*Mal de altura* se ha convertido en una lectura obligada para todo amante de la literatura de montaña, de aventura o de viajes. Un best seller internacional tanto por la calidad de la historia como por el acierto con el que su autor, Jon Krakauer, nos narra lo sucedido. Qué más se puede decir de una tragedia que conmocionó el mundo de la montaña incluso transcendiéndolo… quizá sólo que merece la pena empaparse de la intensidad de las palabras y el estilo gráfico del autor que consiguen atrapar al lector y nos llevan en este viaje literario hasta el corazón mismo de lo inevitable. *Mal de altura* se lee como una buena novela, pero no es ficción. Jon Krakauer partió hacia el Himalaya en 1996 para escribir un reportaje sobre la creciente explotación comercial del Everest. Su intención era analizar los motivos de que tanta gente esté dispuesta a someterse a riesgos antes reservados a alpinistas profesionales. Tras coronar la cima más alta de la Tierra, Krakauer comenzó el peligroso descenso, pero no todos lo consiguieron; hubo muertes, hubo heridos y mucha controversia. Esta obra suscitó tanta polémica que Krakauer se vio obligado a escribir un post scriptum de réplica, incluido en esta edición. El tiempo se detiene mientras Krakauer perfila y relata conmovedoramente lo sucedido.
