Présentation de l'éditeur
The masterpiece of travel writing that revolutionized the genre and made its author famous overnight
An exhilarating look at a place that still retains the exotic mystery of a far-off, unseen land, Bruce Chatwin’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 “the uttermost part of the earth”—that stretch of land at the southern tip of South America, where bandits were once made welcome—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.

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. First Edition. A second printing of the true first edition, published in 1978 - just a year after the first publication. With the attractive cover photograph showing the Moreno Glacier, Lago Argentino. Also with the original map endpapers as with the first printing. ***Near fine in blue cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine. Boards clean and unmarked. Head and tail of spine just very slightly creased. Corners sharp. Edges of page block slightly clean - top edge slightly marked. Very slight reading lean to the binding, with a very light vertical reading crease. Spine tight. Internally also near fine with previous ownership marks. Pages clean and bright with no foxing. Pages clean. No creases or tears. ***In a near fine colour illustrated dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of £4.95 net. The dustwrapper has no discernible faults - no creases, chips or tears - just the slightest of fading to the spine. Dustwrapper otherwise bright. ***204 pages. 224mm x 145mm. ***'Charles Bruce Chatwin FRSL (13 May 1940 - 18 January 1989) was an English travel writer, novelist and journalist. His first book, "In Patagonia" (1977), established Chatwin as a travel writer, although he considered himself instead a storyteller, interested in bringing to light unusual tales. He won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for his novel "On the Black Hill" (1982), while his novel "Utz" (1988) was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize. In 2008 The Times ranked Chatwin as number 46 on their list of "50 Greatest British Writers Since 1945". ***'Chatwin spent six months in Patagonia, travelling around gathering stories of people who came from elsewhere and settled there. This trip resulted in the book "In Patagonia" (1977). He used his quest for his own "piece of brontosaurus" (the one from his grandparents' cabinet had been thrown away years earlier) to frame the story of his trip. Chatwin described In Patagonia as "the narrative of an actual journey and a symbolic one. It is supposed to fall into the category or be a spoof of Wonder Voyage: the narrator goes to a far country in search of a strange animal: on his way he lands in strange situations, people or other books tell him strange stories which add up to form a message." "In Patagonia" contains fifteen black and white photographs by Chatwin. According to Susannah Clapp, who edited the book, "Rebecca West amused Chatwin by telling him that these were so good they rendered superfluous the entire text of the book." This work established Chatwin's reputation as a travel writer. One of his biographers, Nicholas Murray, called "In Patagonia" "one of the most strikingly original post-war English travel books" and said that it revitalised the genre of travel writing. (Wiki) ***A near fine second printing of the first edition of Bruce Chatwin's first and most famous published work "In Patagonia". First and second printings of this work are elusive now in collectable condition - strangely, this second printing from 1978 seems to be less common than the 1977 first printing. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. N° de réf. du vendeur 9583

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. 1st Edition. This is a near fine copy of the first edition of Chatwin's first published book, which is remarkably well preserved for one that's now nearly fifty years old. The dark blue cloth-bound boards are in perfect condition: no marks, scratches, dents or bumps; all edges straight, all corners sharp. The gilt title lettering on the spine panel is as bright as new. There is some faint spotting on the top and fore edges of the text block but internally all the pages, including the endpaper maps, are spotless; there are no inscriptions or marks or any other signs of previous ownership. The colours of the famous dust jacket wrap-around photo of the Moreno Glacier remain strong and unfaded and the publisher's original price (£4.95) is intact. There is however, some foxing on the reverse (white) side of the dj which in a few places is very faintly visible on the outward facing side. Please see five photos of this book and you would of course be welcome to ask for more if that would help. N° de réf. du vendeur 190

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. First Edition. An exceptional first impression ("First published 1977), first issue (map endpapers.), without even a degree of fading to the dust jacket spine panel's fugitive colors, of Chatwin's first book. 8vo: [4],204pp, with map frontispiece, and 14 full- and half-page photographs; pictorial dust jacket, priced £4.95. Publisher's navy blue cloth-effect paper-covered boards; jacket with wrap-around photogaph of the Moreno glacier. Fine, tight, and virtually pristine (white speck to rear cover, hint of lightening to spine). The author's "autobiografictional" travelogue, which "both records and imagines the fulfilment of one of Bruce Chatwin's childhood fascinations, namely to retrace the travel adventures of his grandmother's uncle, Charley Milward, seadog, entrepreneur, and globetrotting family legend, who had died in Punta Arenas, Chile. . . . While the narrative, in a staccato series of short sections (numbered from 1 to 97), meanders about in time and space, mixing fiction and fact, the reader encounters the Patagonian present of Chatwin's own visit: Welsh villages complete with gardens and tea-rooms, gauchos, a French soprano, a young pianist who asks complicated questions about Liszt, an elderly German yearning back to the times of Mad King Ludwig, a would-be miner from Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco . . . . The fabulously self-absorbed travelogue launched Chatwin's successful writing career and won him the Hawthornden prize as well as the E. M. Forster award." (The Literary Encyclopedia) N. B.
