![]() ![]() Dressed simply and in a cart pulled by a mule, an old man sets off for the Greek camp. There must be a way, he thinks, of reclaiming the body - of pitting compromise against heroics, new ways against the old, and of forcing the hand of fate. From the walls of Troy, King Priam watches the body of his son, Hector, being dragged behind Achilles’ chariot. In this exquisite gem of a novel, Achilles is maddened by grief at the death of his friend Patroclus. ‘A work of immediacy, humanity and tenderness.’ Philip Parker, Financial Timesĭavid Malouf shines new light on Homer’s Iliad, adding twists and reflections, as well as flashes of earthy humour, to surprise and enchant. ‘a masterpiece’ Alberto Manguel, Australian Literary Review subtle and extremely moving.’ Daniel Mendelsohn, New Yorker ‘Australia’s finest writer’ Miriam Cosic, The Australian ![]() Malouf's fable engraves the epic themes of the Trojan war onto a perfect miniature. ![]() ![]() ![]() In the vein of Helen Hoang’s The Heart Principle from last year, this novel reminds us that messy grief and complex love can be two sides of the same coin. Emezi takes us on the literal and emotional journey of Feyi Adekola, a woman still reeling from the tragic death of her husband, Jonah. ![]() And yet, You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty transcends the shallow tide pools of a typical entry in the genre and dives into deeper, perhaps more treacherous, waters. Akwaeke Emezi’s latest novel appears to be a natural fit for such a category: a fun, flirty romance set on an unnamed tropical island. “Beach read” as a book descriptor feels ubiquitous these days, especially as warm summer months descend upon us, practically begging for trips to far-flung tropics (though many of us remain glued to our work laptops). ![]() ![]() ![]() Martin keeps on upping the ante of violence and betrayal in this compelling saga of a fantasy middle ages soiled with blood and mud his economic use of magic and his fascination with complex characters make this the sword-and-sorcery series for people with adult taste.Īs the series proceeds, his writing gets ever leaner and sharper, the evocation of the magical ever more sinister.ġ0/10 Sword-and-sorcery for people with adult taste. ![]() And while his youngest sister has escaped the clutches of the depraved Lannisters, Sansa Stark remains their captive.

In the wake of COVID, the perspectives offered are even more interesting to consider in retrospect and while imagining the future. Palaces for the People was enriching and inspiring to read in 2018 – especially as a librarian. Klinenberg shares stories from around the globe – from as far away as Spain to as close to home as the streets of Chicago – where civil and urban engineering have shaped and been shaped by the communities for the betterment of neighborhood and city alike. The reporting shared evidence of how established or developing social infrastructures support or grow populations is truly fascinating and remarkable. ![]() Kranzberg Art & Architecture Library Special CollectionsĮric Klinenberg’s Palaces for the People.Scholarly Publishing & Digital Scholarship.Kenneth and Nancy Kranzberg Art & Architecture Library. ![]() ![]() ![]() You can track your delivery by going to AusPost tracking and entering your tracking number - your Order Shipped email will contain this information for each parcel.
