Australians

Allen & Unwin, 2009. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 628. The outstanding first volume of acclaimed author Thomas Keneally's major new three-volume history of Australia brings to life the vast range of characters who have formed Australia's national story   Convicts and Aborigines, settlers and soldiers, patriots and reformers, bushrangers and gold seekers-it is from their lives and their stories that Tom Keneally has woven a vibrant history to do full justice to the rich and colorful nature of Australia's unique national character. The story begins by looking at European occupation through Aboriginal eyes, moving between the city slums and rural hovels of 18th-century Britain and the shores of Port Jackson. Readers spend time on the low-roofed convict decks of transports and see the bewilderment of the Eora people as they see the first ships of turaga, or "ghost people." They follow the daily round of Bennelong and his wife Barangaroo and the tribulations of warrior Windradyne. Convicts like Solomon Wiseman and John Wilson find their feet and even fortune, while Henry Parkes' arrival as a penniless immigrant gives few clues to the national statesman he was to become. Chinese diggers trek to the goldfields, and revolutionaries like Italian Raffaello Carboni and black American John Joseph bring readers the drama of the Eureka uprising. Tom Keneally has brought to life the high and the low, the convict and the free of early Australian society. This is truly a new history of Australia, by an author of outstanding literary skill and experience, whose own humanity permeates every page. ISBN: 9781741750690. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

Schindler's Ark

Hodder and Stoughton, 1982. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 432. Summary: "This account of Oskar's astonishing history is based in the first place on interviews with fifty Schindler survivors from seven nations - Australia, Israel, West Germany, Austria, The United States, Argentina and Brazil. To use the texture and devices of a novel to tell a story is a course which has frequently been followed in modern writing. It is the one chosen to follow here. It has been attempted to avoid all fiction.Most exchanges and conversations, and all events, are based on the most detailed recollections of the Schindlerjuden, of Schinderler himself, and of other witnesses to Oskar's acts of outrageous rescue." From the author's note. ISBN: 9780340278383. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
