IN PATAGONIA by Bruce Chatwin

An absolute classic travel book. This is a used book in good but aging condition: shows only light wear but pages are browning with age, cover shows general age. See photos for cover blurb, sample pages and condition - enjoy!

Publishers blurb: Bruce Chatwin (1940-1989) was, for much of his short life, obsessed with the idea of nomadism, feeling that restlessness is encoded into human DNA. His first book, IN PATAGONIA, is a most unorthodox travel book (a designation Chatwin disliked), a picaresque chronicle of his own wanderings through the wildest parts of South America. Chatwin writes lyrically about the landscapes, the history, and most of all the vast variety of people he meets, whom he describes in evocative, impressionistic vignettes that are not unlike short stories. Chatwin's odd, fanciful, perhaps not always literally true, but very appealing little book has become an unexpected classic of travel literature.
