Book excerpt: Inédits du célèbre Mallory " Une masse triangulaire incongrue a surgi des profondeurs ; son côté se perdait dans les nuages. Très progressivement, nous avons vu apparaître les flancs d'une grande montagne, ses glaciers et ses arêtes, tantôt un éclat, tantôt un autre à travers les échancrures mouvantes, jusqu'à ce que, bien plus haut dans le ciel que ce que l'imagination avait osé suggérer, apparaisse le sommet blanc de l'Everest. C'était comme la création la plus folle d'un rêve. " En 1921, un homme marche vers l'Himalaya, fasciné. Il est le premier Occidental à approcher le plus haut sommet du monde, à le décrire, à le photographier, et à s'élever sur ses pentes. Cet homme, c'est George Mallory. Britannique, dandy, courageux dans l'effort et l'inconfort, il est alpiniste par passion, écrivain et artiste par vocation : " Les alpinistes n'admettent aucune différence sur le plan émotionnel entre l'alpinisme et l'Art. Ils prétendent que quelque chose de sublime est l'essence même de l'alpinisme. Ils peuvent comparer l'appel des cimes à une mélodie merveilleuse, et la comparaison n'est pas ridicule. " Mallory écrivait. Ses textes racontent au plus intime ce que fut l'exploration exaltante de l'Everest jusqu'à ce 8 juin 1924 où il disparut sur les dernières pentes du Toit du monde, qu'il fut peut-être le premier à atteindre. Et où son corps momifié a été découvert le 1er mai 1999. Tous les écrits de George Mallory sont rassemblés pour la première fois dans ces pages : textes de réflexion, récits d'ascension, lettres à sa femme Ruth, jusqu'au dernier message confié à un Sherpa...

Download or read book Journal de l ascension du Mont Blanc written by Horace Benedict de Saussure and published by Guerin édition. This book was released on 2017-01-12 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Précis, complet, détaillé, ce journal raconte l'histoire d'une conquête... Alors qu'il passa presque inaperçu à sa parution en 1926, le Journal de Saussure étonne aujourd'hui par sa modernité. Précis, complet, détaillé, il raconte l'histoire d'une conquête : la troisième ascension du Mont-Blanc à la fin du XVIIIe siècle. Il permet de suivre la vie quotidienne d'un homme de 47 ans, obsédé par cette cime depuis sa jeunesse. S'agit-il d'un journal, d'un compte-rendu scientifique, d'un éblouissement esthétique ou d'un rêve d'adolescent ? Saussure aura mis 26 ans pour concrétiser son rêve, entrepris une dizaine de tentatives infructueuses et mobilisé tout ce que la vallée comporte de bons connaisseurs du massif. Ce texte, présenté comme le journal d'un savant, est le premier vrai récit d'alpinisme.

Download or read book Letters of a Peruvian Woman written by Françoise de Graffigny and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2009-01-08 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'It has taken me a long time, my dearest Aza, to fathom the cause of that contempt in which women are held in this country ...' Zilia, an Inca Virgin of the Sun, is captured by the Spanish conquistadores and brutally separated from her lover, Aza. She is rescued and taken to France by Déterville, a nobleman, who is soon captivated by her. One of the most popular novels of the eighteenth century, the Letters of a Peruvian Woman recounts Zilia's feelings on her separation from both her lover and her culture, and her experience of a new and alien society. Françoise de Graffigny's bold and innovative novel clearly appealed to the contemporary taste for the exotic and the timeless appetite for love stories. But by fusing sentimental fiction and social commentary, she also created a new kind of heroine, defined by her intellect as much as her feelings. The novel's controversial ending calls into question traditional assumptions about the role of women both in fiction and society, and about what constitutes 'civilization'.
