With this telegram Bruce Chatwin left the Sunday Times and embarked on the first of a series of extraordinary journeys which were to lead to even more extraordinary books: "In Patagonia", "The Viceroy of Ouidah", "On the Black Hill", "The Songlines", "Utz" and "What Am I Doing Here". From South America to West Africa, Australia to Eastern Europe, he captured, in vivid prose, words of intellectual richness and comic possibility, filled with the strange and the exotic. Throughout his travels Chatwin took thousands of photographs and completed a number of notebooks, the springboard and inspiration for his books. They are startling documents -- the notebooks are trenchant, learned, humane, witty; the photographs show an unparalleled sense of colour and visual imagery, and a deep feeling for beauty in all its forms. Here a selection of these are published for the first time, with an introduction by Francis Wyndham, and designed by David King. They re breathtaking, hugely imaginative and, like all of Chatwin's work, wholly original.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***The book is divided into four parts - Introduction; In Mauritania; The Road to Ouidah; From Hell to Heaven: Four weeks in Afghanistan. ***A very well preserved copy of this first impression of the true first edition of "Photographs and Notebooks" by Bruce Chatwin - a beautifully produced book with some striking photography.
