Inhaltsangabe
Excerpt from Tallangetta, the Squatter's Home, Vol. 1 of 2: A Story of Australian Life
IN these volumes it has been my object to depict the various phases of Australian life and character more fully than could be done in my Two Years in Victoria. Perhaps the reader will be surprised to find in the Bush and in the competitive hurry of the new colonial city some of the personages who figure here. But it requires only a brief sojourn in a colony like that of Victoria to remind you that its population is made up of the overflowings of England and many other countries, and that these overflow ings have carried with them every possible theory and practice, every idea, feeling, passion, speculation, pursuit, amusement, and imagination which are fer menting in the Old countries.

Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an entertaining narrative of the author's adventures and misadventures as he and his family leave behind the strictures of English society for the untamed landscapes of the Australian wilderness. The author's vivid imagery brings to life the stunning beauty of his new surroundings. He transports the reader with authentic descriptions of the country's unique flora and fauna, and imbues them with an almost mythical quality, akin to those found in ancient folklore and traditional stories. Woven into this tapestry are the realities of everyday life in a new land. The author does not shy away from the challenges of settling into a new life and creating a home from scratch. There are poignant moments as the family grapples with distance, loss and the relentless struggle to make a life in a harsh and unforgiving landscape. But hardship and sorrow are balanced by moments of great joy, humor and triumph. The concluding chapters are deeply introspective as the author reflects upon the nature of humanity, our relationship with the natural world and the universal human yearning for connection. Through it all, one gets a real sense of the author's love for this new land he now calls home and the transformative power of nature's beauty. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
