{"product_id":"with-chatwin","title":"With Chatwin","description":"\u003cp\u003eFew writers have had as many distinct lives as Bruce Chatwin and few have been as compelling in person as in print. Chatwin was a traveller, an aesthete and an anthropologist. In his twenties he was a star at Sotheby's; in his thirties he was a star at \u003ci\u003eThe Sunday Times\u003c\/i\u003e. A solitary man and a socialite; he was always  exotic. He became famous as the person who reinvented travel-writing and when he died in 1989, aged 48, he had published six strikingly varied books. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSusannah Clapp's book is not a biography, but collects her own memories of Chatwin and those of his friends, acquaintances and colleagues, with the aim of producing a chronology of the author's life and, more important, of illuminating particular fields of interest. This is not merely a celebratory volume, but a investigatory one, illustrated with photographs of and by Bruce Chatwin.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54227322569048,"sku":"9780099733713","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780099733713.jpg?v=1777105826","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/with-chatwin","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
