Details

about the book

A book of adventure, wisdom and spiritual enlightenment. Touching My Father's Soul recounts Tenzing's son, Jamling Norgay's treacherous climb to the world's most forbidding summit. As retold in Krakauer's Into Thin Air, the 1996 IMAX climbing expedition collided with tragedy. As the climb unfolds so too does Norgay's inner journey. His desire to finally stand alongside his father's soul on the summit of Everest is realised, as is an understanding of his family's Sherpa history and a realisation of the power and significance of the Himalayas. Beautifully repackaged for the paperback edition, this is a classic.

About Author
Jamling Tenzing Norgay

Jamling Tenzing Norgay is the son of famed mountaineer Tenzing Norgay, who climbed Everest in 1953 with Sir Edmund Hillary. Jamling is also the star of the IMAX film Everest, and lives in Nepal. Broughton Coburn is the author of the National Geographic Society book Everest: Mountain Without Mercy. Coburn has lived in Nepal for 25 years and has a deep knowledge of Himalayan culture and Tibetan Buddhism.

Book Review

Tenzing Norgay, who conquered Everest in 1953 with Sir Edmund Hillary, emotionally dismayed his son by saying he climbed the mountain "so that you wouldn't have to". Yet following in his father's footsteps was to be Jamling's way of gaining a rounded picture of his distant and now departed parent, even though a Buddhist monk's divination did not bode well for the 1996 Everest climbing season. Encounters with terrible tragedy but also triumph were in store for the Imax filming expedition of which he was a crucial part. Working with a co-author, Broughton Coburn, he reveals much about the Sherpa way of life and death, the climbing history of Everest, the mountain's wrath and the extraordinary manner in which he reaches reconciliation with his dead father atop the summit. Both as spiritual quest and physical challenge, this is Everest from a very different Sherpa perspective and makes remarkable and rewarding reading.
