From its initial appearance, Wild Cat Falling was recognised as a profoundly important work. Mudrooroo first published it under the name Colin Johnson. And when it was released by Angus & Robertson in 1965, Aboriginals were not considered Australian citizens, did not have the right to vote, and no novel written by an Aboriginal Australian had made it to print.<br /> <br />In telling the story of a symbolically nameless young Aboriginal man, and of his re-entry into society after a period of incarceration, Mudrooroo offered insights into an Aboriginal's sense of isolation, his literal and metaphorical imprisonment, and his estrangement from his own people and culture. The young man belongs neither to the white society that shuns him nor to the Aboriginal fringe dwellers who inhabit the white society's periphery. While he can 'talk the talk' of the subversive white 'bodgies', they offer no more clue to his identity than do the university students he charms with his parodic existential angst.<br /> <br />This fiftieth anniversary edition of Mudrooroo's Wild Cat Falling, including an updated introduction and autobiography by Mudrooroo, highlights this writer's importance to Australian literature. Wild Cat Falling has been in print continuously since its initial publication in 1965. It is frequently read as a school and university text, and it has helped to establish Mudrooroo as a writer recognised widely throughout the world.

The fifth and final volume of poetry by the author of Wild Cat Falling was originally published in India in 2013. There are 45 poems from the Master of the Ghost Dreaming, as he reels and sways through his long held interest in Buddhism and the Blues. While still writing about rejuvenation and the great cycles of Life, there is a strong awareness of finality, of passing on, of Death. Always lyrical, this is a wonderful offering from the award-winning poet.
Aboriginals believe they have lived in Australia since the Dreamtime, the beginning of all creation, and archaeological evidence shows the land has been inhabited for tens of thousands of years. Over this time, Aboriginal culture has grown a rich variety of mythologies in hundreds of different languages. Their unifying feature is a shared belief that the whole universe is alive, that we belong to the land and must care for it. This was the first book to collate and explain the many fascinating...
Lost is the way to the skyland. Our souls wander forlornly in the land of ghosts. Our spirits become their play things; our bodies their food, to be ripped apart, and our gnawed bones are scattered. We are in despair; we are sickening unto death; we call to be healed. Anxiously we wait for our mapan, the Master of the Ghost Dreaming to deliver us.<br /> <br />In the first years of the 19th century a small Aboriginal tribe reels under the threat of white invasion of their ancestral...
Set during the Gold Rush days, The Promised Land concludes Mudrooroo's fantastical voyage through the history of Australia around the time of its colonisation by the British. This is satire at its most cutting, and entertaining.<br /> <br />Sir George Augustus returns to the Great South Land with his young wife, Lady Lucy, intending to establish a mission to educate and 'Christianise' the native people. When he hears that gold has been found on the land, his missionary...
П’єр Паоло Пазоліні (1922—1975) — відомий італійський письменник і режисер, що полюбляв експериментувати у своїй творчості: він писав вірші, романи, сценарії до театральних постановок, нариси й кіносценарії. «Я розпочав писати книгу, яка буде моєю справою протягом років, може, до кінця життя. Не хочу про неї розповідати…; досить сказати, що це щось штибу «підсумку» всього, що я пізнав, усіх моїх спогадів». Так Пазоліні описав свій останній роман, якому судилося лишитися незавершеним через...
Найджел, Гарольд и Карма — обычные люди. Такие же, как мы с вами. Но кто сказал, что «обычные люди» не могут стать образцом настоящего насилия? Нью-Йорк. 2017-й год. Лучшее время и место для того, чтобы жить счастливо. Но они не могут. И у каждого на это своя причина: одиночество, зависть, неразделенная любовь… Думаете, что вы никогда не переступите черту? Они тоже так думали. Но у жизни на нас свои планы.
Привет,этот роман жесток,сюрреалистичен и в нем много событий,схожих с теми,что происходят в повседневной жизни. Некоторым он покажется интересным,некоторым покажется кощунственным,но равнодушным точно не оставит. В центре повествования– простой человек, который в силу обстоятельств слышит голоса и пытается от них избавиться.
