“In Patagonia is an English travel book by Bruce Chatwin, published in 1977, about Patagonia, the southern part of South America. The New York Times described it as a "little masterpiece of travel, history, and adventure." This work established Chatwin's reputation as a travel writer. One of his biographers, Nicholas Murray, called In Patagonia "one of the most strikingly original postwar English travel books" and said that it revitalised the genre of travel writing.”
