Combining accounts of legendary mountain ascents with vivid descriptions of his own forays into wild, high landscapes, Robert McFarlane reveals how the mystery of the world’s highest places has came to grip the Western imagination—and perennially draws legions of adventurers up the most perilous slopes.
His story begins three centuries ago, when mountains were feared as the forbidding abodes of dragons and other mysterious beasts. In the mid-1700s the attentions of both science and poetry sparked a passion for mountains; Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Lord Byron extolled the sublime experiences to be had on high; and by 1924 the death on Mt Everest of an Englishman named George Mallory came to symbolize the heroic ideals of his day. Macfarlane also reflects on fear, risk, and the shattering beauty of ice and snow, the competition and contemplation of the climb, and the strange alternate reality of high altitude, magically enveloping us in the allure of mountains at every level.

評分讀這本書的起因很簡單,近來看瞭很多關於國人境內野外探險不幸罹難的新聞,對於寫新聞的記者的偏見不以為然,想找本書看看關於這方麵的。讀這本書之前去瞭趟青藏高原,於是乎對高山有瞭點感性認識。至少對於書中提到的高原反應,以及高原特産的丁香、紅嘴山鴉等動植物有種親切...

評分在還剩三分之一處棄瞭書,翻譯裏的低級錯誤一籮筐,尼采、盧梭、比利牛斯山這種常識性名詞都可以齣錯(並且沒被校對齣來),讓人很難相信非factual部分的文字能如實錶達原意,也就很難沉下心來看下去。而且平心而論,翻譯準確度不提,這一本的譯者的文字功底明顯不及同係列的《...
