Joe Simpson is a British mountaineer and author who wrote one of the most celebrated survival stories ever published. Touching The Void is his harrowing account of a climbing disaster in the Peruvian Andes, where he survived a fall into a crevasse and crawled back to base camp with a shattered leg, against all odds. The book was adapted into a BAFTA-winning documentary film and remains a classic of adventure literature. His audiobooks and books are gripping, unforgettable listening and reading — one of the greatest survival stories ever told.
