«Feuerland» is the short story collection by Chilean writer Francisco Coloane, published by Unionsverlag in hardcover (200 pages, in German).
Stories set in the far south of Chile, bringing together prospectors, divers, ranchers and sailors in isolated channels and islands. The wild nature of Tierra del Fuego acts as both setting and protagonist: a landscape at once beautiful and relentless, from which it is hard to part.
Work originally published as «Tierra del Fuego» in 1956; this 1996 German edition includes the translation by Willi Zurbrüggen. Winner of the Santiago Municipal Literature Prize in 1957.
A title for readers of Latin American short fiction, twentieth-century classics and adventure stories set in Patagonia.
Francisco Coloane Cárdenas was a Chilean novelist and short fiction writer whose works have been translated into many languages. Some of his books were adapted to theatre and film.
