Publisher's Synopsis
In 1894 Martin Conway became the first man to walk the Alps from 'end to end' when he completed a 1000-mile journey from Italy to Austria. Nearly 120 years later, Simon Thompson set out to explore both the mountains and the man. A charming rogue who led a 'fantastically eventful' life, Lord Conway was a climber and pioneering explorer. A restless, discontented man, he searched constantly for meaning and purpose - a search that led him back time and time again, to the Alps.
