Xanthe is drawn to Ithaca, the birthplace of her father, Manoli and her grandfather, Mentor.

Sea of Many Returns is a profound meditation on displacement, nostalgia and exile. It affirms the enduring resonance of the Odyssey for voyagers of all times. (publisher blurb).

Soft cover. Zustand: Fair. 1st Edition. Fair condition. Wear to book edges and corners. Stiffness to pages near the spine from dampness. All pages are separate. A readable copy. When Brooklyn naturalists Margaret Mittelbach and Michael Crewdson stumbled across an ancient stuffed tiger in their local Natural History museum, they…were immediately smitten. The Tasmanian tiger hasn't been seen alive since 1936, but with their friend, artist Alexis Rockman, they embarked upon a wild cat chase to find surviving tigers in the Tasmanian jungle. Journeying through the prehistoric landscape, they came face to face with Tasmanian devils, fervent tiger hunters and scientists who could have come straight out of Jurassic Park. And there, just out of sight, lurking behind the next tree . is that a tiger's tail? Packing an off-kilter sense of humour and keen scientific minds, authors Margaret Mittelbach and Michael Crewdson take off with renowned artist Alexis Rockman on a postmodern safari. Their mission: Tracking down the elusive Tasmanian tiger. This mysterious, striped predator was once the world's largest carnivorous marsupial. It had a pouch like a kangaroo and a jaw that opened impossibly wide to reveal terrifying choppers. Tragically, this rare and powerful animal was hunted into extinction in the early part of the twentieth century. Or was it? Journeying first to the Australian mainland and then south to the wild island of Tasmania, these young naturalists brave a series of bizarre misadventures and uproarious wildlife encounters in their obsessive search for the long-lost beast. From an ancient cave featuring an Aboriginal painting of the tiger to a lab in Sydney where maverick scientists are trying to resurrect the animal through cloning, this intrepid trio comes face-to-face with blood-sucking land leeches and venomous bull ants, a misbehaving wallaby who invades their motel room, and a crew of flesh-eating, bone-crunching Tasmanian devils gorging on roadkill. They bond with trappers, bushwackers, and wildlife experts who refuse to abandon the tiger hunt, despite the paucity of evidence. Sifting through local myths, bar-room banter, and historical accounts, these environmental detectives sweep readers into a world where platypus swim, kangaroos roam, and a large predator with a pouch was, or perhaps still is, queen of the jungle. Filled with Alexis Rockman's stunning drawings of flora and fauna'-made from soil, wombat scat, and the artist's own blood 'Carnivorous Nights is a hip and hilarious account of an unhinged safari, as well as a fascinating portrayal of a wildly unique part of the world. Illus. By Alexis Rockman (illustrator).

Matilda lives on an island somewhere in the Pacific, but this is no paradise. Civil war is a fact of life, though at first, the village is largely left alone by the soldiers and the rebel… fighters.The school is closed, but then Mr Watts, the only white man on the island, steps forward to do what he can to help. He begins by reading Great Expectations aloud to his students, a chapter a day. Stories flourish on the island. While the lives of Pip and Magwitch and other Dickens characters are transformed in their new tropical setting, the locals come to the schoolhouse to tell their own tales about the meaning of the colour blue, about broken dreams, blackbirds and devil women.In Matilda's eyes, Pip is as real as any living person. He has become her friend. She writes his name in the sand and decorates it with shells. That's where the redskin soldiers see it and decide they must track this stranger down. Who is this Mr Pip? The search for him will have devastating consequences for Matilda, Mr Watts and the entire village. (publisher blurb).

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.Shortly before his death in 1981, Stefan Hertmans' grandfather gave him a couple of filled exercise books. Stories he'd heard as a child had led Hertmans to suspect that their contents might be disturbing, and for years he didn…'t dare to open them. When he finally did, he discovered unexpected secrets. His grandfather's life was marked by years of childhood poverty in late-nineteenth-century Belgium, horrific experiences on the frontlines during the First World War and the loss of the young love of his life.He sublimated his grief in the silence of painting. Drawing on these diary entries, his childhood memories and the stories told within Urbain's paintings, Hertmans has produced a poetic novelisation of his grandfather's story, brought to life with great imaginative power and vivid detail. War and Turpentine is an enthralling search for a life that coincided with the tragedy of a century and a posthumous, almost mythical attempt to give that life a voice at last. (back cover).

Soft cover. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. Good to very good condition. Wear to book edges and corners. Interior and binding are still very good. Australia's favourite country cop, Hirsch, is back in Consolation, the follow-up to Peace and Bitter Wash Road. Winter in Tiverton. Constable Paul Hirschhausen has a snowdropper on his pa…tch. Someone is stealing women's underwear, and Hirsch knows enough about that kind of crime, how it can escalate, not to take it lightly. However, the more immediate concerns are a call from the high school, a teacher worried about a student who may be in danger at home. Another call, a different school, a man enraged about the principal's treatment of his daughter. A little girl in harm's way and an elderly woman in danger. An absent father who isn't where he's supposed to be; another who flees to the back country armed with a rifle. Families under pressure. And the cold, seeping feeling that something is very, very wrong. (publisher blurb).

Soft cover. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Pages have sunned. Some water staining near left spine at book back. Country is a panoramic book about a scientist and a continent. As he describes his own passionate encounters with the land and its people, Flannery pays particular attention… to the evolution of Australia's most distinctive animal, the kangaroo. He shows us how the destiny of this extraordinary creature is inseparable from the environment which created it. The kangaroo may seem as familiar to us as the eucalypt or the desert, a symbol on a road sign or the tail of a passenger plane, but readers of Country will never see our national emblem in the same way again. Tim Flannery's Country teaches us how this vast continent is not at all 'a ghastly blank', but a land of subtlety and complexity that becomes comprehensible to those who take the time to learn its hidden and ancient languages.

