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.

Charles Bruce Chatwin FRSL (13 May 1940 18 January 1989) was an English travel writer, novelist and journalist. His first book, In Patagonia (1977), established Chatwin as a travel writer, although he considered himself instead a storyteller, interested in bringing to light unusual tales. He won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for his novel On the Black Hill (1982), while his novel Utz (1988) was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. In 2008 The Times ranked Chatwin as number 46 on their list of "50 Greatest British Writers Since 1945." (Wikipedia).…

hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Seconda edizione (2nd Edition). Introduzione di Francis Wyndham. A cura di David King e Francis Wyndham. Fotografie a colori di Bruce Chatwin . Cm 27x31,5. pp. 160. . Ottimo (Fine). . Seconda edizione (2nd Edition). . Come si parla di orecchio assoluto a proposito di coloro che sanno riconoscere perfettamente l'altezza dei suoni, si potrebbe parlare di «occhio assoluto» per una qualità che Bruce Chatwin già mostrava nei suoi scritti e che ci appare, e si impone, nelle sue fotografie. Riconoscere in ciò che sta attorno a noi ? e soprattutto attorno all'occhio, sempre mobile, del viaggiatore ? quegli spicchi di realtà che sono altrettante visioni, isolarli dal resto e lasciarli vibrare nella loro pura evidenza ottica: questo è il segno di elezione dell'«occhio assoluto». Le immagini che compaiono in questo libro furono colte in Patagonia e in Mauritania, in Australia e nell'Afghanistan, nel Mali e in Nepal, ma spesso il luogo di origine e l'occasione rimangono indecifrabili, come se la pura accidentalità del viaggiare fosse servita a far emergere ogni volta, in un labile momento, la piena singolarità di un frammento di ciò che è, senza altri attributi, e al tempo stesso il muto stupore dell'occhio che lo coglie. Insieme a queste sorprendenti fotografie appaiono qui per la prima volta lunghi estratti dai taccuini di Chatwin, riserva alla quale era solito attingere per tutte le sue opere. Da due vie, dunque, L'occhio assoluto permetterà di entrare nel segreto ? quasi nella percezione stessa ? di uno scrittore che rimarrà fra i grandi dei nostri anni. Book.…
