A nice mid 80s Penguin English language copy of this classic allegorical adventure novel by early 20th-century French novelist René Daumal The story follows the expedition of a mountaineering group who aim to climb Mount Analogue - a huge mountain on a surreal continent, invisible and inaccessible to the outside world, which can only be perceived by the application of obscure knowledge Noted as one of the sources for Jodorowsky's cult film 'The Holy Mountain', it's a bizarre and thrilling tale. Tragically, Daumal died before completing the novel, giving it an emotive, abrupt ending, mid-sentence. The unfinished story was first published in French in 1952 This edition features an introduction by Roger Shattuck Publisher: Penguin Books Publication Date: 1986Binding: PaperbackBook Condition: Very Good 10% of the profits of this sale will go towards The London Music Fund - an independent charity which provides grants to enable children and young people across London to develop their musical potential - https://www.londonmusicfund.org/
