In Patagonia  by Bruce Chatwin

An exhilarating look at a place that still retains the exotic mystery of a far-off, unseen land, Bruce Chatwin’s exquisite account of his journey through Patagonia teems with evocative descriptions, remarkable bits of history, and unforgettable anecdotes. Fueled by an unmistakable lust for life and adventure and a singular gift for storytelling, Chatwin treks through “the uttermost part of the earth”—that stretch of land at the southern tip of South America, where bandits were once made welcome—in search of almost-forgotten legends, the descendants of Welsh immigrants, and the log cabin built by Butch Cassidy. An instant classic upon publication in 1977, In Patagonia is a masterpiece that has cast a long shadow upon the literary world.

 

Future Book Schedule

We have June and July.  For June, a book by Mario Vargas Llosa.  And for July, a classic.  Titles for both books will be announced shortly.  Suggestions appreciated.

Monthly Luncheon — Thursday, April 21

Please RSVP to Michael Weldon at mweldon213@yahoo.com or 4815-4660

Place:  Sivela 465

Time: Thursday, April 21 at 12:30 pm

Location: Av. Pte. Manuel Quintana 465 – near Callao

Cost: 295 pesos (includes water, wine and tip)

On April 21 we will have lunch at Sivela. The most important reason that Sivela is Michael’s choice is the value proposition. The Foodweek lunch special pricing is 220 pesos not including beverage or tip. Our price for lunch at Sivela includes wine, water and tip. At 295 pesos that is what Michael calls a good value, especially since the restaurant prices water at 35 pesos and a glass of wine at 59 pesos.
