Publisher Description: Stranded in the world's driest desert, buried beneath the snow by Army Commandos, a near death experience with a rampant cow, robbed by mystical gypsies, dodging Molotov cocktails, and teaching English to natives whilst choking on tear gas; this is the story of one person's journey through an extreme country at the end of the earth.More than anything this is a story of Chile. It is a story of mountains and volcanoes, of scorching deserts and frozen wastes, of a country peacefully overcoming a controversial dictatorship, and a country steeped in a history of blood, adventure, conquest, and man's struggle against both himself and Mother Nature. |
