Description

The Condor and the Cows is Christopher Isherwood's account of a six-month tour of South America in 1947. With an introduction by Pico Iyer, this book offers a rich and unsentimental portrayal of Isherwood's journey through Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Argentina.

During his travels, Isherwood encountered a handful of old acquaintances on the continent, and the resulting stories are woven together to create a vivid tapestry of life in these countries. This book is a fascinating glimpse into Isherwood's experiences as a foreign traveler in the early years of mass tourism.

With its engaging narrative and insightful observations, The Condor and the Cows provides a unique perspective on South America during this period. a worthwhile read for anyone interested in travel writing, literary biographies, or the history of South America.
