Book Description

Excerpt from The History of a Mountain Without knowing exactly whither my steps were lead ing me, I turned towards those great mountains whose jagged crests I beheld breaking the distant line of the horizon. Ou I went, following by-paths, and in the evening stopping before isolated inns. The sound of a human voice, the noise of a footstep, made me shudder; but when I was walking alone I listened with melancholy pleasure to the birds singing, the river murmuring, and the thousand strains proceeding from the vast woods.
