About This Book

Le texte décrit la Patagonie par de longues pages naturalistes — plaines arides, fleuves, falaises et une faune variée — puis suit un voyageur de la pampa vêtu à la manière gaucho qui s'enfonce dans le désert jusqu'à croiser un groupe d'éclaireurs nommés bomberos. Alternant descriptions du paysage, scènes de campement dans un toldo et échanges entre compagnons, le récit installe une atmosphère de solitude, de privation et de tension permanente entre habitants et peuples autochtones, tout en préparant des épisodes d'aventure et de surveillance aux confins d'une colonisation frontalière.
