Krátky popis
Peter Carey's two Booker Prize-winning novels, in one handsome
hardcover volume. Oscar and Lucinda is a sweeping, irrepressibly
inventive novel set in nineteenth-century Australia. Oscar, a
nervous Anglican minister who gambles on the instructions of the
Divine, joins forces with Lucinda, a teenaged heiress who buys a
glassworks to help liberate her sex. The resulting narrative tangle
of love, commerce, religion, and colonialism culminates in a
half-mad expedition to transport a glass church across the Outback.
In True History of the Kelly Gang, the legendary Australian outlaw
Ned Kelly speaks for himself, scribbling his narrative in
semiliterate but magically descriptive prose as he flees from the
police. To his pursuers, Kelly is nothing but a monstrous criminal,
but to his own people he is a hero defying the authority of the
English. In a dazzling act of ventriloquism, Peter Carey brings the
famous bushranger wildly and passionately to life.
