Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a series of true stories that the author gleaned from a long study of Australian history. The tales, published weekly over two years in a popular magazine, provide a glimpse into the first-hand accounts of the harsh lives, resilience, and suffering endured by convicts in Australia. The author's goal is to share some of the stories that have been forgotten in the telling of Australian history. Many of the convicts transported to Australia had little to no criminal record, sentenced to live under inhumane conditions as a way to rid the British Isles of their surplus population. The system devised to manage them was rife with cruelty and corruption, as evidenced in these accounts of convicts' lives. The book contends that the penal system profoundly shaped the national character of Australia, its social fabric, and its laws. The author argues that these stories deserve a place in the broader contexts of Australian literature and history, even as the convict chapters of the country's past are increasingly 'turned down.' This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780259611226_0
