Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Riding the Sheep's Back: The Rise and Fall of John McNamara & Company tells the history of this iconic family of stock and station agents, well known in Victoria in the early 20th century. From the family's origins in Ireland and John McNamara's arrival in Australia in 1841, to the early years of the family business and the eventual sale of John McNamara & Company to Australian Estates in the late 1940's, this is a fascinating account of both the family and the founding of what was a very successful company for many years. Riding the Sheep's Back shares both the good and the bad, the beginnings and achievements of the company and the family businesses that so many of the McNamara family were a part of. It also tells of the unexpected, and in many ways tragic, final days of a company that had enjoyed such great success since it's early days at the Newmarket Saleyards.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. English ?No living writer knows Spain as well as Mr Brenan does,? V.S. Pritchett once said, ?and none has written about Spanish life, literature and history so searchingly.? The Face of Spain, Brenan?s classic travel book, gives us both a bird?s-eye view of life in Spain under Franco in 1949 and insights into a Spain and its people that are timeless and eternal. He wrote it for the first-time visitor as well as for the confirmed Hispanophile, providing a blend of history, anecdotes and digressions ? on Baroque art, on the thriving black market, on his search for Lorca?s grave in Granada, on wines, waiters and churches ? that adds up to an account richly redolent with the flavours of Spain. ?The ideal travel book would combine the fresh vision of the tourist with the experience of the oldest inhabitant. Such a combination hardly ever occurs. Mr Brenan has achieved this miraculous conjunction of the old and the new eye, of familiarity and surprise? ? Harold Nicolson in the Observer.
