A Country Too Far (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

'Constitutes an important contribution to a great moral issue of our time . . . There is in these contributions a palpable sense of the writer's higher duties; to truth-telling and bearing witness, and to the better lights of human nature, but not at the expense of art. . . . There is a passion about the book, and a moral, emotional and artistic synergy that makes for deeply satisfying
reading. It is as if the contributors have themselves felt dispossessed, not of their land, but of the idea of their own country, and have seized the opportunity to reclaim it. . . . A fine book like A Country Too Far, one that inspires both compassion and anger, can change the way people think and act, and encourage them to expect more from themselves and their nation.' Sydney Morning Herald
