Hiking Up Mt. Fuji Mike Kluger

By aggressively training to climb Mt. Fuji, the author was able to channel the experience so that it was not focused only on the physical challenge. By doing so, he was able to absorb the many facets that make up the mountain. These included the ever changing: animals, birds, flowers, and trees that make Mt. Fuji their home. The author takes the reader through the lush forest at the base, then he circumnavigates around the mountain and finally claws his way up a lunar landscape to the top of Mt. Fuji to witness a breathtaking sunrise. Throughout the book, the author describes the mountain"s colors, sounds, winds, temperatures and the ever changing clouds that pass around it. In this book you will see Mt. Fuji through the author"s eyes and witness the Diamond Fuji that occurs only twice a year and a resplendent Red Fuji that occurs while the sun sets. You will feel the different persona"s of the mountain in winter and spring and begin to sense its calm serenity on a beautiful summer"s day; and its fury during an autumn storm. From this you will come to learn about the Japanese people and how Mt. Fuji has shaped them and the land they live on. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Hiking Up Mt. Fuji (Mike Kluger)
