In Patagonia by Bruce Chatwin

In Patagonia is Bruce Chatwin’s first book and a classic of 1970s travel writing. Beginning with a piece of “brontosaurus skin” in his grandmother’s cabinet, it unfolds into a meandering journey through South America to Patagonia.

Chatwin brings a keen observer’s eye to the people, histories and stories he encounters. A rewarding choice for readers who enjoy literary travel writing and journeys beyond the familiar.

This secondhand Picador paperback was published in 1977 and is in very good condition.
