I miei 4000 sulle Alpi

«The first mountain trek was just an attempt, because I had to use up some days off: would I be physically capable? Would I have suffered from the altitude? How would I have felt at the top of a four-thousander?" Ten years later Marlies Czerny climbed all the four thousand peaks of the Alps. In this book she not only makes the reader participate in her exploits and the wonderful places she crossed, but also tells in an immediate and authentic way how the highest peaks of the Alps have profoundly changed their lives. Climbing mountains like the White Matterhorn or the Mönch for Marlies Czerny has little to do with speed or degree of difficulty, but with happiness, courage, fear, friendship, change and the awareness that reaching the peak of happiness is possible. My 4000 in the Alps is the exciting story of a "normal" woman who accomplished an "exceptional" feat. A beautiful book about mountains, mountaineering, nature, which teaches us to seek new goals and new balances.
