The story of George Leigh Mallory, a novel based on history. I had never been drawn to read about Mr Mallory prior to this. I had never read anything by Jeffrey Archer either. For some reason, when given the opportunity to read this book, I enthusiastically took it.
The story begins when George
From a young age, Gorge showed a lack of fear, and a love of climbing. His father encouraged his sons sense of adventure, even to the point of accompanying him on ever more rigorous climbs, at least accompanying his as best he could. This trust and encouragement surely contributed to the self confident young man George became.
During his years at school, he knew that his mountain climbing had to take a backseat to his education, and so it did. TO his satisfaction, there were others who shared his interests, thus enabling him to continue with what brought joy to his life, scaling mountains.
I became so invested in the people portrayed in this book, I had a hard time putting it down. I had a vague and passing knowledge of Mallory and his Everest climbs, but nothing more than that. After reading about his life and family, as well as his dreams. I am searching for more information on this clearly incredible man.
I strongly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good read, or is interested in mountaineering. I will be reading more books by this author very soon, as well as more books about George Mallory and Everest. A book that inspires a new interest is the very best kind of book.

I decided to read this book because I'd read Jeffrey Archer before, and I'd enjoyed it. I'd never heard of George Mallory before, or his quest to climb Everest. This book proved to be a learning experience.
Paths of Glory is the story of George Mallory's life, from childhood to his death on the
Archer has researched Mallory's life meticulously (and lists Mallory's grandson, George Leigh Mallory II, in the acknowledgments page of the book). After finishing the book, I was interested enough to do some quick research of my own, and while I can find many things that Archer left out, I cannot think of anything that Archer got wrong. Archer seems to want to memorialize Mallory with this book; he is certainly of the opinion that Mallory reached the summit of Everest and was headed down when killed, even as he admits that there is no way to prove one way or the other.
Paths of Glory was a gripping read. I think it helped that I wasn't familiar with Mallory prior to reading it, so that I really didn't know what was coming next. I was eager to learn of the fate of each of Mallory's companions, just as I wanted to learn of his wife's reaction to his death. Most of all, as I mentioned, the book made me want to learn more -- a greater compliment I cannot give.

Was George Mallory the first man to successfully climb to Mr. Everest's summit? Historians may never know for sure, but Archer successfully recreates a possible scenerio in Paths of Glory. George has loved to climb ever since he was a child. The only thing he may have loved more was his wife and

Jeffrey Archer is good . He takes fact as far as it can go and adds the rest What an amazing story of Mallory and his team tackling Everest. Well constructive narrative that I could not put down. Also the fact that it was mostly true, made it even more interesting.
LibraryThing member nyiper
What a terrific historical novel! The epilogue was particularly fascinating, describing what had happened to almost everyone involved long after Mallory's death. This was not what I was expecting in a Jeffrey Archer story but it was a wonderful listening experience with Roger Allam as the reader.

I picked up this Jeffrey Archer book having no idea of the content but because I like his writing. I had no idea I'd be spending the afternoon reading the story of Englishman and mountaineer George Mallory, who dreamed of being the first to scale Mt. Everest. In the early to mid 1920's he along
The story, however, is not so much if he reached the peak but about his love of climbing, his zest for life, his enthusiasm and courage for trying not once but several times in the face of daunting odds, the tug of family ties and his code of honor. It's not about Mallory the climber so much as Mallory the man. Archer does such a wonderful job of making Mallory live in these pages that the reader feels the Englishman’s passion for admission to Cambridge, his need to stand for Britain in the Great War, and even the cold harsh wind he encounters on Mt. Everest. It is the closest most of us will ever come to scaling a mountain and Archer makes sure we understand the commitment, dedication and sheer joy of the trek. What a way to spend the afternoon. I have absolutely no interest in rock climbing or mountaineering but this book is about finding your talent and doing what you love. Romantics will appreciate the letters he writes to his wife and anyone who appreciates good writing will be pleased with this book.

