1st edition. 1st printing. Near fine cloth copy in a very good, somewhat edge-nicked and dust-dulled dust wrapper with minor loss, now mylar-sleeved. Remains particularly and surprisingly well-preserved overall; tight, bright, clean and strong Review: A scrap of hairy skin once sent home by cousin Charley Millward the Sailor - part of an extinct Giant Sloth - takes Bruce Chatwin On an inquiring journey through Patagonia, land of last refuge and lingering mystery at the tip of South America. An impromptu traveler, he looks in on Welsh colonists with pottery pugs on the mantle and an elderly German who toasts Mad ("In my home? No!") King Ludwig; meets a young pianist who asks "complicated questions" about Liszt; looks up the French pretender to the lost throne of Araucania (a forebear learned of the untamed Araucanian Indians through Voltaire); picks up a would-be miner from Haight-Ashbury; and repeatedly crosses Butch Cassidy's exile trail. The encounters and anecdotes, laconically recounted - Chatwin is a clear, direct, wry observer - lengthen into informed speculations on the origin of The Ancient Mariner and the ancestry of Caliban. Chatwin, like the reconnoitering Naipaul, also catches the political drift - of, for one, a 1920-21 Anarchist rebellion led by a "lanky, red-headed Gallician, with the. . . squinting blue eyes that go with Celtic vagueness and fanaticism" who graduated from prop boy for an acting troupe. But it is when he crosses over into Tierra del Fuego - The Land of Fire - that the account really grabs hold. On hand are an Englishwoman traveling the world with one light suitcase and one long dress ("You never know where you'll end up") in pursuit of her passion for flowering shrubs, shades of Darwin and Poe and the wild Fuegians who appalled them both, and cousin Charley himself - his shipwreck, his picaresque tales, and his cave of skin and bones where "the extinct beast merged with the living beast and the beast of the imagination." An elliptical, insinuating quest and highly imaginative travel writing. Physical description[4], 204 p., [8] p. of plates : ill., 1 map. ; 23 cm. Notes; Map on lining papers.

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.

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.
