down (in)to Earth



Just started reading "The descent", and if the book turns out to be half as breathtaking as "L'abisso", it's going to be a few exhilarating intensive hours of full immersion ...
... and it turns out "The descent" is such an american book, written by a non-speleologist, not as rich in historical details, and really just scratching the surface of the underworld, and the emotions that it triggers, but hey, it's still about exploring the underworld !
