Paperback. From the Sudan to Northern New South Wales, Tarab is an epic, mesmerizing tale of high adventure and the search for meaning. Carl Cleves escapes national service in Belgium to live in South Africa at the height of the Apartheid era. So begins the adventures and quests, wanderings and narrow escapes, mishaps and illuminations of a guitar-toting troubadour in his roles as young beat poet, law student, single father, ethnomusicologist, relief worker in India and recording star in Brazil. Cleves's page turning memoir is no simple music biography, but rather the travel story of an artist's quest for Tarab: a place where music and poetry bestow true bliss upon the lucky one. It's by turns philosophical, funny, adventurous and insightful.Carl Cleves was born in Belgium. After completing his Doctorate of Law, in Belgium, he set out on a life of travel which took him to over fifty countries, eventually leading him to settle in Byron Bay, Australia. In Brazil he released 2 acclaimed albums. In Australia Carl established himself as a notable songwriter, with his compositions appearing on countless CD compilations and winning industry awards.The Hottentots have recorded 4 CDs, and have twice won NCEIA Best Album awards. In 2000 their song Put your hand in mine' was performed by a 700 voice choir and transmitted, as part of ABC TV's Today program to 60 countries. Their fourth CD Turn Back the Tide' won the Australian Songwriters' Association Award and the 2006 Music Oz Award. The Hottentots have performed at all major Australian festivals, in Europe and Latin America and in 2006 travelled to Madagascar, where Carl made a documentary about Malagasy culture and music to be released in the coming months. In August 2007 Carl was awarded the prize for Best Lyrics 2007 at the Australian Songwriters' Association Awards. He is also planning a collection of songs that will capture in music the spirit of his forthcoming book, Tarab. Good condition. Small inscription in front.

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.

Paperback. Zustand: As new. 1. 'From the treacherous auction houses of Melbourne to the sun-struck islands of Greece, Hydra took me places I never expected to go. Adriane Howell writes with the dreamy precision of Marguerite Duras, the humour-laced disquiet of Patricia Highsmith. A fever dream of a debut - elegant, savage, and delightfully unhinged.' Laura Elizabeth Woollett, author of Beautiful Revolutionary and The Newcomer'A puzzle box of creeping dread, Hydra had me questioning my own grasp on reality. This is sophisticated, genre-defying literary fiction of the first order.'Bram Presser, author of The Book of Dirt'Hydra crosses planes; it is superb, distinct, and breathtaking. It surprises, disturbs and enthrals at every turn.' Angela Meyer, author of A Superior Spectre and Moon Sugar.Anja is a young, ambitious antiquarian, passionate for the clean and balanced lines of mid-century furniture. She is intent on classifying objects based on emotional response and when her career goes awry, Anja finds herself adrift. Like a close friend, she confesses her intimacies and rage to us with candour, tenderness, and humour.Cast out from the world of antiques, she stumbles upon a beachside cottage that the neighbouring naval base is offering for a 100-year lease. The property is derelict, isolated, and surrounded by scrub. Despite of, or because of, its wildness and solitude, Anja uses the last of the inheritance from her mother to lease the property. Yet a presence - human, ghost, other - seemingly inhabits the grounds.Hydra is a novel of dark suspense and mental disquiet, struck through with black humour., Adriane Howell beguilingly explores notions of moral culpability, revenge, memory, and narrative - all through the female lens of freedom and constraint. She holds us captive to the last page. {"length"=>["23.4"], "width"=>["15.3"], "units"=>["Centimeters"]}.

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.
