A limited special edition of Bruce Chatwin’s classic text, produced in association with Moleskine, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of publication. The Songlines is Bruce Chatwin’s magical account of his journey across the length and breadth of Australia, following the invisible and ancient pathways that are said to criss-cross the land. Chatwin recorded his travels in his favourite notebook, which he would usually buy in bulk in a particular stationery shop in Paris. But when the manufacturer went out of business, he was told oLe vrai moleskine n’est pluso. A decade after its publication, on reading this anecdote in The Songlines, a small Milanese publisher was inspired to revive production of the legendary ‘moleskine’ notebook. This special edition of The Songlines celebrates both the 30th anniversary of the publication of Chatwin’s iconic work, and the 20th anniversary of a brand that has now become synonymous with culture, memory and travel. This beautiful Moleskine-bound edition is sold together with a blank Moleskine notebook, in which readers and travellers can record their own thoughts and adventures.
