Reflections on Mountaineering: A Journey Through Life as Experienced in the Mountains

By Alan V Goldman

Book Overview

For those who dream of scaling mountains and those who sally forth to conquer them, this readily accessible collection of poetry embodies the risks, the rewards, and the joys of climbing

Written by an avid mountaineer, the poems in Reflections on Mountaineering reveal human reactions to fear and awe, and explore the role of luck, fate, and chance. The poems also deal with the human perception of reality and its underlying nature in the context of the meaning of life itself. Narrative in form, many stories in this eloquent collection are drawn from the author's life, and some are reflections on the experiences of fellow climbers in general.

Encounter the varied aspects of mountaineering and, more importantly, the feelings evoked by striving for success in both the preparation required for mountaineering, and in the attainment of its goals.