I am a big fan of Jeffrey Archer’s work. I’ve been reading him since my childhood in the 70’s. More than anything else, I’ve always thought of him as one hell of a story-teller. Some of his novels are stronger than others, but for decades now, I’ve always come back for more. Therefore,
Paths of Glory is the story of real-life mountain climber George Lee Mallory and his epic quest to scale Everest. The novel opens with the discovery a decade ago of Mallory’s frozen body near the summit of Everest, where it had remained since 1937—never quite answering the mystery of whether he made it to the top. From that beginning, we go back to Mallory’s early childhood and are treated to a fictional biography of the major events of his life. Family, school, marriage, and the drive to explore are all covered. Additionally, Archer gives the reader one version of what might have happened that day in 1937, and even an epilogue regarding the fates of the other major and minor players.
It wasn’t bad. I didn’t actively dislike it. But I find myself hard-pressed to recommend the novel. It was a reasonably likable, easy read, but there seemed to be so little of substance ultimately. Really, it felt like one cute story after another, all strung along to illustrate why Mallory was such a generically worthy, likable guy. I can’t help thinking that there must have been so much more to the man. Nor did Archer do a particularly vivid job of painting the times in which Mr. Mallory lived. If Mallory really was the hero he was painted to be, I think he probably deserved better.
I should also mention that I listened to this novel as an unabridged audiobook. The narrator Roger Allam, did a passable job, but wasn’t particularly strong on accents. In the end, Allam failed where Archer failed… They took a true story but never managed to bring it to life.

Some like to spend their winter evenings with coffee, a heater and the TV but for me there’s nothing to beat bed, a book and a cup of tea: a recent spate of first class thrillers is perfect for those who prefer the later scenario.
Poor old Jeffrey Archer – he wrote some good books in his day
To my surprise, Paths of Glory is excellent: a fictionalized account of George Mallory, almost certainly the first white man to climb Everest in 1924, but now almost forgotten, eclipsed by Edmund Hillary.
A hot water bottle, a bedside lamp and a couple of dozen books like the above and you’re all set for a long and comfortably cosy winter: bring on the Ice Age.
When asked why he wanted to scale the highest peak in the world he replied simply ‘Because it is there’. Most of us know the quote but not the man who first said it: this book will redress that.

Though based on the life of a real person, the book is a novel, not a biography. One of Archer’s gifts is the ability to blend fact, fiction, and legend so that even a careful reader might have trouble differentiating between them. With the same attention to detail and expert characterization that brought to life the world of high finance in Kane & Abel and the cutthroat competition of the news business in The Fourth Estate, Archer has given readers a potential answer to the question of whether Mallory reached Everest’s summit.
But the book is far more than simple speculation on the outcome of Mallory’s final expedition. Archer explores Mallory’s life in detail, including his service in the military and his romance with Ruth Turner, who later became his wife. Through it all, Archer brings Mallory’s exploits to life in a way that allows readers to get to know not only the man but also the world in which lived.
The book contains no significant objectionable content; if Archer’s presentation of his subject’s moral character can be believed, Mallory was a man of honor and integrity, and the story happily lacks any of the less savory material found in some of Archer’s other books.
Jeffrey Archer has been called one of the top storytellers in the world, and while it seems doubtful that anyone would Paths of Glory his best book, it will do nothing to detract from that reputation.

Why do people climb Mount Everest? "Because it's there" according to George Mallory. In this fictional account, George Mallory and his climbing partner, Sandy Irvine, reached the summit of Everest in 1924 but died on the way down. Opinion is still divided as to whether they conquered this difficult
I was interested to contrast this story with that of another British adventurer who is referred to, Scott of the Antarctic. I recently watched the miniseries "The Last Place on Earth" about the race to the South Pole between Scott and Amundsen. Scott was dictatorial and unwilling to change and that may have led to his death as well as the death of the people who accompanied him. Mallory, at least as portrayed by Archer, was a much nicer person. Initially he was against using oxygen on the ascent but after his attempt in 1922 he was persuaded that oxygen was necessary in order to make it to the top. Archer also thought of taking one of the Sherpas with him to the top in 1922 a move that would have enraged the hidebound members of the Royal Geographical Society.
Ultimately this story is a love story. When separated from his wife Mallory wrote to her every day. They were as much in love when he left for Asia as they had been when they first married. Mallory probably would have stayed home if Ruth had not persuaded him to go (against her own wishes). It's very sad that they couldn't spend their declining years together.

Along the way, Mallory marries, becomes a father, serves in WWI and finds himself pitted against Australian mountaineer George Finch as a potential leader of Britain's push to conquer Everest. Archer does eventually offer his opinion as to whether Mallory summited Everest, but by that point all but his most devoted fans will have fled the icy crags of this lifeless novel. Show Less

The insights into the personalities and politics of the Royal Geographic Society and the Alpine Club making up the Everest Committee were what made it most intriguing for me. Serious mountaineers will be left wanting for lack of any technical details – the only time ice axes were even mentioned was when they were used as the stumps to play cricket at base camp before embarking. In all a wonderful piece of storytelling, recommended for lovers of exploration literature and mountaineers who can stomach the technical errata and want insight into the man. (4 stars out of 5).
