Mountains of the Mind: A History of a Fascination
by Robert Macfarlane
Truly wonderful writing - Macfarlane explores the draw the high places have for some people in a kind of quasi-history of the activity of mountaineering interspersed with personal reminiscences and culminating in a detailed account of Mallory’s expeditions to Everest (including his ill-fated final expedition). Macfarlane is clearly passionate about his subject and has an ear for a well-turned phrase. One of those non-fiction books which transcends its subject.
