En enero de 1999 se cumplen diez anos de la muerte de Bruce Chatwin, y a finales del mismo ano habran pasado veinticinco desde que comenzara su primer viaje por la Patagonia y, con este, su exitosa carrera de escritor. Gimenez Hutton reconstruyo minuciosamente esta trayectoria. Visito cada uno de los lugares que Chatwin consigna en su libro En la Patagonia, entrevisto a quienes lo conocieron o a sus allegados, tomo apuntes y saco fotografias, llevando a cabo una pesquisa sin precedentes. Asi, revive historias como la del Rey de la Araucania y el actual pretendiente al trono; la colonizacion galesa; Butch Cassidy y los bandidos americanos; las huelgas en la Patagonia; la Ciudad Encantada de los Cesares; las expediciones de Drake y Cavendish; las leyendas de Chiloe; Darwin, los yaganes y los anglicanos en Tierra del Fuego; la cueva del milodonte; las batallas navales en Malvinas y el Cabo de Hornos durante la primera Guerra Mundial, o las expediciones antarticas, entre otras. Un libro imprescindible para los lectores del intrepido ingles pero tambien para todos los amantes de la Patagonia.

"Nowhere is a Place recounts Paul Theroux's and Bruce Chatwin's impressions of this little-known windswept wilderness and reveals the powerful effect Patagonia has had on the Western literary imagination since the age of exploration. Patagonia has cast its spell on authors as diverse as Magellan, Darwin, W. H. Hudson, Shakespeare, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Conan Doyle, Edgar Allan Poe, and Herman Melville. "It has a look of antiquity, of desolation, of eternal peace. " (W. H. Hudson)" "Jeff Gnass's spectacular full-color photographs capture Patagonia's stark, compelling beauty: from the granite spires of Torres del Paine in Chile to sculpted icebergs at the terminus of Glaciar Moreno to great lenticular clouds gliding above Cordillera Paine in Chile. As Gnass explains in his notes, Nowhere Is a Place offers "a clear impression of one of the wildest places on earth, and also encourages understanding of this unique region and a realization of the need for such wild places where man is forever a visitor.""--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Todos necesitan del acicate de una busca para vivir; para el viajero ese acicate reside en cualquier sueño", decía Bruce Chatwin. Aquí la excusa para el sueño y para el viaje es un trozo de piel de diez centímetros cuadrados entregado a su abuela como regalo de bodas por un primo marino, exiliado en los confi nes del Imperio Británico. La historia familiar tenía la piel por la de un brontosaurio, aunque era de color rojo y estaba cubierta de pelo. Bruce Chatwin parte tras la pista de una piel similar y encuentra los vestigios de siglos de historia y las insólitas huellas de personajes improbables. Exiliados y excéntricos de toda especie, vagabundos y descendientes de vagabundos, hombres y mujeres encallados en el tiempo dan una extraordinaria vivacidad a este libro espléndido, a este clásico de hoy.

En la Patagonia, Los trazos de la canción y ¿Qué hago yo aquí? son tres libros con muchísimos adeptos, tres clásicos de hoy, tres obras heteróclitas que son invención, aforismo y, sobre todo, la mejor literatura de viajes. Estos tres grandes chatwin son, de hecho y por derecho, Los viajes por antonomasia, reunidos ahora, por primera vez, en un solo volumen memorable que hará, sin duda, las delicias de quienes lean o relean al viajero por excelencia del siglo XX.Ordenados cronológicamente, los tres libros fijan una trayectoria literaria excepcional, con un periplo que nos lleva primero a la Patagonia a través de las entrañas familiares del autor en busca de los vestigios de siglos de historia e insólitas huellas de personajes improbables (En la Patagonia); que prosigue, en una especie de manifiesto místico-exorcista en medio de un itinerario encantado, con la exaltación de los cantos, mitos y ceremonias de los arandas, los aborígenes australianos (Los trazos de la canción); y que, finalmente, recorre los cuatro puntos cardinales del mundo, en una suerte de testamento-carta de navegación (¿Qué hago yo aquí?) en el que el autor, ungido ya con el don de la ubicuidad, transita desde un golpe de estado en África hasta el Afganistán de Robert Byron, o desde Volga y el Danubio en compañía de veteranos de guerra alemanes hasta una campaña electoral en la India junto a Indira Gandhi.Leído de corrido, Los viajes ofrece los incomparables atributos literarios del escritor inglés: su aguda ironía, su implacable sentido del humor, su admiración por los estetas y los hombres de acción, y su desencanto con respecto a la comercialización del arte y la industria de la cultura. Un hombre de mundo que en el mes de mayo hubiera cumplido sesenta y cinco años.

An elegant novel set in Prague about the possibility of freedom in an unfree state, from the acclaimed author of The Songlines and In Patagonia Utz collects Meissen porcelain with a passion. His collection, which he has protected and enlarged through both World War II and Czechoslovakia's years of Stalinism, numbers more than 1,000 pieces, all crammed into his two-room Prague flat. Utz is allowed to leave the country each year, and although he has considered defection, he always returns. He cannot take his precious collection with him, but he cannot leave it, either. And so Utz is as much owned by his porcelain as it is owned by him, as much of a prisoner of the collection as of the Communist state. A fascinating, enigmatic man, Kaspar Utz is one of Bruce Chatwin's finest creations. And his story, as delicately cast as one of Utz's porcelain figures, is unforgettable.
