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.

Описание: From the acclaimed Booker Prize-winning author comes a dazzling novel of family, love and love's disappointments

Anna's aged mother is dying. Condemned by her children's pity to living, subjected to increasingly desperate medical interventions, she turns her focus to her hospital window, through which she escapes into visions of horror and delight. When Anna's finger vanishes and a few months later her knee disappears, Anna too feels the pull of the window. She begins to see that all around her, others are similarly vanishing, yet no one else notices. All Anna can do is keep her mother alive. But the window keeps opening wider, taking Anna and the reader ever deeper into an eerily beautiful story of grief and possibility, of loss and love and orange-bellied parrots.

Hailed on publication in Australia as Richard Flanagan's greatest novel yet, The Living Sea of Waking Dreams is a rising ember storm illuminating what remains when the inferno beckons: one part elegy, one part dream, one part hope.
