"Exploring your inner world is a form of resistance. Finding and identifying the structures of your inner world, structures that no one can steal, destroy, or sell is a form of resistance. This book empowered me. It really did. It felt like reading a book found in a dream, and then somehow brought into waking life." |
A spiritual allegory of ascent, where words are ladders between worlds guiding the reader through their inner worlds. 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."
