Summary
Patagonia is that stretch of land at the southern tip of South America. "Mr. Chatwin writes: "In Patagonia is not a travel book in the usual sense but a quest or wonder voyage. It is about wandering and exile, and its structure is as old as literature itself: the narrator travels to a remote country in search of a strange beast and, as he goes along, describes his encounters with other people whose stories delay him en route."