Previous owner has added ownership sticker on inside page, now covered with blank ex libris bookplate sticker. Pages have sunned. Growing up in suburban Perth in the 1920s, the two Durack girls were fascinated by…tales of the pioneering past of their father and grandfather overlanding from Queensland in the 1880s and setting up four vast cattle stations in the remote north. A year spent together on the stations in their early twenties ignited in the sisters a lifelong love of the Kimberley, along with a growing unease about the situation of the Aboriginal people employed there. Through war, love affairs, children and eventually old age, the Duracks continued to write and paint, their closely intertwined creative lives always shaped by the enduring power of the Kimberley region. With unprecedented access to hundreds of private family letters, unpublished memoirs, diaries and family papers, Brenda Niall gets to the heart of a uniquely Australian story that spans the twentieth century.

Dust jacket is in good condition with small tears to the top edge that are now covered with protective book tape. Interior and binding are still very good. In 1806, William Thornhill, a man… of quick temper and deep feelings, was transported from the slums of London to New South Wales for the term of his natural life. With his wife, Sal, and their children, he arrives in a harsh land he cannot understand. But the colony can turn a convict into a free man. Eight years later, Thornhill sails up the Hawkesbury to claim a hundred acres for himself. Aboriginal people have already lived on that river. And other recent arrivals—Thomas Blackwood, Smasher Sullivan and Mrs Herring—are finding their own ways to respond to them. Thornhill, a man neither better nor worse than most, soon has to make the most difficult choice of his life. Inspired by Grenville's research into her own family history.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Very good condition. Minor wear to book edges and corners. Minor mark on tail foredge. Pages are sunned. Tim Flannery's first major book since The Weather Makers charts the history of life on our planet. Here on Earth, which draws its points of departure from Darwin and Wallace, Lovel…ock and Dawkins, is an extraordinary exploration of evolution and sustainability. Our success as a species has had disastrous effects on many of the Earth's ecosystems and could lead to our downfall. But equally, Flannery argues, we are now equipped as never before to explore our true relationship with the planet on which our biological, economic and cultural futures depend. Here on Earth is not just a dazzling account of life on our planet. It will change the way you live.

Interior and binding are still excellent. Macedonia, 1917. The great city of Salonika is engulfed by fire as all of Europe is ravaged by… war. Amid the destruction are those who have come to the frontlines to heal: surgeons, ambulance drivers, nurses, orderlies and other volunteers. Four of them, Stella, Olive, Grace and Stanley, are at the centre of Gail Jones's extraordinary new novel, which takes its inspiration from the wartime experiences of Australians Miles Franklin and Olive King, and British painters Grace Pailthorpe and Stanley Spencer. In Jones's imagination, these four lives intertwine and change, each compelled by the desire to create something meaningful in the ruins of a broken world. Immersive and gripping, Salonika Burning illuminates not only the devastation of war but also the vast social upheaval of the times.

Soft cover. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. Book Description Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges, particularly back cover with a fold on left corner. Interior and binding are still excellent. It's footy season in Melbourne, and Helen Garner is following her grandson's under-16s team. She not only goes to every… game (give or take), but to every training session too, shivering on the sidelines at dusk, fascinated by the spectacle. She's a passionate Western Bulldogs fan (with an imperfect grasp of the rules) who loves the epic theatre of AFL football. But her devotion to the under-16s offers her something else. This is her chance to connect with her youngest grandchild, to be close to him before he rushes headlong into manhood. To witness his triumphs and defeats, to fear for his safety in battle, to gasp and to cheer for his team as it fights for a place in the finals. With her sharp eye, her generous wit and her warm humour, Garner documents this pivotal moment, both as part of the story and as a silent witness. The Season is an unexpected and exuberant book- a celebration of the nobility, grace and grit of team spirit, a reflection on the nature of masculinity, and a tribute to the game's power to thrill us.

Soft cover. Zustand: Good. 2nd Edition. Good condition. Wear to book corners. Pages are sunned. Large format paperback. The Lieutenant was inspired by a real story hidden for two centuries in the pages of a couple of shabby blue notebooks stored in a London manuscript library. The notebooks belonged to William Dawes, a soldier i…n the first days of the Colony of New South Wales, and they record his efforts to learn the language of the indigenous people of Sydney. Between the lines they reveal an extraordinary friendship - warm, playful and respectful - between him and one of his teachers, a young indigenous girl called Patyegarang. Reading the conversations in the notebooks - what she said, what he said - you long to know who these two remarkable people were, who could reach out across gulfs of difference and form a friendship that still blazes off the page two centuries later. Those conversations were the starting-point for the novel. I didn't change any of the words in those conversations, but tried to draw a picture of the circumstances in which they might have happened. This is a novel, but it stays close to the historical events. They bring up issues that are still with us. How do we value difference, and learn to communicate across it? How do we learn how to listen as well as speak, and how do we respond when life presents us with a moral choice that leaves no room for evasion? (Kate Grenville).

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Interior and binding are still excellent. Australia has undergone a profound change in the nineties. The way we live and think has been influenced by recession, by the theories of economic rationalism, by the fall of Keating a…nd the rise of Howard, by debates about race, the republic, the Holocaust, censorship and euthanasia. In The Way We Live Now, Manne writes powerfully about why bureaucrats and politicians ordered Aboriginal children to be taken from their families. He discusses why politicians tell lies. He debates the nature of Australian history and the fierce arguments over contemporary sexual politics. Not everyone will agree with Robert Manne on every issue, but no one who wants to understand Australia can ignore his clear, passionate and balanced voice.
