La croda bianca

Year: 1993 Pages: 204 The Croda Bianca is a beautiful mountain and the novel tells the story of mountaineering in allegorical form. The first to climb the Croda Bianca are a shepherd and a hunter. The history of a family of valley dwellers is intertwined with the history of the Croda, which will become the symbol of all the mountains. The construction of a new refuge will bring the first mountaineering clients to the valley and the opening of new itineraries. But finally the mass assault on the mountains with cable cars, ski lifts and large hotels will break respect for nature, its rhythms and its rules and at the same time man's moral values will be lost. The Croda Bianca, violated and desecrated, will "take revenge" on man to affirm its natural integrity.
