Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Mountains of the Moon "Incidentally this feat of exploration has broken a great tradition. The romance remains; but it is different in kind... All the old legends of inaccessibility are gone. Those distant hills have been traversed and revealed, their secrets published and shown to differ in no way from the secrets of all other earthly mountains... Coldness and sterility abide on those heights, and the traveller in the midst of them discovers those qualities rather than any impression of beauty. Those gaunt masses lack all the colour and vigour of life; the tradition of splendour is proved to be a fraud... Nevertheless we have not lost our romance, it persists more vital and glorious in the story of human achievement. Mankind is passing out of its childhood, and the fairy tales of the nursery must give way to the more virile romances of man´s own endeavour, an endeavour that at the last is expressed in his first and final search for knowledge..."
