Extractions: CHATWIN, Bruce The Songlines Franklin Center, Franklin Library, 1986. By general consensus, Chatwin's best book a "novel of ideas," as the publisher puts it, of Australian aborigines, and the questions about man that arise from the vast gulf that separates the culture of contemporary, Western civilized man from that of the wandering tribes of Australia, whose "dream tracks" or "songlines" delineate both a physical and a psychic geography. The correct first American edition, published by the Franklin Library for subscribers as part of their Signed First Editions series. An attractively designed book, in black leather stamped in brown and gold, in a pattern suggestive of the Australian aborigines' "songlines" that give the book its title. With a special introduction for this edition, which does not appear anywhere else. Signed by the author . Chatwin's signature is uncommon; reclusive while alive, he died three years after the publication of this book, at the age of 49. Fine. All books are first printings of first editions or first American editions unless otherwise noted.

BookPage Nonfiction Review: With Chatwin
Suzannah Clap With Chatwin - Portrait of a Writer. Review by Charles Flowers.
http://www.bookpage.com/9708bp/nonfiction/withchatwin.html

Extractions: Alfred A. Knopf, $23 ISBN 0679410333 Review by Charles Flowers Often, biographers either come to despise their subjects or become so besotted that they eventually sound like them. Susannah Clapp, meticulous editor of much of the prodigal prose of the late Bruce Chatwin, leaps happily into the latter category. In "With Chatwin" she not only reflects her friend's prose style and fey humor; she also eccentrically breaks her story into a collage of themes. Though roughly following chronological sequence, this technique, like Chatwin's in "In Patagonia" or "The Viceroy of Ouidah," has a double effect: it focuses on dramatic highlights undimmed by dull connective material, it includes colorful characters and anecdotes that are interesting in themselves but not vitally relevant to Chatwin's life and writing and personality. Unfortunately, Chatwin's techniques do not always work as well on Chatwin in this memoir as they did on the geography of Tierra del Fuego or the history of West African slave trading in his own books. At his best, this highly original, often self-indulgent writer could bring unfamiliar landscapes alive, set an obscure human being before us in the flesh, or tease the intellect with off-center insights. In short, he could take us where we had never been in more ways than one. "With Chatwin," on the other hand, is not likely to attract very many readers who are not already acquainted with either the literary or the tabloid Chatwin.

In Patagonia is Bruce Chatwin's exquisite account of his journey through the uttermost part of theIn Patagonia Bruce Chatwin 0142437190 January 2003 Paperback Book
http://www.bookfinder.us/Literature___Fiction/Authors_A-Z/Chatwin__Bruce.html

Extractions: In Patagonia is Bruce Chatwin's exquisite account of his journey through "the uttermost part of the earth," that stretch of land at the southern tip of South America, where bandits were once made welcome and Charles Darwin formed part of his "survival of the fittest" theory. Chatwin's evocative descriptions, notes on the odd history of the region, and enchanting anecdotes make In Patagonia an exhilarating look at a place that still retains the exotic mystery of a far-off, unseen land. An instant classic upon publication in 1977, In Patagonia remains a masterwork of literature. For centuries, settled peoples have contemplated nomads with fascination and envy, or with disdain and fear. Both Americans and the British have had an obsession with nomadic peoples, stemming from their own wanderlust and admiration for the unfettered life. In Search of Nomads centers on four regions that are rich in nomadic culture-the Arabian peninsula with its Bedouin, the Sahara with its Moors and Tuareg, the mountain ranges of southern Iran with its migratory pastoral tribes, and the steppes of Central Asia with its Mongol horsemen and Tartar descendants. Author John Ure has traveled with all of these peoples and provides a brief account of the special characteristics and history of each group. However, one of the most appealing aspects of the book is the insight it provides into the often eccentric British and...
Le Recensioni Di BLOOM! - Nicola Gaiarin - Bruce Chatwin
Strategie di un viaggiatore, ovvero imparare a pensare per frammenti, recensione di Nicola Gaiarin.
http://www.bloom.it/rec_gaiarin1.htm

