Idle Days In Patagonia

Idle Days in Patagonia

by William Henry Hudson

In 'Idle Days in Patagonia,' William Henry Hudson recounts his experiences in the rugged and captivating landscapes of Patagonia. Forced to rest after accidentally shooting himself in the knee, Hudson takes the opportunity to explore the region's natural wonders, its unique inhabitants, and the diverse cultures that have shaped it. He chronicles his encounters with native peoples, his observations of the rich birdlife, and his reflections on the region's history and geography. While Hudson's passion for ornithology is evident, the book transcends a purely scientific perspective, offering a personal and intimate portrayal of a remarkable landscape and its inhabitants.
