"1915 means Gallipoli, the birth of the Anzac myth - the year when Australians and New Zealanders sailed off in high hopes of adventure, only to find themselves faced with disaster.
"The tragedy and violence of that event provide the climax to this very personal, sensitive, and surprisingly romantic story. With remarkable skill Roger McDonald invites you to follow a typically Australian journey which parallels the nation's progress from its country childhood, through the adolescent exuberance of its young cities, to initiation on one of the world's ancient battlefields. It is a vital journey, haunted by meance and disillusionment.
"The novel is about two boys from the bush, the thoughtful and awkward Walter and his knowing friend Billy Mackenzie, and their girls Frances and Diana. Together they discover a future which seems full of promise, drawing them into the exciting turmoil of passion and war. But theirs is a fateful alliance, in a world too quickly passing, with an outcome they could never have foreseen."
The Great Depression - America, 1929-1941

TILBUD 30 DKK inkl. moms
In the twenty-five years since its publication, critics and scholars have praised historian Robert McElvaine’s sweeping and authoritative history of the Great Depression as one of the best and most readable studies of the era. Combining clear-eyed insight into the machinations of politicians and economists who struggled to revive the battered economy, personal stories from the average people who were hardest hit by an economic crisis beyond their control, and an evocative depiction of the popular culture of the decade, McElvaine paints an epic picture of an America brought to its knees—but also brought together by people’s widely shared plight.

An Insular Possession
Mo, Timothy
Bog
TILBUD 20 DKK inkl. moms
As realist fiction, An Insular Possession is a successor to nineteenth-century novels set against the broad canvas of European wars such as Vanity Fair or War and Peace, but also intervenes in the tradition with its remembering of Europe’s long neglected Chinese frontier. In the geographical movement away from Europe and its own late twentieth-century moment, the novel, as a project of memory, puts a further postcolonial spin on its venerable realist inheritance. An Insular Possession also explores the crucial issue of individual agency in shaping history.
