Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In a saga that follows the changes in fortune of the Gregory family over several generations, Janet Robertson combines fictional characters and events with elements taken from the true story of her great-great grandfather Captain Allen Gardiner RN as well as other aspects of her family history and her own life. The story spans two centuries and takes place in locations as far apart as England, Australia and New Zealand. Running like a thread throughout this family saga is the aftermath of a tragic incident that took place in the nineteenth century. This fateful event, whose echoes reverberate down the generations, is brought finally to a conclusion in the twenty-first century, thus healing a long unrighted wrong. Key to the lives and events of each succeeding generation is the presence of a beautiful, red-haired, green-eyed daughter.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In the early 1990s, Bill Lyon (who twice stood as an Australian Labor Party candidate for election to the Western Australian parliament) adopted the persona of 'Sir Bruce Fernargle-Jones' in order to provide satirical commentary on local, national and international politics from the 'inside', so to speak. In his weekly radio broadcasts on the Australian Broadcasting Commission, he turned a humorous, knowledgeable and sceptical eye on the foolishnesses, foibles, failings, faults and frailties of prime ministers, premiers and presidents as well as many others of greater or lesser significance - questionable businessmen, trendy fashionista, errant Royalty - as well as on passing social issues and mores.This book gathers together for the first time the scripts Lyon prepared for the broadcasts he made late at night, which originated in Perth but which were relayed throughout Australia. The Chinese curse, 'May you live in interesting times', although probably bogus, seems nonetheless to have been visited upon Sir Bruce Fernargle-Jones, and his perspective upon those 'interesting times' provided the substance of the commentaries reproduced in this book. Together they represent a comic time capsule of the twists and turns - and occasional lunacies - of Australian (and sometimes international) politics and society during a stimulating era.In addition to Sir Bruce's talks, the book contains material 'drawn from the archives of the Rottnest Island Film Commission' of which fictional organisation Sir Bruce Fernargle-Jones was the fictional chairman (a 'fact' to which he often refers in his broadcasts). This material mainly consists of radio and television scripts for comedy programs based on the idea of the incompetent operations of the said Rottnest Island Film Commission - scripts that were written by Bill Lyon and Neil Rattigan a decade earlier than the Sir Bruce broadcasts but from which he arose like a middle-aged, paunchy, self-opinionated Botticelli Venus. There are also reproduced some related correspondence, memoranda and assorted trivia.…
