Roger Frison-Roche

    February 10, 1906 – December 17, 1999

    Roger Frison-Roche, an alpinist, mountain guide, journalist, and explorer before turning to the novel, produced fiction that celebrated the splendors and rigors of the Alps, the Sahara, and the Scandinavian North. His Alpine novels present adventure stories whose mountain-guide protagonists engage readers with the skill and daring exacted by the mountains. Through his writing, he captures the essence of adventure and the human spirit in the face of the elements.
