Softcover. Zustand: Fair. 'Because it was fought so close to his old home ground, Homer might have seen this war on the Gallipoli Peninsula as an epic. 'Because it was fought so close to his old home ground, Homer might have seen this war on the Gallipoli Peninsula as an epic. Brief by his standards, but essentially heroic. Shakespeare might have seen it as a tragedy with splendid bit-parts for buffoons and brigands and lots of graveyard scenes. Those thigh bones you occasionally see rearing out of the yellow earth of Gully ravine, snapped open so that they look like pumice, belong to a generation of young men who on this peninsula first lost their innocence and then their lives, and maybe something else as well.' Gallipoli remains one of the most poignant battlefronts of the First World War and L. A. Carlyon's monumental account of that campaign has been rightfully acclaimed and a massive bestseller in Australia. Brilliantly told, supremely readable and deeply moving, Gallipoli brings this epic tragedy to life and stands as both a landmark chapter in the history of the war and a salutary reminder of all that is fine and all that is foolish in the human condition.; Onderstrepingen, markeringen in de marge en aantekeningen met potlood.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 464 pages. The collected writing of one of Australia's most admired authors and journali sts, Les Carlyon.'Les Carlyon has died, and Australia has lost one of its greatest wordsmiths.' Greg Baum, The Age'He's been called Australia's Da mon Runyon, but that tag is far too limiting to do him justice. Certainly his tu rf stories are usually character-driven gems. But read him on Anzac Cove, or Bra dman, or Ted Whitten, or any part of the essence of this country. He writes with gritty elegance.' Harry GordonLes Carlyon was one of Australia's greates t journalists and writers. His career in newspapers was stellar - he became edit or of The Age at 33, and went on to become editor in chief of The Herald & W eekly Times. But he was always much more about the written word than about manag ement, winning two Walkley Awards and the coveted Graham Perkin Journalist of th e Year Award in a career where he covered everything from politics to horse raci ng.Yet most Australians will know him as an author, writing books that ga ve us the very essence of our history and our culture - as though he was in the trenches of the Western Front, or in the betting ring at Flemington. His epic ac count of the first ANZAC campaign, Gallipoli (2001), was truly ground-breaking, combining incredible research and an ability to capture the human essence with a style that was distinctively his own. Gallipoli went on to become an internatio nal bestseller, and his sequel, The Great War (2006), won the Prime Minister's P rize for Australian History, and was the 2007 Australian Book Industry Book of t he Year. The Master (2012), an intimate portrait of Bart Cummings, cemented Les' s place as Australia's greatest-ever horse racing writer.From Don Bradman.…

Previous owner has inscribed blank preliminary page, leaving a couple of smudge marks on golden paper. Dust jacket has creasing at top and tail. Spine dust jacket has been reinforced with book tape. Binding is still very good. In the world of horse racing, Bart Cummings is the master. His astonishing tally of twelve Melbourne Cup wins arguably makes him the greatest trainer in Australia's history and, by statistical measures, as freakish as Bradman.His laconic wit and indifference to the trappings of wealth and fame have seen him recognised as a national treasure in his own lifetime. He is one of Australia's great characters.As Les Carylon writes, he simply isn't like anyone else. Cummings doesn't come into it: to everyone, he's just Bart. Carlyon is Australia's most revered observer of racing. For close to forty years he has known Bart and chronicled his remarkable career.Now, inThe Master, Carlyon gives us a portrait of the man, his horses and his world away from the glamour of the big race days. It shows us a Bart few have seen before. Intimate, personal, informed and captivating.The Masteris loaded with stories and characters that bring racing to life and reveal much of his character and the modus operandi of Bart.Illustrated with more than 100 photographs and paintings,The Masteris a sparkling piece of storytelling by one of Australia's most successful and acclaimed writers.

Softcover. Zustand: Near Fine. AUSTRALIAN MILITARY World War I - Winner of the inaugural Prime Minister's Prize for History, 2007. The Great War is Les Carlyon's extraordinary account of the Anzacs on the Western Front from 1916 to 1918. This new Picador edition is designed to sit alongside a matching edition of Gallipoli, his other classic work on Australia's involvement in the First World War.Destined to become an Australian classic. "The Great War is a deeply moving monument to a generation and what they endured. Read this book and weep." (West Australian)"A remarkably lucid and powerful narrative. This is a seasoned writer at the height of his powers." (Courier Mail)"Monumental. An emotional journey back to the Western Front that is at times almost unbearably poignant. In The Great War Carlyon has succeeded triumphantly in bringing back to life the essential character of the men of the First AIF in France. The Australians who fought long ago at Mouquet Farm, Messines, Polygon Wood and Passchendaele have gone, but, thanks to Carlyon, they are still with us. To paraphrase Bean, The Great War will stand as a lasting monument to that body of great-hearted men." (The Australian) xi, 863 p., [48] p. of plates : ill., maps, ports. ; 24 cm.
