Hardcover. Zustand: Good. 269 pages. dj worn ?¢? ~I don't know if my story is grand enough to be a tragedy, although a lot of shitty stuff did happen. It is certainly a love story but that did not begin until midway through the shitty stuff, by which time I had not only lost my 8-year-old son, but also my house and studio in Sydney where I had once been as famous as a painter could expect in his own backyard ?¢? ' So begins Pe ter Carey's highly charged, recklessly funny new novel. Narrated by artist Butch er Bones and his 'damaged 220 lb brother' Hugh, it recounts their adventures and troubles after Butcher's plummeting prices and spiralling drink problem force t hem to retreat from Sydney to northern New South Wales. Here the formerly famous artist is reduced to acting as caretaker for his patron and nurse to his idiot- savant brother. Then mysterious American beauty Marlene turns up one stormy nigh t, clad in a pair of Manolo Blahniks. Claiming that the brothers' neighbour owns an original Jacques Liebovitz, she sets in motion a chain of events that could be the making or ruin of them all. A truly brilliant novel - an act of fantastic writing bravura from Peter Carey, in which he once again displays his extraordi nary flair for language - THEFT is a love poem of a completely unexpected kind. Ranging from the rural wilds of Australia to Manhattan via Sydney and Tokyo and exploring the ideas of art, fraud, responsibility and redemption, this is a dark , thought-provoking and stirring story that will also make you laugh out loud.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. 512 pages. DJ slightly worn/ lightly marked. Text lightly tanned I was prime minister for three years and three days. Three years and three da ys of resilience. Three years and three days of changing the nation. Three years and three days for you to judge.On Wednesday, June 23, 2010, with the go vernment in turmoil, Julia Gillard asked Prime Minister Kevin Rudd for a leaders hip ballot. The next day, Julia Gillard became Australia's 27th prime minister, and their first female leader. Australia was alive to the historic possibilities . Here was a new approach for a new time. It was to last three extraordinary yea rs. This is Julia Gillard's chronicle of that turbulent time, a strikingly candi d self-portrait of a political leader seeking to realize her ideals. It is her s tory of what it was like?in the face of government in-fighting and often hosti le media?to manage a hung parliament, build a diverse and robust economy, crea te an equitable and world-class education system, ensure a dignified future for Australians with disabilities, all while attending to our international obligati ons and building strategic alliances for our future. This is a politician driven by a sense of purpose?from campus days with the Australian Union of Students, to a career in the law, to her often gritty, occasionally glittering rise up th e ranks of the Australian Labor Party. Refreshingly honest, peppered with a wry humor and personal insights, Julia Gillard does not shy away from her mistakes, admitting freely to errors, misjudgements, and policy failures as well as detail ing her political successes. Here is an account of what was hidden behind the re silience and dignified courage Gillard showed as prime minister, her view of the vicious hate campaigns directed against her, and a reflection on what it means.…
