THE WORDS THAT MADE AUSTRALIA: HOW A NATION CAME TO KNOW ITSELF
Book ID/图书代码: 01899513B66839
English Summary/英文概要: This is not a book of documents, snippets or worthy speeches.
Instead it presents the original essays and the moments of insight that told us what Australia is and could be. These are the essential statements – from historians, reporters, novelists, mavericks and visionaries – that take us from federation to the present-day, and tell a story of national self-discovery.
There is the Frenchman who saw that Australia was a “workingman’s paradise”, and the historian who explained why.
The two reporters who realised the true significance of Gallipoli and conveyed it to the nation.
The Australian Legend, the Australian Ugliness, the Lucky Country and the Great Australian Silence – and much more.
Memorably written and cohesive, this is the essential sourcebook for the words that made Australia.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 这不是一本档案史书,不是零星史料,也不是什么叫人赞叹的演讲稿。相反的,本书将为我们呈现最原始的文献资料与重要的顿悟时刻,告诉我们澳大利亚究竟是什么,可以变成何种模样。书中那些从历史学家,演说家,小说家,特立独行者以及远见家们口中获得的珍贵陈述将带领我们走过联邦制,来到现在,为我们讲述有关于一个国家的自我认知之旅。
法国人曾认为澳洲是“劳动者们的天堂”,本书中,历史学家将为你细细道来其中原委。
本书的两名作者认识到了加里波利的真正价值所在,并将其传递回了祖国。
澳洲传奇,澳洲丑闻,幸运国度,以及沉默着的伟大澳洲,除此以外还有许许多多。
本书读来定会令你难以忘怀,自称一体,如果你想了解是什么塑造了澳洲今日的语言及文字,那么本书将会是你必不可少的参考资料。(DC)
