Description

For three years, Auguste Guinnard used to be a captive and slave of the native Indians in Patagonia. His account of his time there’s a thrilling tale of endurance and perseverance, and provides a rare insight into a culture as alien to the creator as it used to be strangely familiar. The regularly brutal circumstances of the creator’s passage in the course of the beautiful country didn’t lend itself to a strict statement of times or dates, nor to the more unhurried documentation of the ones such as Dickens or George Musters. Guinnard, then again, manages to capture the intensity of his turbulent adventure, and in so doing to color a vivid picture of the complicated structures and hierarchies of the ones intelligent and sophisticated “savages.”
