About This Item
Granta Books 2000 (1st UK). 1st Edition . Soft cover. Fine. Scarce uncorrected proof copy in proof d/w. Above the pastures of Switzerland, it was believed, dragons and ghosts inhabited the realms of ice and snow. No one in their right mind considered climbing into the Alps--and certainly not for pleasure. When the British came on the scene, mountain-climbing as an obsession, an art form, and a sport was born. Full of the imperial confidence that had already conquered so much of Asia and Africa, Britons set out to plant their flag on every peak in the Alps. Fine in proof d/w.
