About this ebook
Hudson’s classic travel memoir recalls the achievement of a lifelong dream: to visit Patagonia. His adventure in this remote region fulfilled not only a private dream, but also a scientific mission, mainly focused on his ornithological interests. This extraordinary narrative of his year-long visit combines history, nature, reflection, and anecdotes about local life.
W.H. Hudson
William Henry Hudson (1841–1922) was an author and naturalist. Hudson was born in Argentina, the son of English and American parents. There, he studied local plants and animals as a young man, publishing his findings in Proceedings of the Royal Zoological Society, in a mixture of English and Spanish. Hudson’s familiarity with nature was readily evident in later novels such as A Crystal Age and Green Mansions. He later aided the founding of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.
