About Patagonia: Croesi'r Paith / Crossing The Plain
Product Description They had been promised paradise. They discovered a desert. And after twenty backbreaking years, the Welsh settlers in Patagonia decided that enough was enough. An expedition force was sent forth west to find more fertile land in the foothills of the Andes: a 700-km, five-and-a-half-week journey on horseback. That selfsame journey was undertaken by Matthew Rhys 120 years later, and this book is the story of that journey. It is a photographic account of an unchanged yet ever changing landscape, of hardship and exhilaration, of commitment and camaraderie. Patagonia is also a celebration of that little corner of South America that is forever Wales. Review Vivid accounts o the hardships of marathon horse-riding, as well as the pleasures of Argentine asado and maté. . . Rhys's black-and-white landscapes possess a stark beauty. --Publishers Weekly About the Author Matthew Rhys Evans (born on 8 November 1974), known professionally as Matthew Rhys, is a Welsh actor, best known as Kevin Walker in the ABC family drama Brothers & Sisters, and as Dylan Thomas in The Edge of Love.
