Libro
Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The three long essays that make up The Bone House are an extended meditation on the life of the body and the life of the mind, each based on a single theme and woven out of the same few elemental symbols of earth, and water, fire and blood, light and darkness.What does art know that we do not? How does the image have such a hold on us all? Alongside the urge to grasp the world, to abstract and delve, is the urge to make our visions known, somehow to fix the moment in time in its fullness of meaning. In the essays, this hoard of moments takes the form of a mosaic, composed of myth, poetry and fable, of relics of the past, of explorations and illuminations and surface impressions. Set out like a commonplace book, they can be read in any sequence, or savoured for their detail.'Each passagefeels individually, organically formed, sustained of its own history, its ownair and light.' Josephine Rowe in LitHub'Farmeruses language arrestingly, and is arrested by it, and imparts this throughoutto her readerHere is a book not to rush through, but to savour, to put downand pick up again. It's the kind of book that sends us to other books, to learnmore.' Canberra Times Explores the nature of grief and mourning, illness and separation, language and silence, and the power of vision and memory to counteract time.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. *Winner of the Australian Book Design Award 2021: Best Designed Literary Fiction Cover*A new edition of Beverley Farmer's out-of-print classic A Body of Water, which in its mixing of genres essay, memoir, fiction, folk tale opened up new frontiers for Australian literatureA Body of Water was first published thirty years ago. The writing of the book takes place over a year, and portrays a complete cycle in the writer's life. It begins on her forty-sixth birthday, in a period of emotional inhibition and loneliness her marriage has broken down, and she is living on her own. By the end of the cycle the narrator has written short stories and poems, which are included in the book, alongside essays about the writing process, journal entries, excerpts from books she has been reading, spiritual meditations, and finely detailed observations of the life around her.The title A Body of Water could be taken to refer to the book's settings along the Bellarine Peninsula in southern Victoria, with its bays, the outer harbour, and the lighthouse, standing like a sentinel at the entrance to the ocean. It also suggests the diverse material which fills the book, like a body of water with all that it contains and nurtures. Throughout, one is aware of the the writer's own body, as an entity which shifts its identity like water, with its changes of mood, relationships and reflections.'Beverley Farmer's expansive curiosity and appreciation for microcosmic significance sharpen a reader's attention to all things lived, dreamed, and observed.' Josephine Rowe'A bold and beautiful, genre-defying book, weaving together process and product, reflections on reading and the luminous moments of everyday life into a work that shimmers with allusion, insight and charm. It remains as striking and important a book now as it was in its original context.' Fiona Wright Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A new edition of Beverley Farmers classic 1980 debut, out of print for many years. Alone captures the emergence of one of Australias most powerful and distinctive writers.Set in Melbourne in the late 1950s, and taking place over the course of two days and nights, Alone chronicles the feelings of obsession and hopelessness, isolation and desire provoked by the ending of an intimate relationship. A young woman, a fledgling writer, recalls her passion for her female lover, who has left her. She is estranged from her family and has dropped out of university, and is contemplating ending her life. As she travels through the night-time streets, industrial areas and boarding houses of a Melbourne fallen into economic depression and cultural malaise, she reflects on the days and months past that have brought her to despair.Written in a style threaded with gothic motifs, and shadowed by the constant threat of sexual violence, Beverley Farmers debut novel captures the romantic intensity and ironic reversals of youthful longing. It displays her remarkable capacity for bringing different forms of writing together in a single work, prose and poetry, dialogue and dramatic monologue, as well as her reflections on other writers work. Based partly on her own experiences, Alone shows the formation of a literary voice in writing that is both heightened and flowing, lyrical and precise.Praise for Beverley Farmer:As she explores the frailty of emotional experience, Farmer places her characters in a luminous domain of elemental sensual experience Cassandra PybusBeverley Farmers expansive curiosity and regard for microcosmic significance sharpen a readers attention to all things lived, dreamed, and observed.
