Book
Aux Confins de la Terre
La premiere edition en 1948 de Aux Confins de la Terre, la merveilleuse chronique de E. Lucas Bridges sur la Terre de Feu, fut accueillie avec un immense enthousiasme et s'est imposee depuis soixante ans comme le grand classique litteraire sur la Terre de Feu et la culture peu connue des Indiens fuegiens. Lucas Bridges nait en 1874 en Terre de Feu, a l'extreme sud de l'Argentine, une region sauvage, a l'epoque grandement inexploree. Ses parents missionnaires s'y sont etablis quelques annees auparavant, au coeur d'une nature grandiose. D'immenses etendues de montagnes, forets, lacs et marais les entourent, qui sont egalement le terrain de chasse de tribus hostiles et feroces. Lucas grandit parmi les Indiens Yaghans de la cote, apprenant leur langue et leurs usages. Plus tard, jeune homme, il entre en contact avec la tribu sauvage des Onas, devient leur ami et compagnon de chasse et est initie comme guerrier. A coup sur, la prediction du critique litteraire du New York Times au moment de la parution de ce livre est encore d'actualite : Je n'ai aucun doute que Aux Confins de la Terre trouvera sa place au pantheon de plusieurs domaines de la litterature : aventure, anthropologie et histoire frontaliere Un chef-d'oeuvre de la litterature de voyage et d'aventure.
eBook
Chile : the Carretera Austral : a guide to one of the world's most scenic road trips : the Bradt travel guide
Focussed entirely on the magnificent and historic road uniting northern and southern Patagonia. The few hardy travellers that embark on this journey struggle to find even basic information about the region. The book provides visitors to the often-visited Bariloche and Chilean Lake District with a spectacular alternative means to reach the southern extremes of Patagonia. The road passes through world-class national parks. It stretches from the high Andes to the remote Pacific coast, fed by five great rivers, countless fjords and the largest ice fields outside of Antarctica and Greenland. Trekking options abound, including to and from neighbouring Argentina through pristine wilderness. The region is home to a sub-tropical rainforest, secluded villages without vehicles, picturesque lakes, dramatic and often active volcanoes, and sufficient activities to satisfy even the most adventurous visitors. In addition to practical advice, the book explores the mythical history of a region cut-off from the outside world, and the social and economic impact of the relatively recent connectivity to both mainland Chile and Argentina. Travelling in one of the last unknown regions of South America is challenging, and this book facilitates such travel for those wishing to escape the gringo trail.
