Description de l’éditeur
An Apple Books Classic edition.
Set in the Australian outback in the 19th century, Such Is Life is the fictional diary of Tom Collins, a bull driver with a penchant for philosophical musings.
Author Joseph Furphy’s classic is known as much for its dry humour as it is for its historic value. The book unfolds as a collection of short vignettes about Tom’s travels and encounters. His descriptions of the outback make you feel like you’ve saddled up and are riding right next to him, and there’s a lot of fun to be had in deciphering entire paragraphs written in bush dialect. Immerse yourself in a long-gone era with this Australian classic.
Avis d’utilisateurs
Like wading through mud.
If you like a whole lot of long winded sentences with big words then this one’s for you. I feel like I would’ve had more pleasure in just reading a dictionary. So happy to finish this book and still have no idea what the hell it was about.
