Sinopse

Some people have dreams so extraordinary that, when they achieve them, they earn a place in history. But what if a man has such a dream and, after realizing it, there's no proof he achieved it? Jeffrey Archer's "The Trails of Glory" presents the fictionalized story of one such man: mountaineer George Mallory. Based on a true story whose outcome remains unknown to this day, the book features George Mallory and his greatest dream: to be the first man to reach the summit of Mount Everest. Since his wife, the other great love of the protagonist's life, was against the adventure, he promised it would be just one attempt, whether he succeeded or not. Of course, as she suspected, the promise was not kept. In 1924, along with another climber, Mallory set off towards his goal, never returning. His body was only found, frozen, in 1999, at 8,000 meters, on the north face of Everest. And since no photos have been found to prove the feat, many still question whether he died attempting the summit or on his way back to camp. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Sir Edmund Hillary was the first to reach the summit of Mount Everest, in 1953. Could this be true? It's an incredible book about one man's obsession and determination to achieve his lifelong dream. It's also a beautiful love story—George's wife, Ruth, gave unconditional support to the adventure, even though she feared becoming a lonely widow.
