In The Footsteps Of
Bruce Chatwin

Perhaps the greatest storyteller of his generation, Bruce Chatwin's five books, published between 1977 and 1968, reinvented the genre of travel writing.

"The nature of human restlessness" was his abiding obsession, and this maor two-part biography, filmed across five continents and presented by Nicholas Shakespeare, reveals a highly charismatic, but contradictory figure.

An exploration of where Chatwin's fiction meets the truth of his life, with Elizabeth Chatwin, Salman Rushdie, Werner Herzog, Thomas Keneally and many others.
