BOOK - Resilience - Loury Lag, Martin Petit

Loury Lag, a French explorer known for his extreme expeditions during which he came close to death many times, is once again breaking the rules by tackling the barriers of disability. Resilience traces the extraordinary adventure of Loury guiding Martin Petit, a former sportsman who became a quadriplegic, to the heart of the most remote areas of our planet to prove that, even in a situation of disability, incredible feats can be achieved. Mutual aid, surpassing oneself and freedom are the key words of this project. From the Sahara desert to the summit of the snow-capped Alps via the Atlantic Ocean, Loury allowed Martin to surpass his own limits. A story of a tremendous human adventure, this book offers a powerful message that overturns preconceived ideas about disability through its pages illustrated with incredible photographs of these extraordinary expeditions.
