Описание: 1844. In the remote penal colony of Van Diemen`s Land, the adopted daughter of the island`s governor, a barefoot aboriginal girl, sits for a portrait. She is the object of a grand experiment to determine whether Christianity, science and reason can be imposed in place of savagery, impulse and desire. A quarter of a century later, Sir John Franklin and his crew disappear in the Arctic, seeking the Northwest Passage. England is horrified at reports of cannibalism filtering back from search parties. As several lives become conjoined by events and tragedies, `Wanting` becomes a remarkable meditation on the ways in which desire - and its denial - shape our lives.

Описание: This book was the Winner of the Man Booker Prize 2014. Forever after, there were for them only two sorts of men: the men who were on the Line, and the rest of humanity, who were not. In the despair of a Japanese Pow camp on the Burma Death Railway, surgeon Dorrigo Evans is haunted by his love affair with his uncle's young wife two years earlier.

Struggling to save the men under his command from starvation, from cholera, from beatings, he receives a letter that will change his life forever. Hailed as a masterpiece, Richard Flanagan's epic novel tells the unforgettable story of one man's reckoning with the truth.
