<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Spanning more than a century, <i>Australian Literature</i> crystallizes a spirit, style, and ethos found nowhere else in world literature. These captivating selections in Australian Literature come from major voices, both famous and lesser known, and encompass short stories, memoirs, novels and aboriginal writings.
