Media Reviews
Dazzles and mystifies, with its lush anger, its impacted memory, its gorgeous desolation.
--The New York Times

A vivid, lush, seductive book that absolutely captures the look and light and life of the Brazilian wastelands and the hot, breathless African Slave Coast jungles. What an imagination Bruce Chatwin has! --The Wall Street Journal

Chatwin has a powerfully visual and aural style; sights and sounds crowd his sentences to the point that the book almost breathes. --The New Yorker

Chatwin's book is both a luminous historical document and an exploitation of the surreal past. The author's talent for invoking history's black magic is evident. --Time
