Notes
Description
"Tough and Cheerful is a story about the world's tallest mountain, the evolution of Nepal, and a man who has been part of the staggering transformation of both. As the last living member of the 1953 first summit of Mount Everest, with Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, Kanchha's history is one never to be forgotten...Kanchha's personal story takes us through time and mountain ranges, from scarcity to abundance, from challenge to conquest, from personal collapse to moral rectitude, and from a hidden land of breathtaking beauty to one threatened by the world's changing climate. As a man who now lives in the 21st century...Kanchha has had a front row seat to a thousand years of history in a single lifetime. Humble, thoughtful, brave and funny, this "tough and cheerful" man has a lot to teach us all." -- Adapted from jacket.
