Mount Analogue: A Novel of Symbolically Authentic Non-Euclidean Adventures in Mountain Climbing

René Daumal’s classic allegory of man’s search for himself embraces the certainty that one can know and conquer one’s own reality.

In this novel, the narrator sets sail in the yacht Impossible to search for Mount Analogue, the geographically located, albeit hidden, peak that reaches inexorably toward heaven—a way to truth that “cannot not exist."

Mount Analogue is not just a story of adventure; it's a profound exploration of the human spirit and its relentless pursuit of truth. Daumal's masterful storytelling and rich symbolism make this a timeless novel that continues to inspire and captivate readers.

Join the journey to Mount Analogue and discover a world where the boundaries of reality are stretched, and the quest for meaning is eternal.

“Keep your eye fixed on the way to the top, but don't forget to look right in front of you. The last step depends on the first. Don't think you're there just because you see the summit. Watch your footing, be sure of the next step, but don't let that distract you from the highest goal. The first step depends on the last.” —René Daumal
