It's a pity Rene Daumal left his body before he was able to finish this amazing analogy. It's brilliant and full of life, invigorating to read and inspiring. Even unfinished, I highly recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Mount Analogue appears diminutive at first then larger as you approach.... False summits lead you on.
Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2015

Friends:

The leader of the Mountaineering expedition to Mount Analogue - " Father Sogol " is the word " Logos " spelled backwards. In other words the Logos leads you to the summit of the mysterious mountain that unites Heaven and Earth.

The word " Heaven " means pure intellect while " Earth " is sensory perception according to the Allegorical writings of Philo Judeas of Alexandria.

I have continued the story of Mount Analogue started by Rene' Daumal who died while writing this book as it simply ends in mid-sentance. No one has made an attempt to continue the story until 1994 and I did not finish the story so that someone else could pick up the pen for Rene' Daumal and Arthur von Boennighausen some day.

Google my name and Mount Analogue to read my continuation of this story.......

Some will be disappointed in the ending, but I have always treasured the fact that the ending pulls the reader into the novel in a way that the reader cannot avoid. I also found the prologue of Daumal's collected notes to be essential for understanding the novel.

This book first touched me—very deeply—thirty years ago, and over the years I've since bought over a dozen to give to friends as a special gift. I'm surprised (and not surprised) it is continually in and out of print. It has become an essential companion in my life.

5.0 out of 5 stars this has much more substance than most new-agy disgusting and lame bland cookies
Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2015

Somewhat esoteric, arcane little book that I heard of many decades ago and finally got.
Know who is Fellini? Castaneda? Joseph Campbell? if yes, then by all means, this is for you.
If you are interested in the path, this has much more substance than most new-agy disgusting and lame bland cookies.
The author did not finish the book, he died. It is up to you to "complete" it.

Road To Holy

Mount Analogue is a book that has, unfortunately, dropped out of sight. But if you are a seeker and want a new way to appreciate the infinite in front of your eyes, you will marvel at this little gem.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just about an average read....
Reviewed in India on April 24, 2019
Verified Purchase
I had heard a lot about this book. But I found it a very average reading. There were short spells in the book that felt as though the author had gained momentum and made a lot of sense; but most of it was just about average. I think the book gained more popularity for the fact that the author passed away before he could complete the book and that lead to a lot of speculation on what the book ending would be like.
