Krátky popis
The beloved Australian classic, published in a stunning Penguin
Clothbound Classics edition for the first timeMiles Franklin’s
debut novel follows the vivacious and rebellious sixteen-year-old
Sybylla Melvyn – closely modelled on Franklin herself – as she
fights to break free of restrictive bush life. Growing up on her
parents’ outback farm, Sybylla is desperate to read, write, sing
and achieve great things. Yet her aspirations for a ‘brilliant
career’ are persistently thwarted, first by the arduous demands of
rural family life, and later by the shackles of a proposed
conventional marriage to the wealthy Harold Beecham.With only her
brilliant, conflicted mind to guide her, Sybylla is forced to
define a life on her own terms. My Brilliant Career is acclaimed
for capturing the spirit of Australia at the turn of the twentieth
century. The struggles of its fiery, precocious protagonist shine a
light on the emergent women’s rights and suffrage movement during
this period, and memorably evoke the intensity of youth.
