WILD in the Himalayas. Loves and tragedies from Paris to Kathmandu. (Travel‪)‬

“What am I doing with my life? I am about to turn 40, so I still have the other half left. And I want to live, to live.”
A radical change. Francisco quits his profession as a high executive in a multinational company, flies to Nepal and embarks on a six-month adventure across the Himalayan Mountains. At the end of his trip, he meets a dying mountaineer with whom he will share the next eleven days, suffering through among furious storms and eternal snows, while waiting for rescue. It is a time of reflection, remembering those unique experiences and moments which have made him who he is now.
Adventures, love and erotism, travels and exoticism in this autobiographical novel based on his own life. From his childhood in post-civil war Spain and his encounter with the republican guerrillas to his first tastes of freedom as a young man in a bohemian Paris. From his life as a high executive and his great romances to his adventures in Kashmir, Ladakh, India and Nepal, his encounter with the world of drugs in Kathmandu and his journey across the Himalayas, loves and tragedies included.

"I have just read your story and it captured my imagination, I could barely put it down. I finished it in 3 days - good for me. It was an enthralling, engaging and occasionally moving tale. You certainly kept your souvenirs pristine and your writing, with so many references and quotations expertly inserted from the greatest writers along with your thought-provoking phrases and ideas, was of the highest order." Richard B.
"I have just finished reading your book which I thoroughly enjoyed! I loved how you knitted together the theme of your rescue of “Jack” with your reflections on the mountains, nature, culture and philosophy, mixed with stories of the loves of your life. You had the courage to abandon the world of “managerialism” and to reinvent the nature and quality of your life. Bravo and thanks for sharing your experiences and thoughts in your delightful book!" David G.
"Your book left me puzzled: In the end, I could not decide, which of the two you love more, the mountains or the women? Yet you gave the answer anyhow: One can love both with the same intensity, without taking away anything from the other. I was really touched by the gentle, respectful and caring tone of the portraits of you different girls/women/female friends and finally wife." Stefan C.
"This is a great read, hard to put down if you like travel, adventure and love. The story, beautifully written, of a middle aged executive moving to the foothills of the Himalaya and running into extreme circumstances is very moving when he remembers his past love life and the lovers he has left behind."
