To know them would take forever, to love them demands a kind of courageous surrender.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn\u003ci\u003e The Hidden Fires\u003c\/i\u003e, Merryn Glover undertakes that challenge with Nan Shepherd as companion and guiding light. Following in the footsteps and contours of\u003ci\u003e The Living Mountain\u003c\/i\u003e, she explores the same landscapes and themes as Shepherd's seminal work. This is a journey separated by time but unified by space and purpose, a conversation between two women across nearly a century that explores how entering the life of a mountain can illuminate our own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn Australian who grew up in the Himalayas, her early experiences of the Scottish hills and weather left her cold. But gradually acclimatising and with an approach like Shepherd's, that is more mountain wandering than mountaineering, she discovers the spark that sets the hills and herself on fire. Through Glover's deepening encounter, the wild majesty and iridescence of the Cairngorms is revealed in this beautiful evocation of landscape, place and identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u0026amp;#x27;Merryn Glover's\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Hidden Fires\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eis not just brave, it is remarkable.\u0026amp;#x27;-Sir John Lister-Kaye\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46857114288286,"sku":"ADS-9781846975998","price":22.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781846975998.jpg?v=1779154870","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781846975998","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
