The Cirque au Soleil - Poche

The Cirque au Soleil is the story about a jack-of-all-trades in Chamonix who tries everything to run a small circus at the Aiguille du Midi (the highest pick with a cable car). Although he is assisted by the choucas (the mountains blackbirds), things do not always go well. It's a parody about the attempts of one guide to walk the tightrope of life. Cirque is somewhat like The Little Prince meeting Hitchcock's The Birds.
The appendix is filled with "High-Altitude Recipes and Tips" for getting things done on a mountaintop. This edition is bilingual. You can read the French version whose title is "Le Cirque au Soleil".
