Reading by Emilie Talon... https://www.editionspaulsen.com/friso... https://www.tvmountain.com Roger Frison-Roche's new book: Let Me Tell You About Mont Blanc. The author of Premier de cordée pays tribute to Europe's highest mountain and its valley through a selection of illustrated texts. Summary. A man of letters (he was a journalist and author) as well as a mountaineer (he was a high-mountain guide), Frison-Roche lived through the 20th century, traveled the world, but remained loyal to Chamonix, which always considered him one of its own. Invoking Mont Blanc to pay homage to this audacious and generous man, on the twentieth anniversary of his death, is not at all fanciful. Through his articles, speeches, and interviews, witness the special encounter between the great reporter and the mountain. The kind of encounter that leads to self-discovery and understanding of others. The kind of destiny that creates heroes.
