This Game Of Ghosts (Paperback)

This Game of Ghosts

By Joe Simpson

A sequel to the award-winning "Touching the Void", in which Simpson described a fall in the Himalayas which crippled and almost broke him. This is a memoir of the signposts that have directed him since childhood to measure fear and embrace the unknown.

“THIS GAME OF GHOSTS is a strange, beautiful, bewildering and often very moving book… Simpson paints a warm, vivid picture of the climbing fraternity, and approaches a fusion of poetry and philosophy sometimes with his descriptions of the impact on oneself of facing down the fear of dying; through this coming closer to the understanding death, and thereby, joyously life.” The List
