With plates & 2 maps (1 frontispiece, 1 endpaper). A very nice copy in a near fine dustwrapper. The author's first book, reissued only once in its original format. The first printing is from 1977 but this second printing from 1978 is harder to find than the first impression. There is also a second printing from the travel book club with a different logo on the spine. This copy is from Jonathan Cape.

Deze tweede druk uit 1978 van het eerste boek van Chatwin is moeilijker te vinden dan de eerste druk uit 1977. Er bestaat ook een 2e druk van The Travel Book Club dat erg lijkt op deze uitgave maar het logo dat op de rug staat van boek en stofomslag is als je nauwkeurig kijkt heel anders.

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.
