Peaks and Bandits: The classic of Norwegian literature

English

By (author): Alf Bonnevie Bryn

Translated by: Bibbi Lee

In 1909, while dreaming of the Himalaya, Norwegian mountaineer Alf Bonnevie Bryn and a fellow young climber, the Australian George Ingle Finch, set their sights on Corsica to build their experience. The events of this memorable trip form the basis of Bryns acclaimed book Tinder og banditter Peaks and Bandits, with their boisterous exploits delighting Norwegian readers for generations. Newly translated by Bibbi Lee, this classic of Norwegian literature is available for the first time in English.

Although Bryn would go on to become a respected mountaineer and author, and Finch would become regarded as one of the greatest mountaineers of all time a legend of the 1922 Everest expedition Peaks and Bandits captures them on the cusp of these achievements: simply two students taking advantage of their Easter holidays, their escapades driven by their passion for climbing. As they find themselves in unexpected and often strange places, Bryns sharp and jubilant narrative epitomises travel writing at its best.

Balancing its wit with fascinating insight into life in early twentieth-century Corsica, the infectious enthusiasm of Bryns narrative has cemented it as one of Norways most treasured adventure books. Peaks and Bandits embodies the timeless joy of adventure.
