In a story of Everest unlike any told before, Jamling Tenzing Norgay gives us an insider's view of the Sherpa world. As Climbing Leader of the famed 1996 Everest IMAX expedition led by David Breashears, Jamling Norgay was able to follow in the footsteps of his legendary mountaineer father, Tenzing Norgay, who with Sir Edmund Hillary was the first to reach the summit of Mount Everest, in 1953. Jamling Norgay interweaves the story of his own ascent during the infamous May 1996 Mount Everest disaster with little-known stories from his father's historic climb and the spiritual life of the Sherpas, revealing a fascinating and profound world that few — even many who have made it to the top — have ever seen.

Then, along comes Jamling Tenzing Norgay with Touching My Father's Soul: A Sherpa's Journey to the Top of Everest. Norgay's tale is packed in credibility, like an Everest expertise sandwich. There's an introduction by Jon Krakauer, author of the awe-inspiring Into Thin Air, and it's co-written by Broughton Coburn, author of Everest: Mountain Without Mercy. Like many mountaineering books, this reads like a love story. Boy meets mountain, boy loses mountain, and boy gets mountain back. Substitute the word "mountain" with "father," "spiritual strength," or "cultural identity" and you're still outlining N
