Conrad Kain is a titan amongst climbers in Canada and is well-known
in mountaineering circles all over the world. His letters to Amelie
Malek-a life-long friend-offer a candid view into the deepest
thoughts of the Austrian mountain guide, and are a perfect
complement to his autobiography, Where the Clouds Can Go. The 144
letters provide a unique and personal view of what it meant to
immigrate to Canada in the early part of the twentieth century.
Kain's letters are ordered chronologically with annotations,
keeping the sections in English untouched, while those in German
have been carefully translated. Historians and mountain culture
enthusiasts worldwide will appreciate Kain's genius for
description, his passion for nature, his opinions, and his musings
about his life.
