The Evidence of Things Not Seen

W.H. Murray's autobiography delves into his transformative journey as a mountaineer, writer, and environmentalist. His passion for climbing began in his twenties but was interrupted by World War II, during which he endured three years as a Nazi prisoner of war. These challenging years led him to profound philosophical reflections and the remarkable feat of writing his seminal work, Mountaineering in Scotland, twice on toilet paper. The narrative intertwines his outdoor experiences with the resilience and creativity fostered during his captivity.
