Softcover. Condition: New. 1a.ed. 15x23cm, Realidades. Erste Auflage, 556p., Rústica con solapa. Sprache: Spanisch, NUEVO / NEU / NEW. Como revela Nicholas Shakespeare en la introducción a estas Cartas, Chatwin era un personaje de sí mismo, y el álter ego que aparece en sus obras es muy distinto del Chatwin que muestra su correspondencia, publicada luego de un meticuloso trabajo editorial de veinte años llevado a cabo entre Shakespeare y la viuda del escritor, Elizabeth Chatwin. Como si supiera desde siempre que su vida se vería interrumpida de manera abrupta, Chatwin escribió cartas con una compulsión y honestidad sobrecogedoras. Su correspondencia con su mujer, al igual que con personajes como Susan Sontag, Roberto Calasso, Paul Theroux, Patrick Leigh Fermor y varios más revela una mente infatigable, maquinando a perpetuidad su siguiente movimiento, haciendo malabares de compra-venta de piezas de arte antiguo para pagar un nuevo viaje excéntrico, «sudando tinta» para producir el próximo libro genial. Las cartas escritas desde lugares tan disímiles como Inglaterra, Argentina, Grecia, Afganistán, Suecia, Turquía o Suráfrica revelan a un contador de historias en estado puro, apasionado de la vida (un mes antes de morir se lamentaba: «Aún hay tantas cosas que quiero hacer»). ** 10% DESCUENTO/RABATT/DISCOUNT PRIMAVERA * 26,10 (reduced from 29,00 ) **.

Novecento, 58. «Utz» è la cronaca di una follia quieta. «Utz» è uno studio sulla mania del collezionismo. «Utz» è la cronaca di una vicenda reale ma il fatto che sia reale la rende più o meno affascinante? «Utz» è l'ultimo libro scritto da Bruce Chatwin, quando già era molto malato (sarebbe morto un anno dopo, nel gennaio del 1989, a Nizza), e mescola, incrocia, monta, smonta tutti i temi, gli stili e gli strumenti con cui Chatwin ci ha ammaliato nella sua breve vita di scrittore e di uomo: la limpidezza della scrittura , l'erudizione, la curiosità, il passaggio elegante e fluido da un registro all'altro, dalla testimonianza all'invenzione, dal patetico all' ironico, sempre con un tocco autobiografico, sempre con l'autore ben presente o appena travestito , non solo in quanto deus ex machina narrante, ma in quanto personaggio, osservatore, cucitore attivo dei fili della storia.

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. Subjects; Patagonia (Argentina and Chile) - Description and travel - 1951-Argentina. Patagonia. Description & travel - Personal observations. 1 Kg.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine+. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine-. First Edition. First Impression. 8vo: 248,[2]pp. Publisher's slate grey cloth, spine stamped in gilt, wraparound pictorial dust jacket, by Mon Mohan, unclipped and unpriced (one of the export copies Jonathan Cape issued; priced copies include the exception, "UK only"). Signed by Chatwin (without dedication) on title page. Presented the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for 1982 and the Whitbread First Novel of the Year Award (there is debate as to whether Chatwin's The Viceroy of Ouidah, a fictionalized account of an actual eighteenth-century Brazilian slave trader, published two year before On the Black Hill, should be considered fiction or nonfiction). Near Fine or better (spine tips bumped, stray spot or two to top and fore-edges, short, thin ink line to bottom edge of front cover); About Fine jacket (lightly nicked to one flap fold). Chatwin's first novel (and third book), "written in the tradition of Thomas Hardy and D. H. Lawrence, revives the almost forgotten genre of the pastoral [as it] follows the lives of identical twins [Benjamin and Lewis Jones] whose experience provides a miniature-like perspective on twentieth-century history far from the madding crowd, wars, and disasters. . . . A stage version by Charles Way was first performed in 1986, and in 1987 director Andrew Grieve turned the taciturn pastoral into a successful film version with two Welsh actors, Mike and Robert Gwilym, as Lewis and Benjamin Jones, and hundreds of Radnorshire residents participating as extras."
