Hardcover. Etat : Good. Etat de la jaquette : Good. First Edition. Inscribed by Author. On the southern edge of the Domain, that little patch of Melbourne that is forever England, stands Melbourne Church of England Grammar School, its milieu dominated by the offices of British Petroleum, the elegant white tower of Government House, and the massive Graeco-Chaldean ziggurat of the Shrine of Remembrance. For one hundred and thirty years Melbourne Grammar has been the training ground for many of the nation?s gentlemen. It has provided rites of passage for homesick boys who have learned the decencies of social behaviour on the football ground, in the dining room, in the showers, under the dangerous glances of ?the East?, the school?s secret police. It was here the young Chester Eagle came in the late ?forties from his parents? farm near Finley, lovingly detailed in Mapping the Paddocks, to the alien, claustrophobic world of boarding school. Venerable in local time, the buildings of Melbourne Grammar have echoed to shouts, groans, laughter; to interrogation and exhortation; to chants, lectures, hymns and prayers. Here are those echoes. 151 pages. Light foxing to outer page edges. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo.

Hardcover. Etat : Good. Etat de la jaquette : Good. First Edition. Inscribed by Author. The time is 1971. The places are Melbourne, Sydney, and the tract of land between the Murray and Murrumbidgee Rivers. This is a novel about personality and how personality is shaped by place and period. It is also a novel of poignant human relationships: Edward Le Rossignol, the nightingale who wonÂ't allow his personality to be squashed flat and dull. Margaret Ward, a beautiful young art teacher who has yet to develop her own personality remote from her wealthy family and associates, turns to Edward. Their affair develops gradually  not a love relationship in the ordinary sense of the word, but an elaborate, intricate affair of vital importance to them both. As awareness of each otherÂ's personality grows, the reader is carried along, not merely as observer but as participants, committed to the characters. We become aware of a richly inflected medium, full of cross references, conveying the inner and outer lives of the characters who gain their full reality and stature at the moment of leaving the action, rather like a piece of music which is completed not by the last sounds but by the haunting echoes and reverberations left in the mind. 286 pages.
