In this picture memoir he recalls trips across continents and decades with friends including Precht, Eisendle, Bösch, Messner and Fankhauser. Destinations include Bhutan, Bali, Socotra and Oman. The short texts and many photographs are laced with humour and self-irony, and the book also deals with the deaths of more than two dozen mountain friends, with his patients, and with his support for assisted dying. A reviewer for the Alpenverein München \u0026amp; Oberland found the book curious and relaxed in tone. Messner appears in the book as a companion rather than as its author, but he has signed this copy alongside Oelz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFirst edition, signed by both Oelz and Reinhold Messner to the title in blue and black ink. \u003c\/strong\u003eLarge quarto. 240pp., with some 325 colour illustrations.
