True History Of The Kelly Gang
(Peter Carey)

Publicidade
Ned Kelly is the Australian Robin Hood - an underprivileged and unjustly persecuted man forced against the arm of the law due to injustice. Carey?s story is set against the backdrop of the rural outback, and is written as the undiscovered memoirs of the great criminal, left for his daughter to hear his testimony. The memoirs tell how his family were harassed by the racist police, and how they attempted to deal with their problems. Tales of his childhood show how he developed as a young man and shaped him into the most wanted and hunted outlaw in the land.
The book is written as one continuous monologue, and incorporates the regional, rough accent that Carey supposes Kelly would have had. The voice of Ned Kelly echoes through the pages, and after reading several chapters, you will have him in your head. The language used brings the ?hero? of the tale to life, and quickly swings you round to his way of thinking, and before you know it you find yourself cheerig the lovable rogue on.
The plot provides some intrigue as Kelly?s life unfolds, detailing his various encounters with the strong arm of the law and other discrepancies of his that lead to trouble. More interesting still is the character that Carey portrays Kelly to be. Described more as a victim of circumstance, he is revered in this offering as a great man. Its no wonder that this gave him his second Booker Prize, because this book does real justice to the greatest of Australia?s outlaws.
