Publisher Description
'The book that redefined travel writing' Guardian
Bruce Chatwin sets off on a journey through South America in this wistful classic travel book
With its unique, roving structure and beautiful descriptions, In Patagonia offers an original take on the age-old adventure tale. Bruce Chatwin’s journey to a remote country in search of a strange beast brings along with it a cast of fascinating characters. Their stories delay him on the road, but will have you tearing through to the book’s end.
‘It is hard to pin down what makes In Patagonia so unique, but, in the end, it is Chatwin’s brilliant personality that makes it what it is… His form of travel was not about getting from A to B. It was about internal landscapes’ Sunday Times
Customer Reviews
In Patagonia
This book, if true, is fantastic. In fact it would be fantastic even if it were all made up. I found it incredible that a man could have done all the walking, talking, and research that Chatwin did in such a forlorn part of the World, and keep a dry sense of humour throughout. The eighty or so short stories all kind of tie together, like a song, to make one terrific big story.
