Download or read book Quintus Servinton written by Henry Savery and published by Sydney University Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australia's convict past is never far away in Tasmania, where elegant stone bridges, the Georgian warehouses of Salamanca Place and the eerie ruins of Port Arthur are testimony to the back-breaking work and the hard lives endured by those sentenced to transportation. Quintus Servinton is another reminder of those cruel days. Subtitled "a tale, founded on incidents of real occurrence," the book is a loosely autobiographical story of a wayward fifth son, like Savery. Quintus Servinton (1830) is credited as being the first Australian novel, which, despite its dubious literary merit, gives it unique status. Henry Savery was born in 1791 in Somerset. He arrived in Hobart in 1825, having been sentenced to transportation for forgery. He might be completely unknown today had he not had a penchant for writing. Savery was released from servitude in 1832, having already published his major work. At Port Arthur, guides tell the story that he then sent for his wife, but she had an affair with a magistrate on the boat out, and returned to England, having been rejected by her husband. Savery was entrusted with banking work and tempted to re-offend. He appeared before the magistrate who had seduced his wife and was sent to the notorious penal settlement, Port Arthur, where he died in 1842.

Book excerpt: The Port Arthur convict photographs are a truly remarkable survival from Australias colonial past. Taken shortly before the infamous Tasmanian penal settlement closed for good, these images record the faces of men sent to Australia on convict ships between the 1820s and the 1850s. Now, for the first time, they are the subject of a fascinating new book from the National Library of Australia. Through its pages readers will come face to face with some of Australias reluctant pioneers and explore their often extraordinary lives. Using transportation records, trial documents, offi cial correspondence, prison files, local and overseas newspaper reports and eyewitness accounts, the author has pieced together biographies of some of the men and their female partners who found themselves transported to the colonies.

Download or read book Arts of Living on a Damaged Planet written by Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2017-05-30 with total page 709 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living on a damaged planet challenges who we are and where we live. This timely anthology calls on twenty eminent humanists and scientists to revitalize curiosity, observation, and transdisciplinary conversation about life on earth. As human-induced environmental change threatens multispecies livability, Arts of Living on a Damaged Planet puts forward a bold proposal: entangled histories, situated narratives, and thick descriptions offer urgent “arts of living.” Included are essays by scholars in anthropology, ecology, science studies, art, literature, and bioinformatics who posit critical and creative tools for collaborative survival in a more-than-human Anthropocene. The essays are organized around two key figures that also serve as the publication’s two openings: Ghosts, or landscapes haunted by the violences of modernity; and Monsters, or interspecies and intraspecies sociality. Ghosts and Monsters are tentacular, windy, and arboreal arts that invite readers to encounter ants, lichen, rocks, electrons, flying foxes, salmon, chestnut trees, mud volcanoes, border zones, graves, radioactive waste—in short, the wonders and terrors of an unintended epoch.

Book excerpt: Peter Timms leads us on a journey through his adopted city of Hobart, Australia's smallest, most southerly, least prosperous, but arguably most beautiful state capital. He reveals a city in transition, shaking off its dark and troubled past to claim its special place in the contemporary world; going boutique, nice and slow', as one overseas visitor notes. From Hobart's convict legacy, its spectacular natural setting, heritage architecture and climate, to crime-rates, economic hardship and the recent disfigurements of the developers, Timms brings a wealth of fresh insights, exploring the city with a mixture of affection, admiration, frustration and sadness, interviewing a wide range of residents along the way. Those who have experienced Hobart as tourists will be surprised and intrigued by the lively, complex society this book reveals. Those who live here will surely discover their city anew.
