For its twenty-fifth anniversary, a new edition of Bruce Chatwins classic work with a new introduction by Rory Stewart Part adventure, part novel of ideas, part spiritual autobiography, The Songlines is one of Bruce Chatwins most famous books. Set in the desolate lands of the Australian Outback, it tells the story of Chatwins search for the source and meaning of the ancient dreaming tracks of the Aborigines--the labyrinth of invisible pathways by which their ancestors sang the world into existence. This singular book, which was a New York Times bestseller when it was published in 1987, engages all of Chatwins lifelong passions, including his obsession with travel, his interest in the nomadic way of life, and his hunger to understand mans origins and nature.
