Size: Paperback
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 Bryn’s 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, Bryn’s 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 Bryn’s narrative has cemented it as one of Norway’s most treasured adventure books.
embodies the timeless joy of adventure.
