Hunt describes the climbing of Everest as a symbol of humanity’s true spirit and a revelation of the power to overcome great difficulties. He emphasizes the spiritual and communal impact of the event, links it to a broader yearning for answers to modern problems, and explains why the Everest story naturally takes poetic form.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/","Story

been seen bymany as a symbol,a vision of man's truespirit,a revelation of the power which is givento man to overcome great difficulties when heaims high,not merely in the material,but alsoin the spiritual sense.The event has stirredsomething which rests deep within the humanbreast.  \nThat this should be so,is symptomatic of thesickness of our community;of the greatyearning among people in every land for ananswer to the problems,less lofty but morepressing,which beset the world today.Thusinterpreted,it is but natural that the storyof Everest should have been translated fromcold prose and photography into poetry and  \n1  \npainting.To those who took part in the ascentof Everest over the years this phenomenon hascome as a surprise;knowing ourselves,we feelunworthy to have been called to play this partin human affairs far beyond our own ambitionsor expectations.Yet we have within ourmemories,undimmed,the scenes upon thestage of our adventure and the sensations weexperienced.We recognize these scenes andthese sensations when they are truly depictedby others.This poem by Ian Serraillier is atrue and moving interpretation of the facts andthe spirit of the ascent of Everest.  \nJoHN HUNT  \nCamberley4th January 1955  \nvi","cbCaisqtIAjUASc4","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisqtIAjUASc4","pdf",3116537,76,"English","# Foreword\n## Purpose and meaning of
