Isoipse

Year: 2005 Pages: 166 The mountains experienced as a man among men, alone, but in constant openness to encounters, to participatory reflection, to that ability to strengthen oneself in the relationship with altitude, fatigue, the sense of solitude and that of conquest. And in all this, realizing that the mountain, day after day, enters your blood, fixes itself in your thoughts, nourishing them with the sublime moments experienced on the face, in bivouacs at high altitude, in contact with a multifaceted nature that opens up to the sense of the infinite. A cultured writing - full of illuminating mountaineering and literary quotes - and at the same time plain, light and engaging, always pleasantly personal, sometimes magnificently intimate, telling us about the human soul on the paths of vertigo.
