Tierra Del Fuego

Author(s): Francisco Coloane

Translations

These nine spellbinding stories of adventure, exploration and voyage are peopled with ravenous explorers, fortune hunters, foreign revolutionaries, ill-fated seafarers, intrepid ship's captains and ruthless smugglers. The undeniable protagonist around which these characters gravitate is nature herself. The enduring beauty of the tales lies in the forceful, gripping narrative and the elements that principally comprise this narrative: men, their crimes, passions and the land itself - in all its breathtaking glory and murderous wrath.


Product Information

?I consider Coloane my "maestro". I discovered him and read him passionately when I was young, after having devoured all of the books of Emilio Salgari and Jules Verne. He is the precursor of modern Chilean literature . . . His enchanted writing transports us into a wood cabin with a fire burning in the hearth, whilst the horizon opens on magnificent adventures . . . More than any other writer, [he] is able to throw open the doors to an entirely new world.? ?Luis Sep?lveda ?Francisco Coloane is the greatest poet of the extreme reaches of South America . . . There are writers who have had the fortune, the ability, or the genius to reveal through their books worlds previously unknown to us . . . Coloane was one of these very rare authors.??Stefano Malatesta
