«Tierra del Fuego» is the short story collection by Francisco Coloane, published by Seuil in paperback (178 pages, in French).
The book brings together stories set in the desolate landscapes of the far south of Chile, populated by solitary gauchos, sailors of unseaworthy ships, smugglers, insurgents and seal hunters. In these tales of survival in a hostile environment, Coloane portrays the harshness and fragility of human life at the end of the world.
The original was published in 1956 and won the Santiago Municipal Literature Prize in 1957. This French edition belongs to the Points collection, number 148.
Recommended for readers of short fiction interested in Chilean literature and adventure stories set in remote landscapes.
