Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Black Rock White Cityis a novel about the damages of war, the limits of choice, and the hope of love.During a hot Melbourne summer, Jovan's cleaning work at a bayside hospital is disrupted by acts of graffiti and violence becoming increasingly malevolent. For Jovan the mysterious words that must be cleaned away dislodge the poetry of the past. He and his wife Suzana were forced to flee Sarajevo and the death of their children.Intensely human, yet majestic in its moral vision,Black Rock White City is an essential story of Australia's suburbs now, of displacement and immediate threat, and the unexpected responses of two refugees as they try to reclaim their dreams. It is a breathtaking roar of energy that explores the immigrant experience with ferocity, beauty and humour. (back cover).…

Partial date due slip now covered with blank ex libris bookplate sticker. Body text and binding are still very good. Journalist Aaron Smith's new memoir holds up a unique mirror to Australia. What he sees is at once amazing, disturbing and revealing. The Rock explores the failings of our nation's character, its unresolved past and its uncertain future from the vantage point of its most northerly outpost, Thursday Island. Smith was the last editor, fearless journalist and the paperboy of Australia's most northerly newspaper, the Torres News, a small independent regional tabloid that, until it folded in late 2019, was the voice of a predominantly Torres Strait Islander and Aboriginal readership for 63 years across some of the most remote and little understood communities in Australia. The Rock is a story of self-discovery where Smith grapples to understand a national identity marred by its racist underbelly, where he is transplanted from his white-boy privileged suburban life to being a racial and cultural minority, and an outsider. Peppered with his experiences, Smith gradually and sensitively becomes embedded in island life while vividly capturing the endless and often farcical parade of personalities and politicians, including Scott Morrison and Tony Abbott.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Like the best true-life adventures, the story of Werner Pelz is stranger than fiction.Forced to flee Nazi Germany for being Jewish, he was interned in England for being German. Shipped to Australia on the notoriousHMT Dunera, he spent two years in internment camps in Hay and Tatura.After returning to Britain, his life evolved into a spiritual quest that led him to become an Anglican vicar, to author popular books (includingGod Is No More), to frequently appear on the BBC, and to become aGuardiancolumnist.Decades after his wartime Australian exile, he returned to teach sociology at La Trobe University, continuing his search for a new way of thinking, a new mythology.In the mid-1980s, a young university student, Roger Averill, was taught by this quietly charismatic man. The two developed an unlikely friendship, one that was to last until Werner's death, after which Roger's research unexpectedly revealed a deeper dimension, a personal life filled with familial drama, pain and poignancy.Both memoir and biography,Exile: The Lives and Hopes of Werner Pelz, is a compelling account of a remarkable man's lifelong search for a truth unbound by orthodoxy. It is also a lyrical evocation of an abiding friendship in which a teacher and a student share the lessons of love and loss, discovering that while the questions they ask have no answers, the act of asking them creates a meaning of its own.

Hardcover. Laminated boards. Zustand: AS NEW COPY. AUSTRALIANA Autobiography - âI was confined, locked into my library, tracing my heartbeats from way, way back.âInÂTelltale, Carmel Bird seizes on an enforced isolation to re-read a rich dispensary of books from her past. A rule she sets herself is that she can consult only the books in her house, even if some, such as the much-loved Thornton Wilderâs The Bridge of San Luis Rey, appear to be stubbornly elusive. Her library is comprehensive, and each book chosen - or that cannot be refused - enables an opening, a connection to people, time, place, myth, image, and the experience of a writing life. From her fatherâs bomb shelter to her motherâs raspberry jam, from a lost Georgian public library with ânarrow little streets of booksâ to the memory of crossing by bridge the turbulent waters of the Tamar River, to a revelatory picnic at Tasmaniaâs Cataract Gorge in 1945, this is the most intimate of memoirs.It is one that never shies from the horrors of world history, the treatment of First Nations People, or the literary misrepresentations of the past.Original, lyrical, and hugely enjoyable,ÂTelltale, with its finely wrought insight and artful storytelling, is destined to delight.âA book about books that dreams you through a library of life.â - Bruce PascoeâI have so loved this book! It walks us through the encounters of a lifetime, always with a delightful eye for strange connections and elusive memories. It is testimony to a life of great intellectual generosity and human compassion. It is irresistible.â - Michael McGirrpp. 288 First Edition #150226  Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.

Softcover. Zustand: Fair. Verschmutzung / Wasserschaden; Gebrochener Buchrücken / Seiten oder Softcover umgeknickt; Vergilbt / ausgeblichen; Abnutzung / Risse - deutlich. The Comfort of Water , Maya Ward's lyrical exploration of her river as it winds through the city and the wild is a revelation, a testament to the fact that the greatest of worlds are often at our doorstep. Its author understands the power of the natural world to transform lives, and writes about the connection between a river and the self with humility, humour, and a clear-headed wisdom. The telling of her own journey and that of her fellow walkers is seamlessly woven together with ecological and cultural history, the revelation of the pilgrim's path and the unknowable depth of Aboriginal myth. Through trekking this Wurundjeri Songline, this ancient, ever-renewing river, she discovers rich possibilities of belonging, and shares how a river can nourish the passion and resilience required to transform our world.…
