Patagonia - the name calls to mind giants and outlaws, Magellan's dog-headed monsters, natives whose heads steam when they eat pudding. Called 'the uttermost part of the earth', Patagonia is that stretch of land at the southern tip of South America.

In Patagonia is a Quest or Wonder Voyage. It is about wandering and exile. The narrator travels to a remote country in search of a strange beast and, as he goes along, describes his encounters with other people whose stories delay him on the road.

Thanks, catsalive! I love these travel books that you send me that feel like they've travelled a lot (I'm looking at The Snow Leopard in particular). I love a book with history. :)
