Annapurna by Maurice Herzog remains one of the most important works in mountaineering literature—an electrifying first-person account of the 1950 French Himalayan Expedition and the first successful ascent of an 8,000-meter peak. Herzog’s narrative recounts the courage, suffering, and sheer force of will required to reach the summit of Annapurna (26,493 feet), a climb that redefined the limits of human endurance.

This 1953 second printing includes:

  • the iconic original dust jacket
  • color photographic plates
  • monochrome gravure illustrations
  • cartographic and photographic documentation by Marcel Ichac
  • an introduction by renowned climber Eric Shipton

A cornerstone of exploration history, Annapurna is treasured by collectors, historians, and adventure readers alike. This copy presents beautifully on the shelf and represents one of the finest true-life mountaineering narratives ever published.
