«Travels in a Thin Country» is Sara Wheeler's travelogue about Chile, published by Abacus in paperback (320 pages, in English).
Over six months, Sara Wheeler travels Chile from top to bottom, from the world's driest desert to Antarctic landscapes. Between travel writing and historical chronicle, she interweaves her experiences with the country's geography and memory: Andean villages, the Spanish conquest, Francis Drake's raids, foreign influence and twentieth-century politics.
The work was originally published in 1995 in the Abacus Travel series; its author also wrote Terra Incognita: Travels in Antarctica.
For readers of travel literature and historical chronicles, especially those who want to approach Chile's geography and history from a narrative perspective.
