"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 anthology of mountaininspired literature from sources as varied and farflung as the peaks themselves.The writings take all manner of literary forms: folktales, myths, essays, travelogues, and poetry of both ancient and modern times. We hear from familiar voicesWhitman, Muir, Chekhov, Conan Doyleand from those not so familiar but equally fascinating, including Russian naturalist Nikolai Prejevalsky and English "lady" adventurer Isabella Bird.The mountain experiences described in these works are enormously varied as well. They range from the powerful altitudeinduced vision of Simn Bolvar atop Mount Chimborazo, to a Victorianera pleasure trip in the Alps as recounted by Mrs. H.W. Cole, to V. K. Arseniev's tale of survival and rescue in a Siberian mountain storm. Yet whether they speak of profound spiritual journeys, easy pleasure trips, or facetoface encounters with death, all these voices are raised in collective celebration of the glories and terrors of the most aweinspiring of Earth's natural treasures.
