Book Synopsis



Una obra anticipadora del dilema ecológico en la supervivencia.

Publicado en 1945, Golfo de Penas reúne dieciocho relatos situados en la pampa patagónica, donde sus protagonistas -capitanes de barco, cetáceos, goletas, cazadores de focas, entre otros- se enfrentan a la soledad y la grandeza de tierras remotas, dejando al descubierto la esencia más primitiva del ser humano en su lucha por sobrevivir y, al mismo tiempo, desvelando una belleza primigenia, bondad y el amor por la naturaleza.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A work that anticipates the ecological dilemma of survival.

Published in 1945, Gulf of Penas brings together eighteen stories set in the Patagonian plains, where the protagonists--ship captains, whales, schooners, seal hunters, among others--confront the solitude and grandeur of remote lands. In doing so, they reveal the most primitive essence of the human being in their struggle for survival, while also uncovering a primordial beauty, kindness, and love for nature.



Review Quotes




Reseña:
«La defensa que hace Coloane de la vida no humana [ ] plantea una defensa radical del mundo natural que fue innovadora en el panorama literario chileno y en términos de activismo ecológico a mediados del siglo XX». -Elizabeth Chant, académica de Warwick University
