McNamee Gregory editor
THE MOUNTAIN WORLD A Literary Journey
San Francisco: Sierra Club. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 2000. First Edition. Hardcover. 0871568985 . Ex-library with mylar cover and usual stamps & stickers - only light wear overall clean & tight. Bookstock campaign sticker on first page. 262 pages. Photo shown is a stock photo not actual book. Book Description: Whether we climb them or view them from afar they continue to pull at us calling us home those mountains. " So writes editor Gregory McNamee in his eloquent Introduction to this compelling new anthology in which he has gathered mountain-inspired literature from sources as varied and far-flung as the peaks themselves. The writings take all manner of literary forms: folktales of the Ashanti and myths of the Aborigines; essays; journals and travelogues of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century travelers; poetry of both ancient and modern times. We hear from familiar voices -- Whitman Muir Dickens Chekhov Conan Doyle -- and from those not so familiar but equally fascinating including Russian naturalist Nikolai Prejevalsky and English "lady" adventurer Isabella Bird. ; 8vo .
