The world’s highest mountain awaits―and the world’s worst mountaineers (this side of Monty Python) are on their way to climb to its peak. Named by The Guardian as one of the “1000 Novels Everyone Must Read,” (and by Bill Bryson as “one of the funniest books you will ever read.”), this classic laugh-out-loud novel was first published in 1956 and never out-of-print somewhere in the world since then.
