Excerpt from The Spirit of the Matterhorn Let us for a moment revert to this orthodox theory as illustrated by a man inhabiting a house. Is the Soul as independent of its domicile, the body, as the simile shows the man to be of his house? On the contrary, do we not plainly see that it is dependent on it in every possible way? Demolish the body, shall we say? Well, since no Soul has ever come back to tell us that it has gone on its way rejoicing, we can base no argument upon that. But damage the body. What is the result if a man receives a violent blow on the head? The consequence is a temporary annihilation of his individuality; loss of consciousness is the inevitable result, in which what is called the Soul stops like a clock. N ow, if this Soul be a separate and distinct vitality from the body, where in this event has it betaken itself? Why should it be thus affected by the damage done to the body of which it is said notto be a part? If the blow is a severe one, the man may become an idiot. But what, I ask, becomes an idiot if it be not his consciousness, his Soul - that which you term his individuality? In a letter formally addressed to me in the course of a public discussion, which arose through my having openly expressed my opinions on these matters in Buenos Ayres, South America, my opponent, who styled himself Ichthus.

A classic event in mountaineering history, dramatically retold by a classic mountaineer • Ascending the Matterhorn was the 19th century equivalent of standing on Mars • A great historical story of tension and drama • Author is uniquely qualified to delve into Whymper’s complicated personality As Fall of Heaven begins, we join professional mountain guide Jean-Antoine Carrel as he tries and fails, again and again, to summit the Matterhorn—one of the most famous and iconic peaks in the Alps. Is it the “Devil’s mountain,” as the locals call it? Should he heed the village priest who warned that its summit was not meant to be climbed? Carrel is undeterred, he just needs capable climbers to join him. Enter Edward Whymper, who in 1861 at the age of 21 decided—unbeknownst to Carrel—that he would be the first to climb the Matterhorn. So the storyline is set, except that where Carrel is captivating, Whymper is utterly unsympathetic as an adventurer. He is mean and disdainful of guides, describing them as little more than porters who eat and drink too much. Despite this attitude, Whymper’s quest leads him inexorably into partnership with Carrel. The story follows their many attempts to find a route to the top of the Matterhorn, but then fate pulls them apart just as Whymper finds the line. His successful summit on July 14, 1865, in which Carrel did not take part, shocked the Victorian world with both awe and revulsion as four members of Whymper’s party died in frightening falls. Famed climber and author Reinhold Messner acknowledges that Whymper was the first man to summit the Matterhorn, the last of the great Alpine peaks to be climbed and representing the beginning of an age of alpinism based on difficulty rather than conquest. But rather than leaving a hero’s legacy, Whymper is revealed as the Captain Ahab of alpinism, a team leader who accepted no responsibility for the deaths of his teammates. Fall of Heaven is an exciting tale and an examination of the different types of men who were caught up in the adventuring spirit of the Victorian age, and the ironic fates that can follow success or failure.
