This is the tale of a man who loved two women. This is the story of a man murdered by one of those two women. Some men possess dreams so unattainable that, upon their fulfillment, they are granted a assured place in History. Amongst them are Francis Drake, Robert Scott, Percy Fawcett, Charles Lindbergh, Amy Johnson, Sir Edmund Hillary, and Neil Armstrong. But what if there were a man who harbored an equally unachievable dream, yet, once realized, lacked any tangible proof of his ambitions being met? "Paths of Glory" is the tale of such a man.
However, not until the final page of this extraordinary novel will the reader be certain whether George Mallory deserves to be counted amongst that legendary roster, for if he does, then there is a name on that list that ought to be struck out. Some men are blessed with dreams so lofty, so grandiose, that the mere pursuit of them is enough to cement their place in the annals of history, regardless of the outcome.
This is the story of a man who loved two women, one of whom would ultimately end his life. It is a tale of ambition and obsession, of the relentless pursuit of the impossible. George Mallory's quest to conquer the unconquerable - the summit of Mount Everest - has captivated the imaginations of people the world over. Did he succeed where others had failed, only to perish on the descent, leaving no proof of his triumph? Or did he fall short of the summit, his dream forever unfulfilled?
The reader is taken on a journey through Mallory's life, from his humble beginnings to the moment of his untimely demise. Along the way, we bear witness to his unwavering determination, his all-consuming passion, and the relationships that both fueled and complicated his relentless pursuit of the mountain's peak. The story is woven with a level of suspense and intrigue that keeps the reader guessing until the very end.
"Paths of Glory" is a testament to the human spirit, to the lengths we will go to achieve the impossible. It is a poignant exploration of the fine line between greatness and madness, success and failure. In the end, the reader is left to ponder the true meaning of legacy and whether the mere pursuit of a dream is enough to cement one's place in history.
