«Patagonia Revisited» is the travel book by Bruce Chatwin and Paul Theroux, published by Houghton Mifflin in hardcover (62 pages, in English).
This work originates from an evening at the Royal Geographical Society and explores how Patagonia, since Magellan, has functioned as a metaphor for the end of the world. Chatwin and Theroux evoke travelers and stories linked to W. H. Hudson, Joshua Slocum and Butch Cassidy to discuss exile and literary imagination.
First American edition (1986), illustrated by Kyffin Williams and with a final bibliography on pages 61-62.
For readers of travel literature and followers of Chatwin or Theroux, especially their works on Patagonia.
Charles Bruce Chatwin was an English travel writer, novelist and journalist. His first book, In Patagonia (1977), established Chatwin as a travel writer, although he considered himself instead a storyteller, interested in bringing to light unusual tales. He won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for his novel On the Black Hill (1982), while his novel Utz (1988) was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. In 2008 The Times ranked Chatwin as number 46 on their list of "50 Greatest British Writers Since 1945".
