libro Tres Años De Esclavitud Entre Los Patagones

Three years of captivity among the Patagones is an exceptional ethnological document, but to its documentary value it adds the attraction and intensity of an adventures novel. It narrates the extraordinary experience of Auguste Guinnard, a young French immigrant who, around 1850, gets lost in the Pampas and is captured by native tribes who considered every foreigner a foe. Bound to a cruel slavery among the last nomads of Patagonia, Guinnard, was forced to sleep in the ground, and survive naked feeding from raw meat and fresh blood. In spite of being despised, and often chastised even by children, he became a privileged witness to alternate scenes of peace and violence.

This extraordinary adventure narration was first published in France with great success in the Le Tour du monde magazine. Even French writer Jules Verne, one of its passionate readers, was inspired by Guinnard to set the beginning of The children of Captain Grant in Patagonia.

    Les images que reflète ce Miroir du Nouveau monde témoignent autant des rêves que des réalités observées par les voyageurs européens. De la Renaissance au siècle des lumières, certains éclats de ce miroir montrent une humanité douce, innocente et esthétique qui a été à lorigine du mythe du bon sauvage , dautres, de féroces cannibales aux rituels inquiétants. Si certaines représentations sont superficielles, stéréotypées ou idéalisées, la plupart constituent de précieux documents ethnographiques. Toutes ces images sont aussi révélatrices des mentalités et des projections de limaginaire et de leurs créateurs.
