Riassunto

Sir Ranulph Fiennes is, according to The Guinness Book of Records, 'the world's greatest living explorer'. In a career spanning over thirty years he has circumnavigated the globe, broken numerous exploration records and experienced more than his fair share of triumphs and disasters. The high points are many, but there are low points too: the failed expedition to Antarctica in 1996, when Ran had to turn back because of a kidney stone problem; or the solo and unsupported attempt to reach the North Pole in 2000, which ended in severe frostbite and near death. And the low points are important; they are there to be learned from.
In Beyond the Limits Ranulph Fiennes looks back over a lifetime's extraordinary adventures and assesses the lessons he has taken away from each one. Beginning with his army days in the late 1960s, fighting communist insurgents in Oman, and encompassing expeditions to such places as British Columbia, Egypt and Norway as well as the famous Transglobe voyage and the many polar explorations, Fiennes takes us through each episode and offers insights into where and why things went right or wrong.
