| |  | | | In Brief
"For Australian aborigines 'songlines' are the string of sites of significant cultural events, such as marriage, song, trades, dances, a hunt, etc.,in an individual's and group's history. They are the invisible means by which a man indicates and keeps track of his territory. British author Chatwin . . . organizes his book around the Australian aboriginal's notion of songlines." (Libr J)
| | | | From The Publisher
Part adventure story, part philosophical essay, this extraordinary book takes Bruce Chatwin into the heart of Australia on a search for the source and meaning of man's restless nature.
