About this product

Product Information

In this masterpiece of nature writing, Nan Shepherd describes her journeys into the Cairngorm mountains of Scotland. There she encounters a world that can be breathtakingly beautiful at times and shockingly harsh at others. Her intense, poetic prose explores and records the rocks, rivers, creatures and hidden aspects of this remarkable landscape. Shepherd spent a lifetime in search of the 'essential nature' of the Cairngorms; her quest led her to write this classic meditation on the magnificence of mountains, and on our imaginative relationship with the wild world around us. Composed during the Second World War, the manuscript of The Living Mountain lay untouched for more than thirty years before it was finally published.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Yodel destroyed my comic, by forcing it through the letterbox. The seller responded right away and send out my refund. In any case, the comic arrived quickly and was packed well- he just used such force AND folded the card board envelope, it didn’t stand a chance! Thank you for the refund and your kindness 👍 will buy from you again

    A unique insight.

    A completely unique insight into the relationship between the individual and the mountain. The author's descriptions are perceptive and beautifully drawn. This book is a refreshing change from the target driven accounts of adventure. Anyone who has spent time alone in the hills will immediately identify and empathise with the author. Anyone who hasn't will gain a fascinating insight.

  • The Living Mountain by Nan Shepherd

    Read it once and will now immediately read again - not a book to rush or skim, Shepherd's prose is by turns brittle and terse and then lyrical and dense. It's part geography, part autobiography part self exploration - the kind of musing all mountain goers indulge in when considering the effect of mountains on the human spirit but given extra impact by Shepherd's obvious infatuation with the Cairngorms in all its moods. A travelogue of the mind and mountain, I shall treasure this slim volume as a springboard into how we might rediscover why we climb in the age of Strava and facebook etc

  • lyrical contemplation on experiencing mountains

    If your idea of a book concerning mountains is man's struggle to 'Conquer' them, then this isn't for you. If you want a poetic & philosophical rumination on the nature, effect, & elation of simply spending time wandering abroad in mountains this book is for you. It's a triumph from every aspect...
