Paperback. Wry and knowing, Wings of the Kite-Hawk is a set of linked journeys into the Australian landscape: its past and present, its people and its half-remembered secrets. In each chapter, Nicolas Rothwell takes a precursor and follows him. His guides are not only the famous explorers from the past, Leichhardt, Sturt, Strehlow and Giles, but also anthropologists and Hell's Angels: rodeo riders and artists. Vivid characters weave in and out of the story, intersecting, leading him on. Conversations move through light, laughter and sadness, while the overlapping explorations examine the different states of mind and heart. This is a book unlike any other written about inland Australia. As much fable as memoir, as much poem as momentary record., it resonates with strangeness and bitter-sweetness, with all the hidden patterns and suddenly revealed depths of life.

Softcover. Condición: Very Good (Used copy). AUSTRALIANA Travel & Exploration Aboriginal -Wry and knowing, Wings of the Kite-Hawk is a set of linked journeys into the Australian landscape: its past and present, its people and its half-remembered secrets. In each chapter, Nicolas Rothwell takes a precursor and follows him. His guides are not only the famous explorers from the past, Leichhardt, Sturt, Strehlow and Giles, but also anthropologists and Hell's Angels: rodeo riders and artists. Vivid characters weave in and out of the story, intersecting, leading him on. Conversations move through light, laughter and sadness, while the overlapping explorations examine the different states of mind and heart. This is a book unlike any other written about inland Australia. As much fable as memoir, as much poem as momentary record., it resonates with strangeness and bitter-sweetness, with all the hidden patterns and suddenly revealed depths of life."If you're going into the bush, I mean really going, then you need a good hat - wide-brimmed, well-balanced."He picked one up from the pile inside the truck, and waved it with a sinuous motion before my eyes: "A hat like this one. Now this is my own design - the "Honest John" - the swagman's friend. Best hat there is in the world."I inspected it as he held it out, and a ghost of suspicion was born inside me."Your design?"You may not know it," he went on, "but bushmen are very particular about their hats. That colour - that brown - is what we call tan-bark. It's very popular with head stockmen on the big stations. The man at Wave Hill buys them from me. I have them specially made up, by Akubra. You'll see them everywhere. You can tell them by the bright feather in the hat-band. And they've got my name inside them too in gold letters."I knew, at that moment, knew for certain he was having me on. I laughed, put on a knowing expression, and flipped the hat over as he held it. And there it was - "Akubra - Honest John" - in stamped gold capitals inside the crown.Funny and knowing, and terrifically well-written, 'Wings Of The Kite-Hawk' is a set of linked journeys into the Australian landscape: its past and present, its people and its half-remembered secrets.
