Àííîòàöèÿ: Patrick White wanted a great film industry for Australia and wanted his films to be part of it. From the time Voss made him a big figure in the writing world in the late 1950s, there were always plans in the air to film one or other of the big novels. To his immense chagrin it never happened. Not in his lifetime. His ambition has now been realised in his absence, not with the project always closest to his heart - Voss - but the novel of an old woman's dying, which he conceived round his mother's opulent death in London in the 1960s, attended by a retinue of expensive servants. I can't imagine anything he would have enjoyed more in the last years of his life than watching Judy Davis, Geoffrey Rush and Charlotte Rampling tear their way through The Eye of the Storm. White thought his novels were made to be filmed. ''I have a wild dream,'' he told his cousin as he was writing The Tree of Man, ''in which I see it done as I can see it, without regard for expense or public.'' Those would be the ground rules he set for himself, rules that powered - and complicated - his film ambitions: a big budget to realise a very personal vision and ''the right person'' to pull it off. He has them all at last for The Eye of the Storm.

Àííîòàöèÿ: This book has the imaginative daringof Voss and the deep-flowing sympathy of The Tree of Man. It traces the uncompromisingly independent career of Theodora Goodman from the dusty reality of Australia to the whirling madhouse of Europe before the Second World War, and ends calmly, although across the borders of sanity, in that most practical of countries, the United States of America.

Àííîòàöèÿ: With candour, force and emotion, Patrick White writes of his youth in Australia, his English boarding-school, his life at Cambridge and trips to Germany, London during the Blitz,RAF wartime intelligence in the Middle East and his first meeting with the man who was to become the central focus of his life.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Eddie Twyborn is beautiful and bisexual, the son of a judge and a drunken mother. With this androgynous hero - Eudoxia/Eddie/Eadith Twyborn - and through his search for identity, for self-affirmation and for love in its many forms, Patrick White takes us on a journey into the ambiguous landscapes, sexual, phychological and spiritual, of the human condition.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Hurtle Duffield loves only what he paints. The men and women who court him during his long life are, above all, the materials of his art. He is the Vividector, dissecting their weaknesses, with cruel precision: his sister's deformity, a grocer's moonlight indiscretion, the passionate illusions of such women as the sugar heiress Boo Davenport, and his mistress Hero Pavoussi, wife of a Greek shipping magnate. Only the egocentric adolescent he sees as his spiritual child elicits from him a deeper, more treacherous emotion. In this prodigious novel about the life and death of a great painter, Patrick White illuminates creative experience with unique truthfulness.

Àííîòàöèÿ: The plot of this novel is of epic simplicity: in 1845 Voss sets out with a small band to cross the Australian continent for the first time. The tragic story of their terrible journey and its inevitable end is told with imaginative understanding.The figure of Voss takes on superhuman proportions, until he appears to those around him as both deliverer and destroyer. His relationship with Laura Trevelyan is the central personal theme of the story. The true record of Ludwig Leichardt, who died in the Australian desert in 1848, suggested Voss to the author.

Àííîòàöèÿ: These six short novels and stories achieve the majesty and power of the best of Patrick White's great novels. They probe beneath the confused and meretricious surface, exposing the true nature of things with chiselled, polished images.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Gilbert White's Selborne is the fourth most published book in the English language, the new editions and translations numbering in excess of two hundred. What explains the appeal of this little book, which appears to be no more than a collection of letters by a country clergyman on local natural history? Gilbert White's material contributions to science, though considerable, were minor in comparison with those of giants like Darwin and Mendel. Yet his book, more than any other, has shaped our everyday view of the relations between man and nature, not just because of the accuracy and percipience of his observation, but because of the sense he gives of birds and animals as living things sharing a living situation with each other and with man. Through his writing, Selborne, the little English parish that the reader of his book comes to know so well, becomes, in David Elliston Allen's phrase, 'the secret, private parish inside each one of us'.

Àííîòàöèÿ: On a beautiful April day in 1836 Mrs. Ellen Roxburgh boarded the Bristol Maid, bound for England from Australia. She and her fellow pasengers are embarking on a far more perilous journey, however. The Bristol Maid is shipwrecked, and, taken prisoner by a tribe of aborigines, Mrs. Roxburgh journeys back to man's savage past. In order to survive, she redevelops her most basic strengths; shorn of every vestige of civilization, she rediscovers her native sensuality and passion.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Australia has many faces, many moods, many climates. The Australian scenic pageant contains much that is unique, but in striving to portray this uniqueness, too many artists and writers have represented the continent as a sad, brooding, perserve country.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Functional English is a two-book cpurse which teaches students to communicate effectively by understanding and controlling the relationship between language forms and functions. Book 2 is intended for use by students who have already studied English for two or three years, but have not yet completely mastered the most commonly used language forms and functions. Most of the material used has been specially
