Ascent of The Matterhorn Is Free eBook Of The Day

Originally published in 1880, this is an adventurer’s tale of climbing the Alps. Here is an excerpt from the book: “At Zermatt I wandered in many directions, but the weather was bad, and my work was much retarded. One day, after spending a long time in attempts to sketch near the Hörnli, and in futile endeavours to seize the forms of the peaks as they for a few seconds peered out from above the dense banks of woolly clouds, I determined not to return to Zermatt by the usual path, and to cross the Gorner glacier to the Riffel hotel.”
