Remembering Babylon (Vintage Classic)
David Malouf
Item Description
In the 1840's, a ship's boy cast ashore in northern Australia is taken in by Aborigines; 16 years later he steps out of the bush and inadvertently confronts the new white settlers with unspoken terrors. This dramatisation of an edge- of- the- world encounter between the "civilised" and the "primitive" is outstanding: a deft and economical evocation of an entire nascent society, punctuated by moments of dazzling, revelatory language and unforgettable images.
