A study of a key Latin American writer and thinker.
SOUTH AMERICAN CHRONICLES is a rich travelogue recounting Steve Toon's six-month overland journey from Caracas to Patagonia and back up to Rio. Beckoned by ads in adventure travel magazines, Steve resigns his job and finally decides to "just do it." His adventures include a peek behind the world's highest waterfall and an encounter with the famous hermit that first walked to them; a slow boat journey up the heart of the Amazon River; a grueling trek to summit a dormant volcano; a boat expedition into the piranha-infested rivers of the Ecuadorian jungle; a long walkabout over the Inca Trail to the Lost City of Machu Picchu; a jeep tour across the exotic wastelands of southern Bolivia; and a pilgrimage to Patagonia's Torres del Paine.
Reprint of the original, first published in 1874.
Volume 1 of a comprehensive three-volume history of Latin American literature (including Brazilian): the only work of its kind.
This book analyzes the initial engagement with Hollywood by key Latin American writers, examining the ways in which these writers seized the opportunity to reassert their relevance in the rapidly modernizing public sphere by actively – and often subversively – mediating encounters between Hollywood and local audiences.
