FORMLonger than Kilimanjaro has existed, people have been living
in this region. The mountain gained worldwide recognition and
fame through its popularization by Hemingway and Hollywood. This
largest free-standing mountain in the world is usually known on
the basis of a picture showing only one section: snow-covered
Kibo. By contrast, this book, which is the result of a climbing
expedition, aims at showing different views in its abundant pictorial
material (also useful as preparation for a climb), illustrating
the settlement and the cultural achievements, the mythology, the
language of the first climbers, the modern developments in the
region, the languages and names of the landscapes, the education,
food, as well as the social consequences of the climbing and the
reception of Kilimanjaro in the sciences and arts.
