PAPERBACK BOOK
Throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, many distinguished writers made the long and arduous voyage across the seas to Australia. Brief Encounters tells some of their tales. Stories full of irony, idiosyncrasies, and occasional insights—from Charles Darwin’s fascination with the misnamed "lion-ant" to Arthur Conan Doyle’s missionary of spiritualism—all in a beautifully turned narrative that sheds an amusing light on how Australians related to an uncomprehending rest of the world.
