitat, even if it cannot kill the myth." --"The Los Angeles Times" "An engaging blend of travelogue and cryptozoological inquiry, this book will make a great campfire read." -"-Publishers Weekly"
