眾神的山嶺 下

神々の山嶺

by Baku Yumemakura, 夢枕獏, 張智淵 (Translator)

世界最高的聖母峰，是只有眾神駐足的領域；
凡人卻不斷受著熱情與鬥志驅策，意圖踏上那無人可及的峰頂……。
1924年，著名英國登山家馬洛里二度向世界最高峰聖母峰挑戰，與同伴厄文在攀登過程中失蹤。他們究竟有沒有登上峰頂？這件事一直以來是個無解的謎團。

1993年，日本攝影師深町誠在尼泊爾黑市發現一架老舊的柯達相機，並與失蹤多年的日本傳奇登山天才羽生丈二不期而遇。深町執著地追尋著羽生丈二的足跡，從日本再度回到了加德滿都。這時，他一心一意想要揭開的謎團，已經不只是馬洛里的相機了；他更想要了解：傳奇登山天才突然默默失蹤多年，究竟是為了什麼？在登山界中，還有哪一座崇高而艱難的山巔尚未為世人所征服？羽生最後的挑戰，究竟是什麼？

在深町的眼中，羽生的身影與70年前的馬洛里重疊了，當這地球上最後一座高峰也蓋上人類的腳印時，他將為一種時代精神畫下最後的句點……。身而為人的侷限，人與大自然之間最極端的對立與最深沈的羈絆，只有夢枕貘能讓你身歷其境，融入這股撼動人心的迷惘與熱情！
