Szomorkás, de szép, érzelmes, és természetesen megható, ahogy egyre közeledünk az elkerülhetetlen vég felé.Ī világ összességében nem sokat változott azóta, a körülményeinkben igen, de a gondolkodásunkban nem. ![]() A folyton kiújuló háború árnya ott lebeg a fejük felett, mégis azt mondanám, hogy az elbeszélés elsősorban romantikus. Ők csak a „csodagyerek fegyverhordozói”, valószínűleg senki ügyet sem vetett volna rájuk, ha a nagy harcos nem veszi őket a szárnyai alá.Ī történet elején van pár durva jelenet, ami arról szól, hogyan törik be őket, és hogyan próbálják a fájdalom elviselésére/kizárására szoktatni, de aztán bőven hagy időt a szerző a fiúk érzelmi életére, saját maguk és egymás felfedezésére, a felnőtté válásra. Nem ugyanaz nyilván, de van hasonlóság, kezdve azzal, hogy mindkét esetben egy olyan karakter szemszögéből láthatjuk az eseményeket (ott Patroklosz, itt Axios), akik nem lettek volna harcosok, ha bármi beleszólásuk van az életükbe. Sok tekintetben emlékeztet az Akhilleusz dalára. Laikusként érdekesnek találtam, és jó volt olvasni. ![]() Alapvető tudással rendelkezem csak ókori történelem és irodalom terén, szóval a könyv hitelességét olyan nagyon megítélni nem tudom. ![]() ![]() ![]() Growing Up Asian in Australia by Alice PungĪsian-Australians have often been written about by outsiders, as outsiders. If you’ve only ever watched the film that was based on this memoir, you need to add this one to your reading list ASAP. This extraordinary story of courage and faith is based on the actual experiences of three girls who fled from the repressive life of Moore River Native Settlement, following along the rabbit-proof fence back to their homelands. ![]() Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence by Doris Pilkington Wokrign Class Boy is a powerful reflection on a traumatic and violent childhood, which fuelled the excess and recklessness that would define, but almost destroy, the rock’n’roll legend. Raw, gritty, compassionate, surprising and darkly funny – Jimmy Barnes’ childhood memoir is at once the story of migrant dreams fulfilled and dashed. This anthology, compiled by award-winning author Anita Heiss, showcases many diverse voices, experiences and stories in order to answer the question “What is it like to grow up Aboriginal in Australia?”Īccounts from well-known authors and high-profile identities sit alongside those from newly discovered writers of all ages, with each speaking from the heart – sometimes calling for empathy, oftentimes challenging stereotypes, but always demanding respect. Growing Up Aboriginal In Australia by Anita Heiss In honour of the annual event, we’ve rounded up some must-read Australian memoirs that you won’t be able to put down. ![]() ![]() The two narrators have set the gold standard for dual male/female narration and they deserve to be very successful in their narration careers should they choose to continue (and I HOPE THEY DO!) The story in the third installment has more love and sex than action and intrigue, but the characters have become so engaging that I'm sure I'll keep listening to any future books in the series. Such depth and passion and poise where needed, and such fun and playfulness where needed. I can't imagine hearing the characters with any other voices The pacing and the level of ACTING is just top notch from both Ms. Each character is perfectly distinct and complete, and even the supporting characters have charm and individuality. They are wonderful and I am so thankful the author chose to cast them to bring this series to Audiobook. ![]() Really, I can't say enough about the stellar performances of Amber Lee Connors and Kieran Flitton. ![]() ![]() ![]() Jean Ritchie was born to Abigail (née Hall) Ritchie (1877-1972) and Balis Wilmar Ritchie (1869-1958) of Viper, an unincorporated community in Perry County in the Cumberland Mountains of southeastern Kentucky. ![]() She inspired a wide array of musicians, including Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Shirley Collins, Joni Mitchell, Emmylou Harris and Judy Collins. She also spent time collecting folk music in the United States and in Britain and Ireland, in order to research the origins of her family songs and help preserve traditional music. ![]() She is ultimately responsible for the revival of the Appalachian dulcimer, the traditional instrument of her community, which she popularized by playing the instrument on her albums and writing tutorial books. In adulthood, she shared these songs with wide audiences, as well as writing some of her own songs using traditional foundations. In her youth she learned hundreds of folk songs in the traditional way (orally, from her family and community), many of which were Appalachian variants of centuries old British and Irish songs, including dozens of Child Ballads. Jean Ruth Ritchie (Decem– June 1, 2015) was an American folk singer, songwriter, and Appalachian dulcimer player, called by some the "Mother of Folk". ![]() Folkways, Elektra, Sire, Greenhays, Flying Fish, Riverside, Tradition, Argo, Collector, June Appal Recordings, Pacific Cascade Records, Warner Brothers, Westminster ![]() ![]() ![]() Matte dust jacket, fine unclipped 27.95, protected in new clear sleeve.
