"Great Fear on the Mountain" is a 1926 novel by Swiss writer Charles Ferdinand Ramuz, translated from French by Bill Johnston. The story revolves around an impoverished mountain village that decides to use a high-up pasture, despite the lore of a terrible fate that befell a group of townsfolk there 20 years earlier. As six men and a 13-year-old boy ascend to the pasture with provisions and cows, they face their own horrors, including sickness decimating the cattle and a strange accident resulting in a man shooting his hand off. Ramuz's novel explores themes of the insignificance of human life and the force of superstition, leading to an earthshattering finale. [Extracted from the article]
