Katoomba, eine australische Kleinstadt am Fuße der Blue Mountains, zieht Menschen an, die auf der Suche nach Heilung sind, darunter Tuberkulosekranke, Mystiker und reiche Ruheständler. Im Sommer 1907 erscheint Harry Kitchings, ein junger Fotograf mit einer bewegten Vergangenheit, der sich dem 'Dienst an den Wolken' widmet. Er sucht die flüchtigen, abstrakten Formen der Wolken und dokumentiert sie in immer neuen Variationen, inspiriert von dem berühmten Fotografen Harry Phillips. Eureka Jones, eine Apothekergehilfin, wird von seiner Leidenschaft für die Wolken angezogen und durchläuft unter seiner Anleitung eine 'Schule des Sehens', die ihre Sensibilität für das Unsichtbare schärft. Die Stadt und Eureka selbst erwarten, dass Harry ihr einen Heiratsantrag machen wird, auch wenn dieser lange auf sich warten lässt. Doch als Harry eines Tages nicht allein zurückkehrt, sondern mit einer Begleiterin, verändert sich alles. Diese Geschichte, erzählt von der 36-jährigen Eureka aus der Retrospektive, handelt nicht nur von einer unerfüllten Beziehung, sondern auch von Verzauberung, künstlerischer Berufung und der Selbstfindung einer starken Frau. …

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 2nd Edition. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Interior and binding are still excellent. Signed by author.Sydney has always been the sexiest and brashest of our cities, but perhaps the most misunderstood. In this new edition of Sydney, Delia Falconer conjures up its sandstone, humidity, jacarandas, fireworks, glitz and magic. But she discards lazy stereotypes to reveal a complex city: beautiful, violent, half-wild, and at times deeply spiritual. Melancholic, moving and funny, Sydney is intensely atmospheric and seductive. In a new afterword, Falconer ponders the city's twenty-first-century transformations - might it have become a softer, nicer place? Will it withstand the real impact of climate change.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Georgia, 1898: On what may be the last day of his life, Captain Frederick Benteen - the man who, in the minds of many Americans, might have saved Custer's Seventh Cavalry from death at Little Bighorn - receives a letter from an ambitious boy offering to 'restore" his reputation. In the years since, Benteen has silently watched as the public canonized Custer for dying and cursed Benteen for surviving. Now, at last, as he begins to put down some account of those two horrific days pinned down on a ridge in Montana, Benteen finds himself haunted by his lost companions: Star-Gazer, Handsome Jack, the gentle bugler De Rudio, and the Choir, a host of misfits who hover at the edges of the action. Benteen struggles to untangle his own story, his own worth, from the grand narrative of history and the 'nine tenths nothing' that make up battle. Funny, moving, rich in character and incident, this acclaimed novel avoids the bloody battle scenes and maudlin romance that characterize much fiction about the American-Indian wars in favor of an unsparing and poetic story that explores what it means to be a soldier - then and now. …
