Mount Analogue, a novel by René Daumal

René Daumal's Mount Analogue is a twentieth-century classic, combining the author's poetic gifts and philosophical accomplishments in a manner that is both entertaining to read and profound to contemplate. The powerful new translation by Carol Cosman does the metaphysical adventure great justice.

Among other things, this is an allegory for the journey of life, as well as a marvelous tale in which the narrator/author, one of an intrepid company of eight, sets sail in the yacht Impossible to search for Mount Analogue, the solid, geographically located (albeit hidden) peak that reaches inexorably towards heaven-as Mount Olympus reached to the home of the Greek gods, or Mount Sinai to the presence of Yahweh. Daumal, one of the greatest French writers of the twentieth century, died before the novel was completed, providing an uncanny one-way quality to the journey.

"One of the most intriguing poetic reveries of contemporary literature." -ROBERT MALLET, Le Figaro Littéraire

"A marvelous tale ... as transparent and as inexhaustible as Pilgrim's Progress or a New Testament parable. -ROGER SHATTUCK

René Daumal (1908-44), a follower of the teachings of G.I. Gurdjieff, also studied Sanskrit, philosophy, science, mathematics, and medicine. He was an editor of the French poetry and surrealist review Le Grand Jeu and received the Jacques Doucet prize for Le Contre-Ciel, his first volume of poetry. Mount Analogue was first published posthumously, in 1952.

Kathleen Ferrick Rosenblatt is a Doctor of Homeopathy and Oriental Medicine and the author of the biography René Daumal: the Life and Work of a Mystic Guide.
