Two Sherpas

★★★★★
★★★★★

English

By (author): Sebastian Martinez Daniell

Translated by: Jennifer Croft

Mount Everest, and all it means to royalty, explorers, imperialists, and two sherpas, perched on a cliffside, waiting for a man on the ledge below to move.

A British climber has fallen from a cliffside in Nepal, and lies inert on a ledge below. Two sherpas kneel at the edge, stand, exchange the odd word, waiting for him to move, to make a decision, to descend. In those minutes, the world opens up to Kathmandu, a sun-bleached beach town on another continent, and the pages of Julius Caesar. Mountaineering, colonialism, obligationin Sebastián Martínez Daniell's effortless prose each breath is crystalline, and the whole world is visible from here.
