## Description

The cult classic allegory of a man's search for enlightenment and self-knowledge by the French poet and literary critic. In Mount Analogue , Rene Daumal introduces readers to an anonymous protagonist much like himself: a young author who travels in the literary circles of mid-20th century Paris. When the author is reminded of an article he once wrote about the symbolism of mountains in ancient mythologies, his speculation about "the ultimate symbolic mountain" sets him on a journey to discover it. The narrator/author sets sail in the yacht Impossible to search for Mount Analogue, the geographically located, albeit hidden, peak that reaches inexorably toward heaven. Daumal's symbolic mountain represents a way to truth that "cannot not exist," and his classic allegory of man's search for himself embraces the certainty that one can know and conquer one's own reality.

Review: Maddening and brilliant - Mountains, am I right? Great read and has the potential to change your outlook on the world.
Review: electrifying & delicious - It's a pity Rene Daumal left his body before he was able to finish this amazing analogy. It's brilliant and full of life, invigorating to read and inspiring. Even unfinished, I highly recommend it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ if you can see this mountain you are already called to it
*by B***Y on December 18, 2024*

I don't even understand this book yet, but towards the end of my first reading of it I openly wept. If you are called to read this, then perhaps you are beginning to see.
