«Anatomia dell'irrequietezza» is a book of essays and travel writings by Bruce Chatwin, published by Adelphi in paperback (223 pages, in Italian).
The volume brings together short writings, travel notes and portraits spanning twenty years of Bruce Chatwin's life, between 1968 and 1987. They cross the author's different facets (the art world, archaeology, journalism, exploration and storytelling) and his defence of nomadic life as an alternative to civilisation.
This edition belongs to the Gli Adelphi collection (number 261), edited by Jan Borm and Matthew Graves and translated by Franco Salvatorelli.
For readers interested in travel literature and the essay, as well as in the figure of Bruce Chatwin.
Charles Bruce Chatwin was an English travel writer, novelist and journalist. His first book, In Patagonia (1977), established Chatwin as a travel writer, although he considered himself instead a storyteller, interested in bringing to light unusual tales. He won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for his novel On the Black Hill (1982), while his novel Utz (1988) was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. In 2008 The Times ranked Chatwin as number 46 on their list of "50 Greatest British Writers Since 1945".
