Insieme a Jean-Paul Sartre, nel 1955 Simone de Beauvoir viaggiò per sei settimane attraverso la Cina, invitata dal governo cinese. Da quell'esperienza nacque La lunga marcia (1957), un ricco resoconto del grande paese asiatico e dei cambiamenti che il comunismo vi stava portando.

"This is the tale of Mark Horrell’s not-so-nearly ascent of Gasherbrum in Pakistan, of how one man’s boredom and frustration was conquered by a gutsy combination of exhaustion, cowardice, and sheer mountaineering incompetence. He made not one, not two, but three intrepid assaults, some of which got quite a distance beyond Base Camp, and overcame many perilous circumstances along the way. The mountaineer Joe Simpson famously crawled for three days with a broken leg, but did he ever have to read Angels and Demons by Dan Brown while waiting for a weather window?
