[Katy Wheatley · Rating 5 out of 5]

A stunning record of Chatwin's photography from his travels, not something he is as well known for as his writing, but which he should be. Accompanied by edited text from the diaries he kept as he was travelling.

Un omaggio a Bruce Chatwin, alla sua vita, ai sui viaggi.
Insieme alle fotografie, sono riportati appunti dai suoi taccuini riguardanti il viaggio in Mauritania e il terzo viaggio in Afghanistan.

Bruce Chatwin was one of my favourite travel writers. This coffee table book contains extracts from some of his many notebooks, mostly from the Middle East and Africa. Also a selection of some of his stunning photographs. An interesting selection to look back on.

For a writer Bruce Chatwin sure had a good eye for a photograph.

Chatwin's engrossing notes are accompanied by breathtaking photos.
