A searing and magnificent picture of Australia at the moment of its foundation, with early settlers staking out their small patch of land and terrified by the harsh and alien continent. Focussing on the hostility between the early British inhabitants and the native Aborigines. Remembering Bablyon tells the tragic and compelling story of a boy who finds himself caught between the two worlds. Shot through with humour, and written with the poetic intensity that characterised Malouf's An Imaginary Life, this is a novel of epic scope yet it is simple, compassionate and universal: a classic.

Essay from the year 2011 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 3,0, University of Stuttgart, language: English, abstract: The process of natural selection is very common to us today. However in the time David Malouf's Remembering Babylon takes place, Darwin's Origin of Species is not very widespread yet and the naturalist movement in general is only at its beginning. According to the theory of natural selection people have to “adapt to their environments“, which of course sounds very reasonable. If we look back at the 1840's in Australia when Gemmy Fairley is cast ashore, convicts and other people from Britain inhabited the new continent for a short period of time. White settlers lived isolated in settlements and tried to make this tiny space they discovered on this gigantic island their home. Most settlers did not want to have any contact to the indigenous people living there, because they were either ignorant or afraid of them. Their way of thinking was that they just needed to inhabit a piece of land long enough to call it their own. Obviously this way of thinking lead to conflicts with the aboriginal people on one hand, but also to conflicts with their environment on the other hand. The conflicts with the environment existed because they did not accept the country as their new home country and paid very little attention to their surrounding. Perhaps this syndrome is also caused by the fact that the settlers never had a real connection to the land, while the indigenous people had a very deep bound to the earth they lived on. The boundary fence, boundaries of the mind and real as well as imagined cultural boundaries are reasons for the conflicts between aboriginal people and white settlers and the lacking connection to the land in Remembering Babylon. Eventually it is a matter of closed- or open-mindedness that decides between war and peace or misfortune and fortune.

Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, grade: 1,7, Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg, course: David Malouf's Remembering Babylon, language: English, abstract: David Malouf's Remembering Babylon takes place in the 19th century in the outback of Queensland, Australia. The main character, Gemmy, a dark and uncivilised creature, appears out of nowhere one day and brings a lot of tension into the white settlers' village. He moves in with the Mc Ivor family, whose daughter Janet and adopted nephew Lachlan were amongst those who found Gemmy. Both children form a strong bond with Gemmy (though in very different ways), as does Mrs Ivor, who accepts him with much love from day one. Only Mr Ivor is sceptical at the beginning, but also grows to like the new family-member eventually. According to Doty and Risto (1996; p. 102), the main subject Malouf portrays in this novel is what they call "the characters‟ struggling to achieve wholeness". Furthermore, Gemmy accordingly acts as a “catalyst for the other characters' growth and transformative experience”. This essay explores some of the main characters' transformation throughout the novel, as well as how their relationship to each other changes. This transformation is found to take place partly through Gemmy coming into their lives, as well as due to the originally Scottish family having immigrated to Australia.
