About this audiobook

Sir Edmund Hillary, the legendary mountaineer and explorer, made history as one of the first people to reach the summit of Mount Everest. Born in 1919 in Auckland, New Zealand, Hillary’s determination and adventurous spirit propelled him to achieve what many thought impossible. This biography explores his early life, his historic climb with Tenzing Norgay in 1953, and his later expeditions to the poles and other remote regions. Beyond his feats of exploration, Hillary dedicated his life to humanitarian work, particularly in Nepal, where he helped build schools and hospitals. This book celebrates his enduring legacy as a pioneer of adventure, a humanitarian, and a symbol of perseverance and courage.
