16,90 лв.

“There is no death on Everest, there is only merging with the dream.”

This is what mountaineer Lyudmil Yankov says about the fate of Hristo Prodanov. Itso, as his relatives call him, remains in world history as the first person to reach Everest in the harsh conditions of April. No one before him had overcome the most difficult western slope, also known as the Cruel Path, without oxygen.

Dimitar Dimitrov’s book is not just another biography of the famous Bulgarian mountaineer, although it is the only current publication on the subject.

In “On the Way to the Top”, the reader can follow Prodanov’s difficult life story – from the dilapidated family house in Karlovo to the pearl of the Himalayan crown.

The author’s interviews with relatives and colleagues of Hristo Prodanov reveal new evidence of his personal and professional path.

“On the way to the top” is a book about dignity and morality, courage and sacrifice, perseverance and strong will. Qualities that are important not only in mountaineering, but also in the life of every person.
