pp. 150 / collection sempervivum, Geïllustreerd / Illustrated / Illustré / Illustriert, ouvrage orné de 37 héliogravures, six croquis de Jeanne Germain French SEMPERVIVUM No 24 ÉTOILES ET TEMPÊTES SIX FACES NORD par Gaston RÉBUFFAT Dans la littérature alpine, les livres écrits par les guides professionnels sont rares, et ces rares ouvrages sont de très inégale valeur. La chance de Gaston Rébuffat, qui fait l?intérêt exceptionnel de son livre, c?est qu?il est non seulement un guide de tout premier plan, mais un homme cultivé, sincère et sensible ; sensible à la grandeur de la montagne, à la poésie de la nature, à la grandeur humaine et à l?idéal d?un métier qui, parmi les métiers d?homme, est un des plus beaux qui soient. Gaston Rébuffat est le seul guide qui ait fait avec des clients qui sont aussi ses amis les ascensions des six faces nord les plus célèbres des Alpes françaises, suisses et italiennes : Grandes Jorasses, Dru Eiger Cervin Piz Badile Cima Grande di Lavaredo. Gaston Rébuffat est né à Marseille le 7 mai 1921. Durant toute son enfance, il se promène dans les Alpes de Provence et dans les Calanques où il ?grimpe? déjà. À dix-sept ans, il passe à la haute montagne et fait la Meije et la traversée de la Barre des Écrins. À vingt ans, il est à Jeunesse et Montagne et sort premier du stage de ?chef de cordée? L?année suivante, il passe son brevet de guide et devient successivement moniteur à l?École d?Alpinisme de La Grave et instructeur à l?École Militaire de Haute Montagne ; puis, pour ne plus quitter la montagne, il entre dans la Compagnie des Guides de Chamonix. Depuis juillet 1947, où il réalise la face nord des Grandes Jorasses, de nombreuses grandes premières s?inscrivent à son palmarès. En 1950, il compte parmi les membres de l?Expédition française à l?Annapurna. Il a, en outre, réalisé plusieurs films de montagne, dont Des hommes et des Montagnes avec J.-J. Languepin, et, avec G. Tairraz et M. Baquet, Étoiles et Tempêtes, qui vient de remporter le grand prix du 4e Festival international du film de montagne, à Trente. Gaston Rébuffat a fait déjà paraître plusieurs ouvrages chez divers éditeurs. Dans la collection Belles Pages, Belles Couleurs, a paru récemment aux Éditions Arthaud : DU MONT BLANC À L?HIMALAYA.…
