In a small village in the high Alps, despite superstitions and warnings, the community decides to go to the high mountain pasture. Picturesque landscapes, healing air, juicy grass of alpine meadows - what could be better for the human eye and livestock grazing. However, not everything is so simple. It is not for nothing that local residents have been bypassing that peak by the tenth road for more than twenty years. What happened there once? And what should we watch out for now? Who knows the answer to these questions? And will the security guard inevitably turn away the paper?
In the novel The Great Fear in the Mountains, the Swiss writer Charles Ferdinand Rameau explores the nature of fear, how it originates, what feeds it, how it captures an individual, and then spreads to a community. How he captures more and more people, masters their feelings and controls their actions. Thanks to a special narrative technique reminiscent of the cinema language, the author managed to create a tense action, and the gloomy and at the same time attractive mountain scenery only strengthens the disturbing foreboding of the coming disaster.
