À propos de cet audio

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 lead us to the world's highest places.

Ce que les critiques en disent

The most exhilarating history of mountaineering ... a riveting read.

Going back to the 1600s the writer in his wonderfully poetic style captures the lurk of mountains. He details famous climbs and centuries of passion. Well worth reading.

Why is there such a fascination to be in and around mountains
