BEARBRASS: IMAGINING EARLY MELBOURNE
Book ID/图书代码: 01899513B66840
English Summary/英文概要: “Just a little way down Collins Street, beside Henry Buck’s, is a perpetually dark but sheltered laneway called Equitable Place.
Here you’ll find a number of places to eat and drink. Settle yourself in the window of one, shut your eyes, and picture this scene of yore …”
In this much-loved book, Robyn Annear resurrects the village that was early Melbourne – from the arrival of white settlers in 1835 until the first gold rushes shook the town – and brings it to
life in vivid colour.
Bearbrass was one of the local names by which Melbourne was known and Annear provides a fascinating living portrait of the streetlife of this town. In a lively and engaging style, she overlays her reinvention of Bearbrass with her own impressions and experiences of the modern city, enabling Melburnians and visitors to imagine the early township and remind themselves of the rich history that lies beneath today’s modern metropolis.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: “就在距离柯林斯街的不远处,在亨利•巴克斯的一侧,有一条一直很阴暗的隐蔽巷道--公平之地。
在这条小巷子里,你将发现许多吃喝的好地方。找一间店面,临窗而坐,闭上眼睛,脑海中便会自然而然的浮现出往昔种种。。。。。。”
