Description
WINNER OF THE GUARDIAN FIRST BOOK AWARD
Once, we thought monsters lived there. In the Enlightenment, we scaled them to commune with the sublime. Soon, we were racing to conquer their summits in the name of national pride.
In this ground-breaking, classic work, Robert Macfarlane takes us up into the mountains: to experience their shattering beauty, the fear and risk of adventure, and to explore the strange impulses that have for centuries led us to the world's highest places.
