Produktbeschreibung

Rolf Boldrewood's novel, Babes in the Bush, provides readers with a captivating narrative set in the Australian outback. The book follows the adventures of two young siblings who find themselves navigating the harsh and unforgiving landscape in search of their parents. Boldrewood's literary style, characterized by vivid descriptions and compelling plot developments, immerses readers in the wild and untamed beauty of the Australian bush. The novel's exploration of themes such as survival, resilience, and the bond between family members makes it a timeless piece of Australian literature. Written in the late 19th century, Babes in the Bush offers readers a glimpse into the colonial era and the challenges faced by pioneers in the Australian frontier. Boldrewood's own experiences as a squatter in Australia undoubtedly influenced his portrayal of the landscape and characters in the novel. His deep connection to the land and its history shines through in his vivid storytelling and rich character development. I recommend Babes in the Bush to readers who enjoy classic literature, adventure stories, and historical fiction. Boldrewood's masterful storytelling and evocative prose make this novel a must-read for anyone interested in Australian literature and cultural history.

Autorenporträt

Thomas Alexander Browne, an Australian author, wrote many of his novels under the pseudonym Rolf Boldrewood. Robbery Under Arms, a novel about bushranging from 1882, is his best known work. Browne was born in London, the eldest child of Captain Sylvester John Brown, a former shipmaster for the East India Company, and his wife Elizabeth Angell, nee Alexander. His mother was his "earliest admirer and most indulgent critic, to whom is chiefly due whatever meed of praise my readers may hereafter vouchsafe" (Dedication Old Melbourne Memories). Thomas added the letter 'e' to his surname in the 1860s. After his father's barque Proteus delivered a cargo of convicts in Hobart, the family relocated to Sydney in 1831. Browne spent approximately twenty-five years as a squatter and almost the same amount of time as a government official, but his third profession as an author lasted forty years. While recovering from a riding accident in 1865, he published two articles for the Cornhill Magazine about pastoral life in Australia, and he started contributing articles and serial stories to Australian weeklies. One of these, Ups and Downs: A Story of Australian Life, was published as a book in London in 1878. It was well reviewed, but received little attention. In 1890, it was reissued under the title The Squatters Dream.