Extractions: Dietro il mito e l�immagine, dietro il velo delle storie romantiche e spesso inverosimili con le quali Chatwin era solito condire ogni incontro un po� fuori del comune, si trova per� un core Chettewynde , "sentiero tortuoso" oppure "spirale ascendente". La spirale mobile dell�affabulazione che dovrebbe tener lontano la "bestia" (il pericolo o il caos) in una specie di riproposizione letterale del mito di San Giorgio che trafigge, come nel quadro di Paolo Uccello, il drago. Shakespeare si muove tra i diversi volti di Chatwin accumulando decine di aneddoti. Vediamo cos� scorrere davanti a noi il giornalista che faceva impazzire i colleghi partendo all�improvviso per la Patagonia; il viaggiatore ipocondriaco sempre pronto a esagerare un malanno e a trasformare una spedizione in Afganistan in un incubo; l�elegante inglese affascinato dai nomadi e dalla loro irrequietezza che per tutta la vita tenta di scrivere su di loro (il saggio mai pubblicato L�alternativa nomade e i frammenti di Le vie dei canti sugli aborigeni australiani); il bambino che osservava il proprio futuro nella vetrinetta di famiglia piena di cimeli esotici. Quegli stessi cimeli che daranno forma ai suoi libri: il lembo di pelle di un animale preistorico che lo porter� sulle tracce di uno zio ai confini del mondo (

Glbtq >> Literature >> Chatwin, Bruce
The acclaimed prose style of travel writer and novelist Bruce Chatwin, a secretive bisexual, may have been developed as a means of hiding the truth of his sexuality.
http://www.glbtq.com/literature/chatwin_b,2.html

Extractions: page: His next book, The Viceroy of Ouidah (1980), was originally intended as a biography of Francisco Felix da Souza, a nineteenth-century Brazilian slave trader, but during its development was transformed into a mock-historical fantasy about a Christian slave trader and his African descendants who worship him as a demigod. The book was later made into the film Cobra Verde (1987), a loose adaptation by the German director Werner Herzog. Chatwin's third book, and first novel, On the Black Hill (1982), is situated in the English-Welsh border country, and follows the circumspect lives of twin brothers who remain for eighty years in the remote farmhouse in which they were born, tilling the soil, sleeping together in the same bed, and remaining relatively untouched by the advances of the twentieth century.

Extractions: Die Aborigines glauben, dass ihre Vorfahren in der "Traumzeit" in einem sch�pferischen Prozess singend �ber den australischen Kontinent wanderten und das Land zugleich unter sich aufteilten. Diese "Traumpfade" haben eine hohe Bedeutung in der Tradition der Aborigines. Beim Bau neuer Eisenbahnlinien und der Erschlie�ung von Bodensch�tzen drohen sie zerst�rt zu werden ... Originalausgabe: The Songlines, 1987 ISBN 3-937793-28-3, 368 Seiten Als Kind lebte Bruce oft monatelang bei seinen beiden Gro�tanten Katie und Ruth in einem Reihenhaus hinter der Kirche der Shakespeare -Stadt Stratford-on-Avon, denn sein Vater war bei der Kriegsmarine und seine Mutter reiste viel. Nach dem Studium begann er eine viel versprechende Karriere bei Sotheby's, doch als er zu erblinden drohte, riet ihm der Arzt, zu reisen, und sobald er im Sudan aus dem Flugzeug stieg, waren seine Augen wieder gesund.

