Příběh Jaxieho Clacktona, brutálního venkovského mladíka, která prchá z místa násilné smrti svého otce do divočiny západní Austrálie. Má s sebou jen pušku a džbán na vodu. Chce jen mír a svobodu. Život v drsné solné poušti je ale tvrdý. Když zjistí, že tam není sám, všechny jeho plány se zvrhnou. Potkává zničeného kněze Fintana MacGillise, muže, o kterém si nikdy není jistý, zda mu může věřit, přesto ale bude jeho život na něm záviset.

In these extraordinary tales about ordinary people from ordinary places, Tim Winton describes turnings of all kinds: second thoughts, changes of heart, nasty surprises, slow awakenings, abrupt transitions. The seventeen stories overlap to paint a convincing and cohesive picture of a world where people struggle against the terrible weight of their past and challenge the lives they have made for themselves. 'Always a writer of crystalline prose, his lines of sinewy leanness achieve such clarity here that it seems one is reading line after line of perfect music . . . To read Winton is to be reminded not just of the possibilities of fiction but of the human heart' The Times 'The laureate of Western Australia is back . . . this is like Carver, happily with a very large dose of Winton' Time Out 'These stories are threaded through with subtleties and oblique connections; to be fully appreciated, they need to be read more than once. But Winton's writing -vigorous, vivid, precise - is so good that you'd want to do that anyway' Sunday Times

Das australische Outback wird von Bill Bachman und Tim Winton eindrucksvoll gewürdigt, ohne Schönfärberei oder nostalgische Verklärung. Jedes Jahr zieht es immer mehr Touristen in den Busch, um das authentische Australien zu erleben. Der Fotograf und Autor dieses Bildbandes hat es gefunden. Das „andere Australien“ existiert tatsächlich. Die Landschaften und Menschen im Landesinneren, eine einzigartige Mischung aus Naturschauspiel, Wellblecharchitektur, Cowboy-Romantik und skurrilen Charakteren, prägen weiterhin die australische Kultur. Bill Bachman kommentiert diese beeindruckende Bildszenerie mit ungeschönten Reportagen, witzigen Anekdoten und kenntnisreichen Anmerkungen, die das harte Leben im Busch realistisch darstellen. Tim Winton, ein bekannter australischer Romancier, ergänzt die Darstellung des Outbacks mit Texten, die dem Kontinent der Abenteurer und skurrilen Typen eine unsentimentale Poesie verleihen. Bill Bachman, 1952 in den USA geboren, lebt seit 1973 in Australien und hat sich als Fotojournalist einen Namen gemacht. Seine Arbeiten sind in internationalen Zeitschriften und renommierten Kunstsammlungen vertreten. Tim Winton, 1960 in Perth geboren, wurde für seine Romane mit zahlreichen Literaturpreisen ausgezeichnet, darunter der Miles Franklin Award, und vier seiner Werke wurden verfilmt.
