Just before he was to cross-examine Princess Diana, the London Times complained that he was 'anti-establishment, republican and Australian' - in ascending order of horror.Internationally recognised as one of the world's leading human rights lawyers and as an intellectual inspiration for the global justice movement, he regularly boomerangs back from leading Europe's largest civil liberties practice to the land of his birth and his youth. Just as his Hypotheticals dazzled television audiences, so the speeches and essays collected in this book provoke, disturb and entertain.Here you will find new heroes in our history, such as… Read More

Fourth Estate, London, 2010. Softcover. Very Good Condition. Passionate, independent-minded nonfiction from the international bestselling author of 'The Corrections'.Jonathan Franzen's 'Freedom' was the literary sensation of 2010, whilst 'The Corrections' was the best-loved and most written-about novel the previous decade. 'How to be Alone', is a collection of the personal essays and painstaking, often humorous reportage that have earned Franzen a wide and loyal readership, including what has come to be known as 'The Harper's Essay', Franzen's controversial 1996 look at the fate of the novel. From the sex-advice industry to the way a supermax prison works, from his father's struggle with Alzheimer's disease to a rueful account of Franzen's brief tenure as an Oprah Winfrey author, each piece wrestles with Franzen's familiar themes: the erosion of civic life and private dignity, and the hidden persistence of… Read More

Trojan Press, Ivanhoe, VIC, 2004. Softcover. Very Good Condition. Melbourne is a city and Melba was a singer; it could be said that Dame Nellie was the Bradman of Australia’s music until that other dame, Joan Sutherland, came along. Melba will never be forgotten in the city of her origins, nor did she intend it to forget her. When it was made clear that she needed a stage name, she adapted the name of the place where her voice first broke into song. Australians, not noted for being a musical people, followed her fortunes from afar, feeling that she represented them, as she was often quite proud to do. It cannot be forgotten, however, that she could never have reached her heights in the mundane place whose name she borrowed. She had to win her glory elsewhere, and bring a little home. The essays in this volume begin by considering the singer’s career, then assess her city in terms of the rejection that she had to make. How far has it come, how much has it changed, since she left and came… Read More
