Many extreme sports and adventure enthusiasts choose to learn more about their favorite sports by reading books by renowned figures who have left a key mark on the world of a particular sporting discipline. They wish to capture their experience and acquired knowledge in a book so that all those who come after them will know the secrets behind them for getting to where they have achieved.
There are countless books that could be mentioned, but today we'll recommend just a few. Some of our recommendations include:
The first proposal is the book 'Breaking boundaries. The Great Adventure of El Larguero', by David Alonso and Francisco José Delgado, a 318-page book that crosses borders to delve into twelve surprising stories of enthusiasm, excitement, and personal growth. This book travels from the desert to the North Pole, so readers can immerse themselves in a never-ending adventure guided by each of its characters. Within its pages, readers travel around the world twice, travel to remote places, climb the highest mountains on the planet, and even fight against death itself, even knowing it could not be defeated.
The second proposal is the book 'Spanish explorations today', by Juan José Zorrilla, a 254-page book that transports the reader to a world of challenge. This book chronicles Òscar Cadiach's ascent of Mount Everest, Miguel Ángel Gordillo's crossing of the Atlantic in a small plane, and Sebastián Álvaro's journey across the Taklamakan Desert, among other harrowing stories. This book, illustrated with striking images, will take you on a journey into the unknown.
The third proposal is the book 'Stealing time from death', by David Torres and Sebastián Álvaro, a 170-page book that chronicles a grand adventure that tests not only strength, endurance, and courage, but also one's capacity for suffering and the will to enjoy life to the fullest. It's a perfect book, as it offers all readers who enjoy both sports and literature a way to combine both passions.
And last but not least, we can highlight the book 'The conquest of Everest', by George Lowe and Huw Lewis-Jones, a comprehensive 240-page book chronicling the adventure of Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay when they reached the summit of Mount Everest on May 29, 1953. This commemorative book, in homage to this feat, offers a stunning collection of images and the private archives of George Lowe, the climber and photographer who witnessed that successful expedition.
