Softcover. Condizione: Very Good. Melbourne is a city and Melba was a singer; it could be said that Dame Nellie was the Bradman of Australia's music until that other dame, Joan Sutherland, came along. Melba will never be forgotten in the city of her origins, nor did she intend it to forget her. When it was made clear that she ne…eded a stage name, she adapted the name of the place where her voice first broke into song. Australians, not noted for being a musical people, followed her fortunes from afar, feeling that she represented them, as she was often quite proud to do. It cannot be forgotten, however, that she could never have reached her heights in the mundane place whose name she borrowed. She had to win her glory elsewhere, and bring a little home. The essays in this volume begin by considering the singer's career, then assess her city in terms of the rejection that she had to make. How far has it come, how much has it changed, since she left and came back? Would a modern Melba have to leave? In the ebbs and flows of change and continuity, how much of the singer's Melbourne has been swept away, and how much of it remains? How good is it, and how distinctive are its ways? Do the very qualities that distinguish it also hold it back? These essays, making no claim to be the last word on anything, are a contribution to a city's life and thought two things that cannot avoid going together. 157 pages.

Softcover. Condizione: Very Good. The passion of Josephine and Don has ended before the book begins, ended by Jo because it is taking her away from where she has to be. Her children require of her that she turn from lover/wife into mother, and the most eloquent demand that she do so comes silently from a portrait on her wall. Th…e upraised hands silently insist on the transformation her mother has undergone before her. Submitting, she allows the change to take place. This requires both her husband and her former lover to adapt, and the book is the story of the changes that take place in all three. Painful as these developments are, each is made aware of other stories circulating in the world about them: humanity becomes, through the necessity of their development, the sum of all its tales. 157 pages.

Softcover. Condizione: Very Good. This book begins and ends at Grassy Hill, in Cooktown, far north Queensland, Australia. At the start, a teacher is pressing her students to consider the nature of history, which they are inclined to see as something separate from themselves. Her immediate subject is James Cook, his ship Endeavou…r, and its crew, but the aboriginal people of the vast continent the Englishmen are 'discovering' slowly become visible in the narrative; and the narrative itself comes under question: to understand it, should we use the Anglo-Saxon notion of history, or the Italian concept of istoria? How different are these ideas of history and story, and how much the same? Where does one end and the other start? The book follows the lives of ten members of the original history class but as they encounter lovers, partners, children, in-laws, friends and social contacts it becomes clear that the ten people we are following are not so much case studies as representative of humanity at large. At the end, we watch as another of our boys Old Boys dies and his ashes are thrown to the winds on the same Grassy Hill from which Cook and his men considered the world and their chances of getting home to England back in 1770. The hill and the questions it poses remain. 517 pages. Inscription to previous owner on front endpaper. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram.
