Book excerpt: The winner of the Man Booker Prize, this "expertly written, perfectly constructed" bestseller (The Guardian) is now a Starz miniseries. It is 1866, and Walter Moody has come to stake his claim in New Zealand's booming gold rush. On the stormy night of his arrival, he stumbles across a tense gathering of 12 local men who have met in secret to discuss a series of unexplained events: a wealthy man has vanished, a prostitute has tried to end her life, and an enormous cache of gold has been discovered in the home of a luckless drunk. Moody is soon drawn into a network of fates and fortunes that is as complex and exquisitely ornate as the night sky. Richly evoking a mid-nineteenth-century world of shipping, banking, and gold rush boom and bust, The Luminaries is at once a fiendishly clever ghost story, a gripping page-turner, and a thrilling novelistic achievement. It richly confirms that Eleanor Catton is one of the brightest stars in the international literary firmament.

Download or read book Rushing for Gold written by Lloyd William Carpenter and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to take a trans-Tasman look at the nineteenth-century phenomenon that was the gold rushes in Australia and New Zealand. It explores links between the rushes, particularly those in Victoria and Otago, to show that they were strongly intertwined affairs. The book brings together contributions from both experienced and newly emergent researchers, who together provide a close examination of miners' migration patterns, ethnicities and merchant networks. The contributors' insightful analyses and narrative accounts of the places, commerce and heritage of the rushes reveal a pantheon of characters, from merchants, hoteliers, financiers and policemen to vagrants, sly-groggers and entertainers, not to mention women, all of whom prompted and populate the mythology of the era, which this book does much to unravel and rewrite.

Download or read book Goldrush to the Thames-Abridged written by Kae Lewis and published by . This book was released on 2018-02-18 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until now, little was known about who the miners were that came to the Thames during the early days of the gold rush in 1867. Still less was known about how they went about finding gold high in the ranges behind the Thames township. They flocked in, firstly from Auckland and then from all parts of New Zealand and the wider world beyond. Before long, there were thousands of hard-working diggers frantically excavating a vast network of underground tunnels, seeking those elusive quartz leaders and reefs that contained the gold. Some struck gold bonanzas and were set for life, others burrowed for months in barren earth and spent all their savings just trying to keep themselves from starvation.This book is an abridged version of the first edition of GOLDRUSH TO THE THAMES, NEW ZEALAND 1867 - 1869 that was published earlier in 2017. It contains essentially the same story of the Thames Goldrush as the original edition but has less detail on individual miners and their claims while many maps, diagrams, photos, appendices, glossaries and indexes have been removed. This edition is intended for the more casual reader while the original is now considered a reference book for the genealogist or serious student of the early Thames Goldrush.Both editions of this book are designed to link with the online database of Miner's Rights and claims in the 'Goldrush Online' website at www.KaeLewis.com. The book goes a long way towards answering the questions: Who were the diggers? Where were their claims? How did they find the gold? Did they find any?It is largely based on contemporary reports and stories from people who were on the goldfields. Some sources are archived letters and diaries while much of it comes from contemporary newspaper articles. The language in newspapers of that era is difficult for modern readers to wade through but skilful editing, interspersed with explanations, makes this book quite readable and fascinating while at the same time it documents the life of the miners at Thames during the goldrush era of 1867-69. Numerous photographs add colour and detail.
