1946 Mountain Jubilee by Arnold Lunn Antique Mountaineering History Book

Mountain Jubilee
By Arnold Lunn
Published by Eyre & Spottiswoode: London 1946
With Original Unclipped Dustjacket (Chipped)

" Mountain Jubilee is the warm and reflective memoir of Arnold Lunn, one of the twentieth century's most influential mountaineers, ski pioneers, and travel writers. Published during the closing years of the Second World War, the book looks back over decades spent among the mountains of Europe, particularly the Swiss Alps, recounting adventures, friendships, and memorable climbs that helped shape modern alpine sport. Written with Lunn's characteristic wit and enthusiasm, it combines personal reminiscence with a deep appreciation for the beauty and challenge of the high mountains.

Rather than focusing on a single expedition, the volume serves as a celebration of a lifetime devoted to mountaineering and skiing. Lunn recalls the golden age of Alpine exploration, the development of competitive skiing, and encounters with many of the colourful personalities who helped establish winter sports as an international pastime. His narrative captures not only the exhilaration of climbing and skiing but also the unique culture of mountain communities and the enduring appeal of the Alpine landscape.

Issued by Eyre & Spottiswoode in 1946 and retaining its original unclipped dustjacket, Mountain Jubilee remains an engaging record of a remarkable sporting life. The book offers a fascinating glimpse into the formative years of modern mountaineering and skiing, while also reflecting upon a world profoundly changed by war. Today it is sought after by collectors of alpine literature, skiing history, and travel memoirs, as well as readers interested in the development of mountain sports during the first half of the twentieth century."
