Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. Travels: A Family Story is a captivating memoir by Maria Hackett, painted against the backdrop of a time when travel was an arduous undertaking reserved for a select few. Maria embarks on a journey to the Australian penal colony of Van Diemen's Land (now Tasmania) in 1828 with her husband on a thrilling adventure that will span over a decade. The chaotic sea voyage, her encounters with convicts and pirates, and the wonders of a foreign land are vividly recounted. She weaves personal anecdotes with keen observations on the culture, history, and living conditions in Van Diemen's Land, capturing the nuances of a bygone era. Along with detailed descriptions of the exotic flora and fauna and the interactions with the native Aboriginal population, the book provides insights into the penal system of the region. Hackett's lively narrative transports readers to the heart of an unexplored land, offering a glimpse into the lives of those who dared to journey beyond the familiar.
