Soft cover. Condition: Good. Sydney, NSW,WILL COMBINE BOOKS TO SAVE POSTAGE - SOFT COVER -MID SIZE Australia: Fourth Estate, 2004. Used. From one of Australia's most talented writers comes a moving and compelling novel about the loss of innocence and living on the edge. Arriving in the city with little money, no job, an indiffer…ent mother and brother, and nowhere to stay, a shy, awkward 14-year-old boy drifts from the city to the bush and back again, doing what work he can, slowly becoming more alienated and distrustful . With gathering momentum, the narrative takes successively dangerous turns, propelling the reader toward its tragic conclusion. Fresh Fields can be read as the prequel to Peter Kocan's groundbreaking novellas the treatment and the Cure. Its insights into parental neglect, homelessness, mental illness and the trials of adolescence are all too real, but there is also genuine humanity, compassion, sensitivity and humour in the face of adversity, and these qualities leaven the harsh realities and make for an unforgettable literary experience.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Un chico de catorce años, su hermano pequeño y su madre llegan tras un largo viaje en tren a una ciudad desconocida huyendo de un marido y padrastro violento. La madre, acuciada por la carga de sus circunstancias y harta del carácter retraído y temeroso de su hijo adolescente, le obliga…a buscar empleo. El chico emprende así un periplo que en sucesivas etapas lo lleva del campo a la ciudad y de la ciudad al campo y lo relaciona con jóvenes y adultos de variada condición. Sin embargo, en su aventura marcada por la huida y el abandono, el chico recurre con creciente frecuencia a su imaginación en busca de reparo: el soldado ficticio Diestl le infunde coraje ante la adversidad, y sus fantasías con Grace Kelly le entregan una belleza de la que el mundo que tiene ante sí carece por completo. Con la mente a la deriva y la posibilidad de una vida grata cada vez más lejana, el chico comienza un lento descenso por el abismo de la locura y la violencia. Como un Dickens contemporáneo dotado de una peculiar fuerza poética, Peter Kocan se nutre de su adolescencia desamparada para narrar los vagabundeos y fabulaciones de un chico a punto de extraviarse. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Condition: BUONO USATO. Dal mondo ITALIANO IL LIBRO È USATO, PERTANTO POTREBBE PRESENTARE LIEVI DIFETTI/IMPERFEZIONI. LA FOTO CORRISPONDE AL LIBRO IN VENDITA. Pagine ingiallite ai bordi e con sporadica fioritura, tagli ingialliti e con qualche macchia. Quando scende dal treno un giorno all'inizio degli anni Sessanta, un ragazzo…di quattordici anni con gravi problemi psichici scopre che il suo vero viaggio è solo agli inizi. Sorretto unicamente da una potente vita interiore - un mondo popolato da Re Harold, da Grace Kelly e da un fantomatico soldato tedesco di nome Diestl - va alla deriva tra la città e l'aspro bush australiano, sopravvivendo con lavori umili e incontrando una galleria di personaggi. Una grandiosa concezione si forma man mano nella sua mente: Amore e Morte sono profondamente collegati ma al tempo stesso in conflitto tra loro. Il risultato di questa lotta deciderà del destino del ragazzo e di quello degli altri. La storia della sua discesa nella follia e nella violenza forma un quadro della vita ai margini della società moderna. Traduttore: Cenciarelli, G. Numero pagine 303.
