The basis for the new documentary film, Mountain: A Breathtaking Voyage into the Extreme. Combining accounts of legendary mountain ascents with vivid descriptions of his own forays into wild, high landscapes, Robert McFarlane reveals how the mystery of the world's highest places has came to grip the Western imagination--and perennially draws legions of adventurers up the most perilous slopes.
His story begins three centuries ago, when mountains were feared as the forbidding abodes of dragons and other mysterious beasts. In the mid-1700s the attentions of both science and poetry sparked a passion for mountains; Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Lord Byron extolled the sublime experiences to be had on high; and by 1924 the death on Mt Everest of an Englishman named George Mallory came to symbolize the heroic ideals of his day. Macfarlane also reflects on fear, risk, and the shattering beauty of ice and snow, the competition and contemplation of the climb, and the strange alternate reality of high altitude, magically enveloping us in the allure of mountains at every level.

Chic little clutch that makes me feel pulled together
Color: Gold
This woven clutch has become my favorite for dressier outings. I’ve carried it to a dinner party and a night at the orchestra, and both times I got compliments before I even made it to my seat. It holds just enough — phone, lipstick, cards, and keys, without feeling bulky. The woven design looks more expensive than it is, and the clasp feels sturdy and satisfying to click shut. I especially like that it comes with a chain strap, so I can switch from elegant dinner mode to something more relaxed without juggling everything in my hands. My only small gripe is that I wish it came in more colors because now I want one to match every outfit. It’s that perfect mix of classy and practical, with just a hint of sass.
