In Patagonia (Penguin Classics)

In Patagonia (Penguin Classics)

The masterpiece of travel writing that revolutionized the genre and made its author famous overnight
Â
An exhilarating look at a place that still retains the exotic mystery of a far-off, unseen land, Bruce Chatwinâ€™s exquisite account of his journey through Patagonia teems with evocative descriptions, remarkable bits of history, and unforgettable anecdotes. Fueled by an unmistakable lust for life and adventure and a singular gift for storytelling, Chatwin treks through â€œthe uttermost part of the earthâ€â€”that stretch of land at the southern tip of South America, where bandits were once made welcomeâ€”in search of almost-forgotten legends, the descendants of Welsh immigrants, and the log cabin built by Butch Cassidy. An instant classic upon publication in 1977, In Patagonia is a masterpiece that has cast a long shadow upon the literary world.
