Description
On this masterpiece of nature writing, Nan Shepherd describes her journeys into the Cairngorm mountains of Scotland. There she encounters a world that may be breathtakingly beautiful every now and then and shockingly harsh at others. Her intense, poetic prose explores and records the rocks, rivers, creatures and hidden aspects of this remarkable landscape., Shepherd spent an entire life looking for the ‘very important nature’ of the Cairngorms; her quest led her to write this classic meditation at the magnificence of mountains, and on our imaginative relationship with the wild world around us. Composed throughout the Second World War, the manuscript of The Living Mountain lay untouched for more than thirty years before it was once after all published.
