Australian Colonists order quantity

NZ$ 53.00 each
Paperback
Author: K.S. Inglis
Published by: Melbourne University Press
In "Australian Colonists", the author examines the period beginning with British settlement in 1788, to 1870, the year when the last British soldiers sailed home from the colonies. We read of convicts, currency lads and emigrants. We are shown the holidays the newcomers carried with them from the old world and the new fetes they made as colonists. We see them facing their natural enemies in the land, and having their tranquillity pierced by bushrangers and by rebellious convicts, military officers and gold diggers. We hear with them the sound of distant war. We meet the men they honoured and we read of efforts by poets and orators to turn the Australian experience into history.

Meet Jordy. He' s on his own in New York City. Nobody to depend on; nobody depending on him. And it' s been working fine. Until this girl comes along. She' s 18 and blond and pretty- her world should be perfect. But she' s seen things no one should ever see in their whole life- the kind of things that break a person. She doesn' t seem broken, though. She seems . . . innocent. Like she doesn' t know a whole lot. Only sometimes she does. The one thing she knows for sure is that the world is an ugly place. Now her life may depend on Jordy proving her wrong. So they hit the road to discover the truth- and there' s no going back from what they find out. This deeply felt, redemptive novel reveals both the dark corners and hidden joys of life' s journey- and the remarkable resilience of the human soul.
