About the Book
Mount The Everrest While enduring the monotony of daily life, the protagonist, RoRo, comes across a media report about a fellow countryman becoming the first in the nation's history to reach the summit of Mount Everest. Deeply inspired, the 35-year-old envisions escaping his endless routine by embarking on a climb to the world's highest peak. Though lacking a clear strategy, he becomes consumed by the idea, seeing it as a singular achievement that could bring meaning to his existence. With vivid storytelling—at times uplifting, at others melancholic—he recounts his journeys through breathtaking valleys and along winding mountain streams. He ascends, stumbles, and pushes beyond his limits. At its core, the novel explores the restless quest of a bohemian mind seeking the meaning of human existence. As RoRo ventures into this profound philosophical pursuit, the journey unfolds as a fascinating experience, oscillating between reality and imagination.
