Killing Dragons

Fergus Fleming's audiobook recounts the daring adventures of explorers who sought to conquer the towering peaks of the Alps, transforming a long-standing fear of the mountains into a pursuit driven by curiosity, competition, and discovery. From the scientific interest of the late 18th century to the intense climbing competitions of the 19th century, the narrative captures the excitement, rivalries, and tragedies that defined this dramatic era of exploration.
