Nan Shepherd's aimless, sensual exploration of the Cairngorms is bracingly different -- ROBERT MACFARLANE [A] masterpiece of Scottish writing -- Anita Sethi * * Observer * * A masterpiece . Moisture in the air is also the cause of those shifts in the apparent size, remoteness, and height in the sky of familiar hills. The finest book ever written on nature and landscape in Britain * * Guardian * * Most works of mountain literature are written by men, and most of them focus on the goal of the summit.

It is in this last chapter that the word "Buddhism" gets mentioned for the first and last time, but its presence is there throughout, especially if you are aware of mountains' role in Buddhist history. Zo subtiel in al haar waarnemingen, heel herkenbaar, het brengt al die keren in mijn leven dat ik liep in de Schotse bergen terug.Shepherd's writing conveys wonder in the face of these mountains because she was comfortable with uncertainty. Charmed Life arrives in an explosion of magic in this edition illustrated by Alison Bryant and introduced by Katherine Rundell. The story opens with the narrator and his online bookclub friend Maansi, two people who only interact on books and know little else of each other, discussing possible themes for the next year’s reading. In time, as the Antropoi climb, some among the conquered tribes start to conquer and achieve domination over their own.

In this masterpiece of nature writing, Nan Shepherd describes her journeys into the Cairngorm mountains of Scotland.To mark Folio’s 75th anniversary, Michael Ende’s The Neverending Story is published as a magical new edition, beautifully illustrated by award-winning artist Marie-Alice Harel and bursting with exquisite design details. Ghosh describes how “A great orgy of bloodletting filled our Valley, bringing slaughter and destruction on a scale far beyond that which the Anthropoi had inflicted on us in the past. Amongst the greatest works of nature writing to come out of Britain -- Chitra Ramaswamy * * Scotsman * * Reading [The Living Mountain] seems to me to explain why reading is so important. Her intense, poetic prose explores and records the rocks, rivers, creatures and hidden aspects of this remarkable landscape. Scottish artist Rose Strang has a particular interest in landscape and cultural history, largely working in response to Scottish landscape.
