內容簡介
一場讓世人討論了二十年，並引發無數電影、書籍、紀錄片、報導的山難
「貼近生命消逝的謎團，偷瞄死亡的禁忌疆界，都令人血脈賁張。
我堅信登山是偉大的活動，固有的危險非但無損其偉大，反而正是登山偉大的理由。」
1996年5月，尼泊爾放寬聖母峰登山人數的限制，世界最高峰迎來史上最熱鬧的登山季。全年孤寒的山谷，一口氣湧入上百名雄心勃勃的登山者及雪巴。聖母峰毒藥般的魔力，吸引了全球各種野心、幻想、國家期待，以及商業企圖。
5月10日，全年吹襲著聖母峰的狂風停了，天空一片湛藍，一絲風也沒有，登山者夢寐以求的「窗口」打開了，山神彷彿拿出了獎牌向所有人招手。四號營中，34人於午夜出發攻頂。但等著他們的，不但有全年最適合攻頂的天氣，還有聖母峰史上最嚴重的塞車，以及鬼魅般默默來襲的暴風雪。攻頂的安全時限早已過去，大部分攻頂者卻還被困在氧氣稀薄的「死亡地帶」，當山神收回獎牌，最頂尖的嚮導連自己的命都救不了……
在這場奪走十二條人命的山難中，傳奇登山家暨暢銷作家強．克拉庫爾，正是成功登頂的倖存者之一。他抱著強烈自責回溯整場山難，以分鐘為單位，試圖一層層挖開生死謎團：在山難發生前，誰嗅出了危機？最謹慎老練的嚮導為何無視危險，帶領客戶一步步走入死亡陷阱？成功逃過一劫的人，又是做了什麼決定救了自己一命？當作者不停逼自己及倖存者回想山上發生的一切，挖出一件件看似微小但影響重大的細節，剖析每個人的作為，我們發現，真相常常深埋在表面事實下方兩三層。
本書一出版，便登上美國《紐約時報》暢銷排行榜第一名，十多年也來一直暢銷不輟，引發無數網路討論，甚至帶動八本相關書籍出版、兩部相關電影拍攝。原因便在於，作者不僅試圖揭開山難真相，更帶領讀者重新認識登山，理解登山者為何執著把自己丟入險境。登頂的意義、登山的價值，就在死神的一秒秒逼近中顯現。
聖母峰上的每具白骨，都代表一個夢想的蒸發，一場勇氣的掙扎。作者雖然沒能透過寫作獲得平靜，卻也成功完成招魂，讓全球讀者記住那些奮不顧身的夢想家，以及無數慷慨助人、自我犧牲的英雄身影。
這部「登山文學」，卻不只是「災難紀實報導」而已，它包含了倫理辯證、生死凝視，包含了恐懼與希望──正如每個人的生命，都曾到達過空氣稀薄處，而這本書，或許可當做那一瓶備用氧氣。──劉梓潔

A bank of clouds was assembling on the not-so-distant horizon, but journalist-mountaineer Jon Krakauer, standing on the summit of Mt. Everest, saw nothing that "suggested that a murderous storm was bearing down. " He was wrong. The storm, which claimed five lives and left countless more--including Krakauer's--in guilt-ridden disarray, would also provide the impetus for Into Thin Air, Krakauer's epic account of the May 1996 disaster.
By writing Into Thin Air, Krakauer may have hoped to exorcise some of his own demons and lay to rest some of the painful questions that still surround the event. He takes great pains to provide a balanced picture of the people and events he witnessed and gives due credit to the tireless and dedicated Sherpas. He also avoids blasting easy targets such as Sandy Pittman, the wealthy socialite who brought an espresso maker along on the expedition. Krakauer's highly personal inquiry into the catastrophe provides a great deal of insight into what went wrong. But for Krakauer himself, further interviews and investigations only lead him to the conclusion that his perceived failures were directly responsible for a fellow climber's death. Clearly, Krakauer remains haunted by the disaster, and although he relates a number of incidents in which he acted selflessly and even heroically, he seems unable to view those instances objectively. In the end, despite his evenhanded and even generous assessment of others' actions, he reserves a full measure of vitriol for himself.
This updated trade paperback edition of Into Thin Air includes an extensive new postscript that sheds fascinating light on the acrimonious debate that flared between Krakauer and Everest guide Anatoli Boukreev in the wake of the tragedy. "I have no doubt that Boukreev's intentions were good on summit day, " writes Krakauer in the postscript, dated August 1999. "What disturbs me, though, was Boukreev's refusal to acknowledge the possibility that he made even a single poor decision. Never did he indicate that perhaps it wasn't the best choice to climb without gas or go down ahead of his clients. " As usual, Krakauer supports his points with dogged research and a good dose of humility. But rather than continue the heated discourse that has raged since Into Thin Air's denouncement of guide Boukreev, Krakauer's tone is conciliatory; he points most of his criticism at G. Weston De Walt, who coauthored The Climb, Boukreev's version of events. And in a touching conclusion, Krakauer recounts his last conversation with the late Boukreev, in which the two weathered climbers agreed to disagree about certain points. Krakauer had great hopes to patch things up with Boukreev, but the Russian later died in an avalanche on another Himalayan peak, Annapurna I.
In 1999, Krakauer received an Academy Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters--a prestigious prize intended "to honor writers of exceptional accomplishment. " According to the Academy's citation, "Krakauer combines the tenacity and courage of the finest tradition of investigative journalism with the stylish subtlety and profound insight of the born writer. His account of an ascent of Mount Everest has led to a general reevaluation of climbing and of the commercialization of what was once a romantic, solitary sport; while his account of the life and death of Christopher McCandless, who died of starvation after challenging the Alaskan wilderness, delves even more deeply and disturbingly into the fascination of nature and the devastating effects of its lure on a young and curious mind. "
