CON UN'INTRODUZIONE DI ROBERT MACFARLANEAmbientato nell'Australia del diciannovesimo secolo, Voss è la storia della passione segreta tra un esploratore e una giovane donna ingenua. Sebbene si siano incontrati solo poche volte, Voss e Laura sono uniti da sentimenti travolgenti e ossessivi l'uno per l'altra. Voss si mette in viaggio per attraversare il continente e, mentre difficoltà, ammutinamenti e tradimenti indeboliscono la sua capacità di resistere e di guidare, il suo attaccamento a Laura aumenta gradualmente. Laura, in attesa a Sydney, attraversa i mesi di separazione come se fossero un sogno e Voss l'unica realtà.

Patrick White was born in England in 1912 and taken to Australia, where his father owned a sheep farm, when he was six months old. He was educated in England at Cheltenham college and King's College, Cambridge. He settled in London, where he wrote several unpublished novels, then served in the RAF during the war. He returned to Australia after the war.
He became the most considerable figure in modern Australian literature, awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1973. The great poet of Australian landscape, he turned its vast empty spaces into great mythic landscapes of the soul. His position as a man of letters was controversial, provoked by his acerbic, unpredictable public statements and his belief that it is eccentric individuals who offer the only hope of salvation. He died in September 1990.
