Edizione: a copy with fine provenance. along with being president of the alpine club the author was also an accomplished poet and he brings a poet's sensibilities to this continuous account of the great ascents made by him in the alps. it conveys the ever-changing charms of the alps themselves along with the changing outlook of the mountaineer.
