From the author of the bestselling Gould’s Book of Fish, The Sound of One Hand Clapping and The Unknown Terrorist comes a haunting meditation on love, loss and the way life is finally determined never by reason, but only ever by wanting.
In 19th-century Van Diemen’s Land, a young Aboriginal girl, Mathinna, is adopted by the celebrated explorer Sir John Franklin and his wife, Lady Jane, to show that the savage can be civilized. Lady Jane believes the distance between savagery and civilization is the learned capacity to control wanting. The experiment fails, and Sir John disappears into the blue ice of the Arctic, seeking the Northwest Passage. A decade later, Lady Jane enlists Charles Dickens’ aid to put an end to the scandalous suggestions that Sir John’s expedition ended in cannibalism.
Wanting confirms Richard Flanagan’s growing reputation as one of our most original and powerful novelists.

Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. 1st Edition. Flanagan's fifth novel, and one his most successful, winning several prizes and appearing on "Book of the Year" lists. The novel takes historical facts and real people as its inspiration. Sir John Franklin, the British naval officer and Arctic explorer who was governor of Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania), and who, with his wife, Lady Jane, adopted an Aboriginal girl, is a central character, as is Charles Dickens. Good stuff. This is the true first edition, published by Knopf in Sydney, and as only the most revered authors in Australia seem to get a hardcover rather than a paperback original, it shows just how high is the esteem with which Richard Flanagan is held. Apart from minimal softening of spine ends, a fine copy in a near fine dust jacket with minor edgewear. N° de réf. du vendeur 002134
