    Translated by 林建興 ...
    Series series Common
    **  「山是所有自然風景的起點,同時也是終點。」  羅伯特.麥克法倫一舉成名之作**  「聖母峰有我生平僅見最陡峭的稜線和最驚心動魄的懸崖。我心愛的……我沒辦法告訴妳,這座山讓我有多著迷。」這是1921年馬洛里在聖母峰營地上寫給愛妻的家書,幾天後,他在攻頂聖母峰的過程中,在離峰頂不遠的山坡上,永遠消失在一陣突然飄來的濃霧中。  本書就是試圖解釋怎麼會有這種事:一座山如何能夠全然「迷住」一個人?那樣非比尋常的強烈愛慕,如何能夠投注在終究也不過就是岩石和冰所堆起來的龐然大物上?那些父母、子女、丈夫、妻子,為何會把所愛之人輸給了山?這樣的著迷,並非馬洛里所獨有。越是文明、富裕的時代,就有越多人甘願拋棄平地舒適及所愛的一切,忍受各種精神及肉體痛苦,登上幾千公尺的高處。「為何登山?」成了最根本但也最難回答的問題,困惑著無數爬山及不爬山的人。  然而,人類登山,也不過是近代的事。在三個世紀以前 ...
