Roger Frison-Roche


Born
in Paris, France
February 10, 1906

Died
December 17, 1999

Genre


Born in 1906 in Paris, Roger Frison-Roche, an alpinist, mountain guide, journalist, and explorer before he turned novelist, produced fiction that celebrated the splendors and rigors of the Alps, the Sahara, and the Scandinavian North. Two of his Alpine novels, Premier de cordée, translated into English as First on the Rope, and La Grande Crevasse, present adventure stories whose mountain-guide protagonists titillate readers with the appealing skill and daring exacted by the mountain.
