VINTAGE VOYAGES- A world of journeys, from the tallest mountains to the depths of the mind
Vintage Voyages: A world of journeys, from the tallest mountains to the depths of the mindWhen Bruce Chatwin’s In Patagonia was published in 1977 it heralded the arrival of a startling new talent in British literature. All readers recognised its timeless quality – Auberon Waugh went as far as to call it `a classic’.
Chatwin’s brilliantly unique record of his adventures in Patagonia and the fascinating people he meets along the way.
Beautifully written and full of wonderful descriptions and intriguing tales, In Patagonia is an account of Bruce Chatwin's travels to a remote country in search of a strange beast and his encounters with the people whose fascinating stories delay him on the road.

Elliptical and alive, this is a brilliant travel book * Observer *
It is hard to pin down what makes In Patagonia so unique, but, in the end, it is Chatwin’s brilliant personality that makes it what it is… His form of travel was not about getting from A to B. It was about internal landscapes. * Sunday Times *
The chameleon traveller…who wrote books in a genre of their own, and whose life was his own subtlest creation… a complex, flamboyantly gifted and rather tragic figure -- Colin Thubron * Guardian *
