Sinossi
In questa raccolta di profili, saggi e racconti di viaggio, Chatwin ci porta in Benin, dove viene arrestato come mercenario durante un colpo di stato; a Boston per incontrare un guru dell'LSD che crede di essere Cristo; in India con Indira Ghandi quando tentò un ritorno in politica nel 1978; e in Nepal dove ci ricorda che "la vera casa dell'uomo non è una casa, ma la strada, e che la vita stessa è un viaggio da percorrere a piedi".

Informazioni sull?autore
Bruce Chatwin was born in Sheffield in 1940. After attending Marlborough School he began work as a porter at Sotheby's. Eight years later, having become one of Sotheby's youngest directors, he abandoned his job to pursue his passion for world travel. Between 1972 and 1975 he worked for the Sunday Times, before announcing his next departure in a telegram: 'Gone to Patagonia for six months.' This trip inspired the first of Chatwin's books, In Patagonia, which won the Hawthornden Prize and the E.M. Forster Award and launched his writing career. Two of his books have been made into feature films: The Viceroy of Ouidah (retitled Cobra Verde), directed by Werner Herzog, and Andrew Grieve's On the Black Hill. On publication The Songlines went straight to Number 1 in the Sunday Times bestseller list and remained in the top ten for nine months. On the Black Hill won the Whitbread First Novel Award while his novel Utz was nominated for the 1988 Booker Prize. He died in January 1989, aged forty-eight.
