Description: First edition, first impression. Some edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners slightly bruised, front flap slightly stretched, some spotting and yellowing to page fore edges, spine slightly faded, not price clipped (£5.95), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and almost square, overall a vg copy. 155pp. In 1812, Francisco Manoel da Silva, escaping a life of poverty in Brazil, sailed to the African kingdom of Dahomey, determined to make his fortune in the slave trade. Armed with nothing but an iron will, he became a man of substance in Ouidah and the founder of a remarkable dynasty. His one remaining ambition is to return to Brazil in triumph, but his friendship with the mad, mercurial king of Dahomey is fraught with danger and threatens his dream. Bruce Chatwin (1940-89), had first heard of de Sousa during a visit to Dahomey in 1972. He returned to the country, by then renamed the People's Republic of Benin in December 1976 to conduct research. In January 1977, during the 1977 Benin coup d'etat attempt, Chatwin was accused of being a mercenary and detained for three days. Following his arrest and release, Chatwin left Benin and went to Brazil to continue his research on de Sousa. Frustrated by the lack of documented information on de Sousa, Chatwin chose instead to write a this fictionalised biography of him. Werner Herzog's film 'Cobra Verde' (1987) is based on it. This was Chatwin's second book.

His first book, "In Patagonia" (1977), established Chatwin as a travel writer, although he considered himself instead a storyteller, interested in bringing to light unusual tales. He won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for his novel "On the Black Hill" (1982), while his novel "Utz" (1988) was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize. In 2008 The Times ranked Chatwin as number 46 on their list of "50 Greatest British Writers Since 1945." (Wiki) ***A near fine example of the first impression of the first edition of Bruce Chatwin's first published novel "The Viceroy of Ouidah". A nice collectable copy. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
