‘An extraordinary treasure trove’ Andrew Marr A unique collection of unpublished letters from the climbing legend George Mallory to his family, revealing his innermost thoughts about people, places and mountains. On the 8th of June, 1924, George Mallory and Sandy Irvine were seen through a telescope on the upper slopes of Mount Everest. They were never seen alive again. In 1999, Mallory’s body was found below the ridge where he was last seen. In the 100 years since his disappearance, many words have been written about Mallory, but very little has ever been published of his own thoughts.Letters from Everest is an eye opening set of personal letters from Mallory to his family, collected and published for the first time by his great-nephew. In the letters, Mallory is completely open about his life, his climbing and especially the three Everest Expeditions he was a part of – 1921, 1922 and the last in 1924. His writing is full of extraordinary insights – most of which have never been published in any form. They are a unique collection – an actual reflection, possibly the one and only, of the thoughts of a climbing legend who walked into history a century ago.

She inherited a legacy of ambition, betrayal, longing and secrets.

In the shadow of Poisson Gold, a multi-billion-dollar gold mine conglomerate, a family''s legacy unravels in a compelling tale that dives deep into the human psyche.

At the helm of this empire stands the enigmatic Abe Silver, a concentration camp survivor whose past holds secrets as complex as his fortune. With his health failing, Abe''s last-minute will alters the course of history, leaving his daughter Ellie, a newly minted lawyer, to navigate a treacherous path to control the colossal riches.

As grieving Ellie grapples with the immense responsibility thrust upon her, she must confront not only the malignant opposition of her own family and the rigid glass ceiling, but also her deeply buried secret - her sexuality. Set against the backdrop of 2010, a time when LGBTQ+ acceptance was scarce, Ellie''s struggle to reconcile her personal truth with her public facade adds an extra layer of complexity to this riveting narrative.

PRAISE FOR THE UNEXPECTED HEIRESS

The Unexpected Heiress transcends time and weaves horrors from World War II with present-day challenges. From Abe''s harrowing past to Ellie''s contemporary struggles, an embittered brother, a vacuous globetrotting socialite mother, and the betrayal of a much-loved kid brother, the novel paints a vivid portrait of a family divided by loyalties, lies and the enduring power of love...this novel had things that people will enjoy, as it shines a light on what it is like to come from a family legacy and have that legacy fall on your shoulders, and the need to fight to keep it, the desire to shine a light on the different ways people are discriminated against by people who know them and people who don''t. The Book Muse

''I found The Unexpected Heiress unputdownable. I enjoyed the story of Abe''s dysfunctional family and agony in naming a successor after finding out about his cancer. It certainly had many surprise moments and did not shy away from sexual choices, family drama and intrigue. I loved feeling a part of the iconic lifestyle of the Sydney Eastern Suburbs, including the morning runs, restaurants and country stays that were easy to relate to. Looking forward to the sequel.'' Margaret Wave, Personal Banker. Westpac BC

''The human spirit''s resilience in the face of adversity takes centre stage in The Unexpected Heiress.'' Australian Book Lovers

''George writes with passion, honesty and grace. Lots of charismatic, creative and realistic characters and scenarios. I enjoyed my glimpse into the riches of the Silver family when melodramatic daily life was the norm for them. It reminded me of an 80s glamorous tv series but set in the 2000s and in the realms of successful soap Dallas. It is also reminiscent of the late great Sidney Sheldon, much in that same plot style.'' Happy Valley Books

''From page one, I enjoyed reading The Unexpected Heiress. I related to the people, the places in and around the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, and I enjoyed the use of Yiddish words throughout the story.'' Rose Sevitt, Eastern Suburbs Life

In Climbing Everest, George Mallory (18 June 1886 - 8/9 June 1924), possibly the first man to summit Everest, takes us with him on his climbs in Britain and the Alps, culminating in his three expeditions to Mount Everest - the last of which cost him his life (a few days after the final piece in this book). Mallory was one of the first climbers to explore the emotional meaning of climbing, discarding the Edwardian stiff upper lip in the face of adventure. All his writings on climbing - here collected for the first time - started out as letters to his wife Ruth. He turned them into finely-crafted pieces which can be read by climbers as well as arm-chair climbers. When questioned 'Why climb Everest' he crafted the gnomic climbing phrase 'Because it is there.' His body was dramatically found five years ago on Everest in 2007. One day, nonetheless, his lost camera may provide the answer to the question whether he was the first human to summit Everest.

George Leigh Mallory és un dels alpinistes anglesos més mítics, conegut sobretot per la seva expedició del 1924 a l'Everest que li va costar la vida i pel gran enigma que segurament no podrem resoldre mai: ell i el seu company Irvine podrien haver estat els primers homes en ascendir al cim més alt de la Terra, molt abans que ho fes Sir Edmund Hillary el 1953. Així mateix, la troballa del seu cos, 75 anys després, a 8.157 metres d'altitud, completava la fascinació per aquest gran escalador, pioner dels temps moderns i figura indiscutible de la Gran Era de les Exploracions. Amb aquest recull inèdit dels seus influents textos, descobrim un nou vessant poc conegut de Mallory. Són escrits que fins fa poc es trobaven en arxius diversos, i que inclouen les últimes notes que va escriure pocs dies abans de la seva mort. Estan redactats amb una frescor inusual, i s'originen en les cartes diàries que escrivia a la seva esposa Ruth des de les muntanyes europees i des de l'Everest. Coneixerem el Mallory més íntim, intel·lectual i reflexiu en un llibre que combina pensament i acció.
