Description

Introduction by Robert Macfarlane. Epilogue by Jeanette Winterson. In the masterpiece of nature writing, Nan Shepherd describes her journeys in the Cairngorm Mountains of Scotland. There, she encounters a world that can be astonishingly beautiful at times and shockingly harsh at others. Her intense, poetic writing explores and documents the rocks, rivers, creatures, and hidden aspects of this remarkable landscape. Shepherd devoted a lifetime to seeking the 'essential nature' of the Cairngorms, a quest that led her to write this classic reflection on the grandeur of the mountains and our imaginative relationship with the wild world around us. Written during World War II, the manuscript of The Living Mountain remained unpublished for more than thirty years before finally being published.
