Oggi le montagne d'Italia e del mondo - le Dolomiti e il Monte Bianco, l'Everest e il K2, il Kilimanjaro e il Gran Sasso - sono soprattutto spazi di divertimento e avventura. Ma i sentieri, le pareti di roccia e di ghiaccio, le piste da sci e le vette sono solo una parte del quadro. Per millenni, in ogni angolo della terra, le montagne sono state territori di duro lavoro quotidiano, fonte di paura e luoghi eletti a culto, scenario di sfide che hanno messo alla prova le umane possibilità, oltre che teatro di guerra.

Simone Moro ripercorre vent'anni di spedizioni in Himalaya senza nascondere nulla, né le grandi soddisfazioni né le difficoltà e le rinunce. Il suo è un lungo viaggio di avvicinamento, dalle Alpi bergamasche fino in cima al sogno di raggiungere la vetta più alta della Terra. L'Everest per Simone non è solo una vetta da raggiungere, è la ragione per cui vale la pena di crescere, di camminare dal campo base alla cima, attraverso crepacci, successi, bufere improvvise, momenti di sconforto, incontri con amici veri e persone di cui è meglio non fidarsi.
