DESCRIPTION

Once, we believed that monsters dwelled there. During the Age of Enlightenment, we dared to climb these peaks in search of spiritual transcendence. And before long, we were fiercely competing to conquer their summits in the pursuit of glory.

In his pioneering and timeless masterpiece, Robert Macfarlane guides us on an exhilarating journey through the mountains: unveiling their awe-inspiring splendor, the exhilaration and danger of adventure, and the peculiar urges that have driven us for centuries to the highest reaches of our planet.
