About this book
Vogun Vinnur by Sir Edmund Hillary, published in Icelandic by Skuggsjá in 1976 in a translation by Hersteinn Pálsson. Hillary, the New Zealand mountaineer, made the first ascent of Everest with Tenzing Norgay in 1953. The Icelandic title, roughly 'venture wins', echoes his 1975 autobiography Nothing Venture, Nothing Win.
