Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning three generations, Capricornia tells the story of Australia's north. It is a story of whites and Aborigines and Asians, of chance relationships that can form bonds for life, of dispossession, murder and betrayal. 'Capricornia will always be one of the greatest of Australian novels, a defining work in the search for what it is, or was, to be Australian.' Australian Book Review Spanning three generations, Capricornia tells the story of Australia's north. It is a story of whites and Aborigines and Asians, of chance relationships that can form bonds for life, of dispossession, murder and betrayal. In 1904 the brothers Oscar and Mark Shillingsworth, clad in serge suits and bowler hats, arrive in Port Zodiac on the coast of Capricornia. they are clerks who have come from the south to join the Capricornian Government Service. Oscar prospers, and takes to his new life as a gentleman. Mark, however, is restless, and takes up with old Ned Krater, a trepang fisherman, who tells him tales of the sea and the islands, introduces him to drink, and boasts of his conquests of Aboriginal women - or 'Black Velvet', as they are called. But it is Mark's son, Norman, whose struggles to find a place in the world embody the complexities of Capricornia itself. 'My Capricornia is a hymn book written in adoration of Australia ... the Land of the Unshackled Southern Cross, the Australian earth itself, out of a passionate love of which alone can a true Australian Nation grow.' Xavier Herbert

Download or read book South of Cancer North of Capricorn written by DB Martin and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2001-05-17 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beautiful Charlotte Amalie can take your breath away and it literally does to victims of a racist serial killer and the vigilante who seeks him. The warm blue water of the islands is the facade behind which boils centuries of hate and mistrust among the confluenced people who inhabit the fair shores. Slavery's final hateful act is to not allow the past to be forgotten. It rushes constantly to the reptilian portion of everyman's brain and brings civilization back to its beginnings in the slash of a blade or the flash of an explosion. Kodi is singled out because his lover is of another race and from that ill-founded beginning there comes enough death and hate to rival equally dark periods of history. When next the reader disembarks from his cruise ship, he/she will see in those staring eyes and dark alleys, scenes one had hoped were forever washed from human experience.

Download or read book A Long and Winding Road written by Sean Monahan and published by UWA Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part literary criticism, part literary detective story, this is the first major study of the work of Xavier Herbert, one of the great Australian novelists of the 20th century. It began as an attempt to answer two questions: Why did a novel as magnificent as Poor Fellow My Country receive so lukewarm a response from much of the critical establishment? And how did a man who sometimes wrote so badly ever learn to write such a novel? In exploring these questions, Sean Monahan provides perceptive new readings of Herbert's major works, and he looks in each of the earlier works for clues to solve the mystery of where the final great achievement came from. This engaging, accessible book makes a substantial and original contribution to an understanding of Herbert's fiction, while at the same time telling the human story of a writer's rocky road to creating a masterpiece.
