In this selection of pieces, Bruce Chatwin brings together portraits, interviews and travel writing: conversations with André Malraux and Nadezhda Mandelstam, the search for the yeti in Nepal, his arrest during a coup in Benin, and Indira Gandhi's India. A journey through the extraordinary that reflects his idea of life as a path.
Considered his final book, it is the personal selection of pieces that Chatwin assembled during the last year of his life.
For readers of travel literature and non-fiction who want to discover the personal side of Bruce Chatwin.
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".
