Biography of a Book: Henry Lawson's While the Billy Boils
ISBN: 9780271061962 / Angielski / Twarda / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Biography of a Book traces the life of an iconic Australian literary work in the lead-up to, and for a century after, its initial publication: Henry Lawson's 1896 collection While the Billy Boils. Paul Eggert follows Lawson's gradual development of a pared-back bush realism in the early 1890s, as he struggled to forge a career, writing short stories and sketches for the newspapers. Lawson's famous collection came out at a decisive moment for the development of a fully professional Australian literary publishing industry, then in its infancy in Sydney. The...

The Picturesque Prison: Evelyn Waugh and His Writing
ISBN: 9780773504073 / Angielski / Miękka Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study of the life and works of Evelyn Waugh traces the novelist's pursuit of his vocation and his long retreat from a world which he came to regard as a spiritual dungeon. Jeffrey Heath explores the paradoxical elements in Waugh's career: his quest for a refuge itself proved to be a prison and his devotion to the Augustan graces was accompanied by a lasting attraction to a Dionysiac age without restratint. The deep cleft in Waugh's nature imbued his art with the characteristic quirky complexity which has fascinated many readers, but it left him a choleric and melancholy man who never...

The eagerly awaited Volume Two of Graeme Kennedy's best-selling New Tales of the South Pacific offers another collection of beautifully written short stories based on characters and their triumphant and tragic experiences in a region many believe to be Paradise.

Port Moresby Mixed Doubles: Stories of Expatriates in Papua New Guinea
ISBN: 9789980945525 / Angielski / Miękka / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Much has changed in Papua New Guinea in the years following Independence, but much as remained the same. White expatriates still form a rich, privileged but impermanent minority. Few of them have a long-term commitment to the country. The local inhabitants are often relegated to roles as domestic servants, subordinates at work, or as partners in brief sexual flings. Among the expatriates themselves, relations are complicated by boredom, jealousy and self-importance. These highly readable stories range from the tragic to the ribald. They reflect expatriate life in urban PNG and illustrate some...

Blood and Koka Kola
ISBN: 9781483911298 / Angielski / Miękka / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. New Zealand novelist JOAN ROSSITER - JONES says about the 24 short stories in Blood and Koka Kola: "This collection of short stories by poet and artist, Christodoulos Moisa, is everything such a book should be. The author has put his artist's eyes and poet's ear to good use. The stories have the sparseness of Hemingway and resonate with an understanding of the human condition - a prerequisite of the genre. They make compelling reading and the subject matter ranges from macabre to historical, from the mythical to the quirky, some enigmatic, others rich with humour and irony; all written with...

The Words That Made Australia: How a Nation Came to Know Itself
ISBN: 9781863956444 / Angielski / Miękka / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is not a book of documents, snippets or worthy speeches. Instead it presents the original essays and the moments of insight that told us what Australia is and could be.
These are the essential statements - from historians, reporters, novelists, mavericks and visionaries - that take us from Federation to the present-day, and tell a story of national self-discovery. There is the Frenchman who saw that Australia was a 'workingman's paradise', and the historian who explained why. The two reporters who realised the true significance of Gallipoli and conveyed it to the nation.... This is not a book of documents, snippets or worthy speeches.

ISBN: 9781497550865 / Angielski / Miękka / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Lost in Mangroves" is the sixth anthology of writing put together by Tropical Writers, and this one is a little different.

Most importantly, what is captured here is a sense of the people who have occupied this place over the years and centuries. You will enjoy reading this diverse collection, by a range of very...

Katherine Mansfield and World War One
ISBN: 9780748695348 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This special issue of Katherine Mansfield Studies is in remembrance of the centenary of one of the most significant events of the modernist period. Like the reclamation of women's war writings that we have already seen in relation to Virginia Woolf and others, Mansfield's literary response to the key political event of her time is fundamental to our understanding of her developing writerly style. It is in her responses to the war that we find a 'political Mansfield', and the articles in this volume provide us with a greater appreciation of Mansfield in her socio-historical context. In...

Bloodlines
ISBN: 9781500806019 / Angielski / Miękka / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Sean Doherty, author of My Brother's Keeper and MP: The Life of Michael Peterson, both published by HarperCollins, writes: "Pete Bowes was a Bondi boy who moved up to Byron Bay in 1963. Between Bondi and Byron Bay, Pete crossed tracks with a rogues' gallery - surfers, itinerants, brawlers, the lost - all of them lovingly hand-painted by Pete's pen. His short vignettes in Bloodlines are visceral, teeth rattling, funny and even true, and they stretch from then to now and this horizon to that, from the poetic to the poignant to the hilarious." From the introduction to this edition: In Jackson...
