Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Homicide in Hydra: George Johnston Crime Novels is about the 'forgotten' five crime novels written by the Australian novelist George Johnston (perhaps not Australia's Hemingway but an author held in very high regard nevertheless), which he wrote under the pseudonym 'Shane Martin, ' while living on Hydra in Greece between 1957 and 1962. While they are all out-of-print, they are well-written, entertaining crime novels which, surprisingly, are almost as autobiographical as his greatest book, My Brother Jack.In 1951, the acclaimed two-time Miles Franklin Prize-winning Australian author, George Johnston (1912-1970), together with his wife, the Australian author Charmian Clift (1923-1969), their son Martin (1947-1990), and their daughter Shane (1949-1973) moved from Australia to England; then, in 1954, they moved to Greece. They lived on Kalymnos for about a year before settling on Hydra, where the Johnstons' third child, Jason was born in 1956. They returned to Australia in 1964.Johnston wrote many books while living on Hydra, including five crime novels under the pseudonym Shane Marin, featuring the diminutive, sixty-something, American archaeologist and amateur sleuth Professor Ronald Challis who lives in England and does his fieldwork in Greece; as well as Johnston's break-through autobiographical novel, My Brother Jack (1964), which many argue is 'the great Australian novel' - at least of the second half of the twentieth century. Johnston's Professor Challis series of books consists of Twelve Girls in the Garden (1957), The Saracen Shadow (1957), The Man Made of Tin (1958), The Myth is Murder (1959, titled The Third Statue in the USA), and A Wake for Mourning (1962, titled Mourners' Voyage in the USA). As Australian mid-twentieth century crime fiction goes, Johnston's seven crime novels are very good and certainly deserve an audience. However, like much of what he wrote prior to the publication of My Brother Jack, they have been largely forgotten. Therefore, Homicide in Hydra: George Johnston's Crime Novels examines the Professor Challis series in depth for the first time.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Australian Western in the Fifties: Kangaroo, Hopalong Cassidy on Tour, and Whiplashlooks at Australian Westerns from three points of view-film, personal appearance, and television at the beginning, middle, and end of the 1950s, the American Western's golden age. It looks at three significant but 'forgotten' cases: (1)Kangaroo: The Australian Story, the first Technicolor film made in Australia, produced by the Hollywood movie studio 20th Century Fox, directed by the Academy Award-winning filmmaker Lewis Milestone, starring Maureen O'Hara, Peter Lawford, and Richard Boone. (2) The successful goodwill tour of Australia by the Hollywood actor William Boyd who played the film, radio, and television cowboy Hopalong Cassidy. (3) The British-American produced black-and-white TV seriesWhiplash, made in Australia and starring the Hollywood actor Peter Graves. The American filmmakers' ignorance of Australia meant they learned the hard waythere was more to Australian Westerns than simply replacing the prairie with the bush, bison with kangaroos, and Native Americans with Aboriginals. Indeed, the depiction of place and the presentation of Aboriginal culture are two of the most intriguing aspects of Australian Westerns. In retelling the filmmakers' stories, a unique picture of the Australian film and television industry and everyday life during the 1950s is revealed.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - 'Derham Groves has written this illuminating story of an exceptional but hitherto unsung Australian architect whose distinctive designs in China as well as his homeland may still be seen and enjoyed. In this book Groves has for the first time revealed some characteristic strands of Arthur Purnell's talents, whereby his subject's remarkable creativity is now clear for us to enjoy.' - Robert Irving, architecture historian and pupil of Arthur PurnellArthur Purnell's 'Forgotten' Architecture: Canton and Cars focuses on two early phases in the career of the much overlooked and underrated Australian architect, Arthur Purnell (1878-1964). In 1903, Purnell teamed up with the American engineer, Charles Paget (1874-1933) in Canton, China. Between 1903 and 1910, Purnell and Paget designed many important and impressive buildings, including the Arnhold, Karberg & Co. building (1907), one of the first reinforced concrete buildings in Southern China, and the South China Cement Factory (1907), which would later become the headquarters of Dr. Sun Yatsen (1866-1925), the first president of the Republic of China. Not many architects can design a cement factory fit for a president's palace! When Purnell returned to Australia in 1910, he had to start again from scratch. As cars were taking over from horses in a big way, he saw that designing for cars would be the next big thing in architecture. The fledgling Australian car industry was full of colourful, larger-than-life characters like Col. Harley Tarrant (1860-1949), who built his first car in 1897 and Australia's first petrol-fuelled car in 1901, and Alec Barlow Sr. (1880-1937), the archetypal dodgy car salesman. Purnell wanted in, designing many buildings for both men, including early car factories and car showrooms. In this unique book, Groves asks: why isn't Arthur Purnell more famous.…
