Into the Dizzying Heights is the story of a great love, an unusual triangle and an enigmatic, solitary climber, Irena Besikova. It is also the tale of the confrontation of untamed nature and urban civilisation. The two vocations are incompatible, particularly when they are idealistic and extreme.

Step inside the impossible! Let yourself be led to the limits of your imagination and give in to the dizzying experience these memorable pages offer! This novel is composed of twenty-five enjoyable chapters, skilfully constructing a brilliant kaleidoscope, a complex map of human dreams, desires and fantasies.

So as to save his own life, young Zollinger leaves the village where he was born and stays away for seven years, setting off on an adventure that will see him carry out all sorts of jobs.

But her happiness is marred by the terrible weight of her memories: no one knows the dark secret she left behind her among the tents of the Dakhla camp. And now the past has come back to claim her.
