True History of the Kelly Gang


Book Description

SOONTO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE The international bestseller, Booker Prize winner, and winner of the 2001 Commonwealth Writers’ Prize for Best Book. Out of 19th century Australia rides a hero of his people and a man for all nations: Ned Kelly, the son of poor Irish immigrants, viewed by the authorities as a thief (especially of horses) and, as a cold-blooded killer. To the people, though, he was a patriot hounded unfairly by rich English landlords and their stooges. In the end, Kelly and his so-called gang (his younger brother and two friends) led a massive police manhunt on a wild goose chase that lasted twenty months, in which Ned’s talents as a bushman were augmented by bank robberies and the support of nearly everyone not in a uniform. His one demand – for which he would have surrendered himself was his jailed mother’s freedom. Executed by hanging more than a century ago, speaking as if from the grave, Kelly still resonates as the most potent legend in the land down under.

The Kellys and the O'Kellys


Book Description

This work set in Ireland, provides a much local touch as it tells the story of Martin Kelly and the woman he wants to marry. One of the favorite themes of English novelists of the Victorian era, Anthony Trollope runs all through the novel, that is, the pursuit of money for its own sake and the victory of pure sentiments over such greed. The Kellys and the O'Kellys also presents to us many of Trollope's fixations, such as hunting, racing, and gambling. Here we have Trollope's initial attempt at portraying a great country house. From creating some unforgettable characters to sketching the scenes perfectly, Trollope has done it all in this work. The author has also included the political events of the time, the Repeal movement in Ireland and the trial of Daniel O'Connor, as a backdrop to the central plot. This is the first time in his career that he experimented with a double-plot, a device which he later learned to use with expertise.
