The book - one of the few "big" novels being produced today - is a mosaic of observations and reflections, discussions and arguments, incidents and episodes, brief sketches and portraits which coalesce into a picture of a large industrial combine. The Austrian firm of Minerals, Metals & Chemicals is involved in international trade and exhibits the features common to the gigantic industrial and commercial firms that dominate the Western world today. Whether it be the struggle for national contracts, board-room infighting, the closing-down of factories and the commercial, political and human considerations involved, the economics of renting a large new mainframe computer, or the costs involved in maintaining the information network necessary for business deals in the United States, the episodes around which the main character's reflections crystallize are the everyday stuff of the world of industry.

A remarkable firsthand view of a lost culture in all its simplicity and violence by renowned writer Peter Matthiessen (1927 to 2014), author of the National Book Award–winning The Snow Leopard and the novel In Paradise. In the Baliem Valley in central New Guinea live the Kurelu, a Stone Age tribe that survived into the twentieth century. Peter Matthiessen visited the Kurelu with the Harvard-Peabody Expedition in 1961 and wrote Under the Mountain Wall as an account not of the expedition, but of the great warrior Weaklekek, the swineherd Tukum, U-mue and his family, and the boy Weake, killed in a surprise raid. Matthiessen observes these people in their timeless rhythm of work and play and war, of gardening and wood gathering, feasts and funerals, pig stealing and ambushes. Drawing on his great skills as a naturalist and novelist, Matthiessen offers an exceptional account of an ancient culture on the brink of incalculable change.