Buchbesprechung Von Bruce Chatwins "In Patagonien"
Rezension von Oliver Gerhard f r Planet Internet, 2001.
http://www.foto-reportage.de/artikel/rezension_chatwin.htm

Extractions: Buchbesprechung "In Patagonien" - Bruce Chatwins Kultbuch �ber eine urw�chsige argentinische Landschaft ver�ffentlicht beim Onlinedienst Planet Internet Bruce Chatwin (1940-1989) wurde schon zu Lebzeiten als Reiseautor zur Legende. Der �ewig Ruhelose" schuf sich mit seiner Literatur eine gro�e Fangemeinde. In seinem ersten Buch �In Patagonien" legte Chatwin den Grundstein f�r seinen Ruhm und pr�gte ein neues Genre der Reiseerz�hlung. Im Mittelpunkt stehen dabei die Menschen, die in der rauen Landschaft Patagoniens eine Heimat gefunden haben. �Diese Erde ist eine unbarmherzige Liebhaberin. Sie verhext. Sie ist eine Zauberin! Sie nimmt Sie in ihre Arme und l�sst Sie nie wieder gehen." (Patagonischer Dichter) �Im Wohnzimmer meiner Gro�mutter stand ein kleines Schr�nkchen mit einer Glast�r, und in dem Schr�nkchen befand sich ein St�ck Haut". So beginnt Bruce Chatwins Reiseerz�hlung �ber Patagonien. Das St�ck Haut aus Argentinien, angeblich von einem Brontosaurus, besch�ftigt Chatwin seit seiner Kindheit. �Nie in meinem Leben habe ich mir etwas so sehr gew�nscht wie dieses St�ck Haut." Charismatischer Forscher Mit Mitte drei�ig verwirklicht er seinen Traum von einer Reise nach Patagonien, einem Land, in dem M�nner "�ber Mate-Tee wie andere M�nner �ber Frauen reden". Sein Buch �In Patagonien" ist kein Reisef�hrer und kein konventioneller Reisebericht. Es ist das Tagebuch eines unerm�dlichen Wanderers und Forschers, eines Neugierigen, der mit seinem Charisma die Herzen der Menschen gewinnt und ihnen Anekdoten und Erfahrungen entlockt.

(Frankfurter Rundschau) Flirt mit der Welt. Rezension von Angelika Overath im Abdruck bei lyrikwelt.de.
http://www.lyrikwelt.de/rezensionen/aufdemschwarzenberg-r.htm

Extractions: Eine Aufforderung, sich in Bruce Chatwin zu verlieben Ihr Glas, gef�llt mit purem Wodka, stand auf dem wei�en Damasttischtuch. Hinter dem Abdruck des Lippenstifts schwamm eine Zitronenscheibe zwischen den Eisw�rfeln. Wir sa�en nebeneinander auf einer Bank. - "Wor�ber schreibst du gerade, Bruce?" - "Wales, Diana." - Die Unterlippe schoss nach vorn. Ihre geschminkten Wangen schwenkten in einem Winkel von neunzig Grad herum. - "Wale!" sagte sie. "Blauwale... Pottwale...! Der wei�e Wal!" - "Nein... nein, Diana! Wales! Das walisische Wales! Das Land im Westen Englands." - "Oh! Wales. Ich KENNE Wales. Kleine graue H�user ... mit Rosen bedeckt... Im Regen..." "Ein Abendessen mit Diana Vreeland" hei�t dieser kurze Text erstaunlicherweise, obwohl nur von Wodka die Rede ist, und die gro�e alte Dame der New Yorker Modewelt, Diana Vreeland, nicht weiter vorgestellt wird. Optisch erscheint sie �ber Lippenstiftspuren und Wangenrouge. Pr�sent aber ist sie, weil sie imaginiert. Die englische Vokabel "Wales", ein Teekesselchenwort f�r das Land Wales und die Tierfamilie der Wale, wird zur Initialz�ndung ihrer Fantasie. �ber ein Wort erfindet sie f�r den Moment die Wirklichkeit, die f�r beide gilt: den Wei�en Wal oder die walisischen Rosen im Regen. Zelebriert wird, auf dem wei�en Damasttischtuch und bei purem Wodka, ein kleines Abendmahl der Fantasie.
