From the author of "Remembering Babylon"--a novel of mysterious power that explores the gulf between fate and justice, duty and compassion. In Australia in 1827, two men--an illiterate Irish convict, sentenced to hang at dawn and the soldier who must supervise the deed--talk through the night. Out of their conversations, Malouf creates what is at once a mystery and a poetic meditation on the themes that occupy the silent center of our lives.

The year is 1827, and in a remote hut on the high plains of New South Wales, two strangers spend the night in talk. One, Carney, an illiterate Irishman, ex-convict and bushranger, is to be hanged at dawn. The other, Adair, also Irish, is the police officer who has been sent to supervise the hanging. As the night wears on, the two discover unexpected connections between their lives, and learn new truths. Outside the hut, Adair's troopers sit uneasily, reflecting on their own pasts and futures, waiting for the morning to come. With ironic humour and in prose of starkly evocative power, the novel moves between Australia and Ireland to explore questions of nature and justice, reason and un-reason, the workings of fate, and the small measure of freedom a man may claim in the face of death. A new novel by Malouf is a major event; The Conversations At Curlow Creek will confirm him as one of the greatest novelists of our time.

In this exquisite gem of a novel, David Malouf shines new light on Homer's Iliad, adding twists and reflections, as well as flashes of earthy humour, to surprise and enchant. Lyrical, immediate and heartbreaking, Malouf's fable engraves the epic themes of the Trojan war onto a perfect miniature - themes of war and heroics, hubris and humanity, chance and fate, the bonds between soldiers, fathers and sons, all brilliantly recast for our times.

Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject English - Literature, Works, grade: 1,0, University of Malta (English Department), course: The Australian Novel (Postcolonial Novel), language: English, abstract: This paper deals with David Malouf's (Australian) novel "The Conversations at Curlow Creek" and particularly with his treatment of spirituality. The term paper begins with an introduction followed by a discussion of the notion 'spirituality', which can be considered in a religious and in a non-religious context. After the definition and discussion of the phenomena 'spirit' and 'spirituality' the paper analyses how David Malouf treats these phenomena, particularly spirituality, in his novel "The Conversations at Curlow Creek" with particular reference to three passages which exemplify his treatment of spirituality. Indeed, spirituality is a recurrent theme in this novel and therefore this paper discusses spirituality in a religious and non-religious sense as well as the spiritual link between the protagonists. Diese Hausarbeit beschäftigt sich mit David Maloufs australischem Roman "The Conversations at Curlow Creek" und besonders mit seiner Behandlung des Phänomens Spiritualität. Die Hausarbeit beginnt mit einer Einleitung und diskutiert anschließend den Begriff 'Geist' und 'Spiritualität', wobei letzterer sowohl in einem religiösen als auch in einem nicht-religiösen Kontext betrachtet werden kann. Danach wird analysiert, wie David Malouf die Phänomene 'Geist' und 'Spiritualität' in seinem Roman "The Conversations at Curlow Creek" behandelt. Dabei wird besonders auf drei Passagen Bezug genommen, die seine differenzierte Behandlung des Phänomens 'Spiritualität' verdeutlichen und veranschaulichen. Tatsächlich ist Spiritualität in Maloufs Roman durchgängig ein Thema, worauf immer wieder Bezug genommen oder angespielt wird, da es eng mit der Thematik - dem Kampf zwischen Leben, Mord und Tod - verbunden ist. Deshalb diskutiert und analysiert diese Arbeit Spiritualität in einem religiösen sowie einem nicht-religiösen Kontext und analysiert auch die spitituelle Verbindung zwischen den beiden Protagonisten.

Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, grade: 2,0, University of Wuppertal, language: English, abstract: Scholars of Antipodean culture emphasise the power of nature on both personal and national matters. With respect to Australia, Krahn (2000) points to the impact that space has on self-conception, arguing that notions of space/ place have been central in the cultural self-definition of settler colonies like Australia, since difference in place is the most visible marker distinguishing the colony from the imperial motherland. In Australian literary discourses, place is very much tied up with landscape, presumably as difference in landscape foregrounds the distinguishing difference of place. Landscape is thus used to emphasise the distinctiveness of Australia, from earliest colonial writings to the present day discourses of nationalism, literature and tourism. Against these backgrounds and with the objective to corroborate theoretical foundations on the representation of Australia in (pre-)colonial (literary) discourse, The Conversations at Curlow Creek by David Malouf will be analysed and examined with regard to the spatial representation of Australia as contrasted with Ireland, juxtaposing the portrayals of both countries by highlighting their major disparities adverted to in the novel. In the course of this, dichotomies as one identifiable literary device, which serves as an amplification of the images the author aims at getting across, will be pointed to. Prior to that, the concept of space will be elaborated on, providing a definition and conceptual differentiation within the scope of narratology. Furthermore, the characteristic representation of Australia in colonial discourse will be expounded, particularly relating to the aspect of landscape. Finally, a conclusion based on the results of the text analysis will be provided, substantiating the underlying theoretical foundations.

In the first century AD, Publius Ovidius Naso, the most urbane and irreverant poet of imperial Rome, was banished to a remote village on the edge of the Black Sea. From these sparse facts, one of our most distinguished novelists has fashioned an audacious and supremely moving work of fiction. Marooned on the edge of the known world, exiled from his native tongue, Ovid depends on the kindness of barbarians who impate their dead and converse with the spirit world. But then he becomes the guardian of a still more savage creature, a feral child who has grown up among deer. What ensues is a luminous encounter between civilization and nature, as enacted by a poet who once catalogued the treacheries of love and a boy who slowly learns how to give it.

Every city, town and village has its memorial to war. Nowhere are these more eloquent than in Australia, generations of whose young men have enlisted to fight other people's battles - from Gallipoli and the Somme to Malaya and Vietnam. In The Great World, his finest novel yet, David Malouf gives a voice to that experience. But The Great World is more than a novel of war. Ranging over seventy years of Australian life, from Sydney's teeming King's Cross to the tranquil backwaters of the Hawkesbury River, it is a remarkable novel of self-knowledge and lost innocence, of survival and witness.
