Description
The Living Mountain: A Celebration of the Cairngorm Mountains of Scotland Nan Shepherd's masterpiece of nature writing takes readers on a journey into the breathtakingly beautiful and shockingly harsh world of the Cairngorm mountains. With intense, poetic prose, she explores the rocks, rivers, creatures, and hidden aspects of this remarkable landscape, seeking to capture the 'essential nature' of the mountains. Composed during the Second World War, the manuscript lay untouched for over thirty years before its publication. This meditation on the magnificence of mountains and our imaginative relationship with the wild world around us is a powerful exploration of the human experience. A poignant and thought-provoking work, The Living Mountain is a worthwhile read for anyone who has ever been drawn to the beauty and power of the natural world.
