Synopsis
Patagonia - the name calls to mind giants and outlaws, Magellan's dog-headed monsters, natives whose heads steam when they eat pudding. Called 'the uttermost part of the Earth', Patagonia is the stretch of land at the southern tip of South America. Bruce Chatwin's account of his own Quest or Wonder Voyage through this strange region put him on the map as one of the finest travel writers of the last century.

Review
Fascinated by Patagonia since an early childhood lust for Grandma's scrap of hairy Giant Sloth skin, Chatwin's also intrigued by odd miners and the log cabin built by Butch Cassidy in Cholila. In 1977 the London Observer called it "a brilliant travel book," and while Chatwin's no longer alive (he died in 1989), his book still glows. From Rio Negro to the southernmost town of Ushuaia, Chatwin depicts all in writing as spare as the Patagonian desert itself, and as vibrant as the purple clouds off Last Hope Sound.
About the Author
