I Falliti e altri scritti

In 1972 Motti is a successful mountaineer. Climb after climb, he discovers that mountaineering can become a drug. Thus writes the famous article «The bankrupts», dedicated to those who no longer know how to live without mountains. It is the fundamental step that leads him to open up beyond the boundaries of Piedmontese mountaineering and beyond the myths-duties of the heroic tradition. From that moment on, an incessant search for the development of an adventure with a human face began. He discovers the limestone walls of the French Prealps, learns the ethics of Californian climbing and delves into oriental meditation techniques. He becomes the point of reference for a generation of restless mountaineers. This book collects all his most important writings.
