“Mount Analogue”—an unfinished philosophical novel published in 1952, six years after the death of its author, René Domal—is a landmark book. Popular in the American counterculture of the 1960s, this story of a reckless expedition is a journey toward an inner and infinite summit.
The author takes the position that myth is truth. Supposedly, there exists a sacred center of the world—a sacred mountain that opens the possibility of communicating with the afterlife. Having assembled an expedition to discover this Mount Analogue, which had until then remained inaccessible to mere mortals, René Domal recounts this dizzying ascent in the form of an adventure story.
