The Mountain World

An extraordinary collection of mountain writing, spanning five continents,
2,500 years, and numerous genres including folktales, myths, journals, essays,
and poetry. 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 new anthology, in which he has
gathered mountain-inspired literature from sources as varied and far-flung as
the peaks themselves.
