Andrzej Zawada, the son of a Polish consul and grandson of a January insurgent, was an extremely charismatic and assertive figure. In the reality of the Polish People's Republic, he skillfully maneuvered, gaining recognition for his crazy ideas. He led the first Polish expedition to the Karakoram, which conquered the virgin Kunyang Chhish, and also stood on the summit of Noszak in winter, astonishing the entire mountaineering world.
The year 1980 turned out to be a breakthrough. Under Zawada's leadership, the Poles were the first to conquer Mount Everest in winter, and then other eight-thousanders, monopolizing winter climbing in the Himalayas. His determination and belief in the possibility of overcoming the limits of human endurance inspired subsequent generations of mountaineers.
Piotr Trybalski, the author of bestselling biographies, has created a book that was missing in Polish mountain literature. The Almighty is the story of a man without whom the successes of Krzysztof Wielicki, Leszek Cichy, Maciej Berbeka, and Jerzy Kukuczka would not have been possible. It is the story of a leader who breathed hope into the hearts of Polish mountaineers and showed them how to be proud of themselves and their homeland.
The book is set in the fascinating realities of the early Polish post-war alpinism, showing the difficulties and challenges that Polish climbers had to face. It is a story of passion, determination, and dreams that allowed them to achieve the impossible.
The Literary Publishing House presents a biography of Andrzej Zawada that will forever change your view of Polish mountaineering. Meet the man who was created for great things and who went down in history as one of the most outstanding mountaineers.
The Almighty is not only a biography, but also an inspiring story about overcoming one's own weaknesses, striving for goals, and believing in one's own abilities. It is a book that will touch every reader and leave a lasting impression in their heart.
