Synopsis
"Drawing from the Mountain" is a powerfully illustrated journey through a lifetime of mountain experiences, from childhood to fatherhood, in the Canadian Rockies. Using words, artwork and photography, Lorne Perry reveals a life lived at times on the edge and sometimes over the edge, as he overcomes the shock of mountaineering accidents and an attack by a grizzly bear to wander the high places again. Perry carries a camera and dog-eared sketchbook on hikes, climbs and ski-mountaineering ascents, hoping to capture the essence of what really has become a place in his heart. Comparing himself to a musician, he sees his rough sketches, paintings and photographs as instruments; this book is the composition. In "Drawing from the Mountain," readers who have spent time in the Rockies, or any wild place, will find a deep resonance and music to touch the soul.

À propos de l'auteur
Lorne Perry has lived near the Rocky Mountains since he came west in a largish wicker basket at the age of three and a half months. The prairie coulees, riverbanks and foothills were his playground until, as a young man, he took a wild gamble and signed up for a rock-climbing school. Things were never the same after that. With a degree in fine arts and subsequent training in design, Perry has worked variously as an archeological photographer in Ethiopia, an artist in Bermuda and, for the last 18 years, as an exhibit designer in Calgary. In addition to his extensive experience as a climber and ski mountaineer, Perry is a certified diver, Nordic ski instructor and ardent sea kayaker.

The small drawing on page 130 of this 143 page volume shows insects (bees ?) being attrated to aclimbing rope. At the other end of the scale, the next page is a colour photo of a climber on Castle Mountain with the Trans-Canada Highway in the far-away background. Read more about : Running Rain Lake, Mount Yamnuska, Jom Tanner, Morley Flats, moraine, alpine fir, pitons, coyote, ground squirrel, limestone, Verdant Creek, Ekhardt Grassman, and Plain of Six Glaciers. The author was an arts major when he discovered climbing. Hence you'll find the spirit of both on these pages. Cond : Boards are blue-grey with silver gilt lettering at spine. End-papers are brown with a drawing of two boots. D.J. is burgundy. Front cover amalgamates three pieces of art and two photographs - one of Lorne. Volume is in ALL senses crispy, collectible and almost giftable ! ! Clean and bright. Quote (p. 62) : " Now, I am not a hunter, and would never take a life in the name of expedience or entertainment. But the grim reality is, at the back country hostel where I work, a grizzly bear has been pillaging the dumpster. I am deeply concerned that ._._._. ." Size: Octavo. N° de réf. du vendeur 011105
