Biographie de l'auteur

Vincent Cronin, son of the Scottish novelist, A J Cronin is a doyen of English letters. His book The Last Migration of a generation ago, which won the Heinemann Award, was based on his own journey with the Gashgai of southern Iran. He widened his reputation with his outstanding biographies of Christianity's first missionaries to India (A Pearl to India: the Life of Roberto de Nobili) and to China (The Wise Man from the West: Matteo Ricci and his Mission to China), and a range of later biographies.

Présentation de l'éditeur

A geologist, a microbiologist and a town planner take a journey into strange regions of Chile's secret heart. They are exposed to astonishing landscapes and species, and encounter a variety of Chile s indigenous inhabitants. They are, respectively, a Chilean ex-fugitive from the Pinochet regime, a Frenchman, and an Englishman, who represents Cronin and reproduces the author s Chilean journey in a semi-fictionalised form.
