«Dernières nouvelles du Sud» is the travelogue by Luis Sepúlveda and Daniel Mordzinski, published by Métailié in paperback (192 pages, in French).
In 1996, Luis Sepúlveda and photographer Daniel Mordzinski travelled through Patagonia from San Carlos de Bariloche to Cape Horn, returning via Chiloé Island. The book gathers encounters, legends and landscapes from that journey and turns them into a portrait of a mythical territory battered by economic change, as well as a tale of friendship and an inventory of losses.
Translated from Spanish (Chile) by Bertille Hausberg. The work was originally published in 2006; this French edition appeared in 2012.
Will appeal to readers of travel literature and to those who want to discover Patagonia through the eyes of Luis Sepúlveda.
Luis Sepúlveda Calfucura was a Chilean writer and journalist. A communist militant and fervent opponent of Augusto Pinochet's regime, he was imprisoned and tortured by the military dictatorship during the 1970s. Sepúlveda authored numerous poetry books and short stories; in addition to Spanish, his mother tongue, he also spoke English, the language in which he wrote his first novel, El viejo que leía novelas de amor.
