Oscar, a nervous Anglican minister who gambles on the instructions of the Divine, joins forces with Lucinda, a teenaged heiress who buys a glassworks to help liberate her sex. The resulting narrative tangle of love, commerce, religion, and colonialism culminates in a half-mad expedition to transport a glass church across the Outback. In \u003ci\u003eTrue History of the Kelly Gang\u003c\/i\u003e, the legendary Australian outlaw Ned Kelly speaks for himself, scribbling his narrative in semiliterate but magically descriptive prose as he flees from the police. To his pursuers, Kelly is nothing but a monstrous criminal, but to his own people he is a hero defying the authority of the English. In a dazzling act of ventriloquism, Peter Carey brings the famous bushranger wildly and passionately to life.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53481138848017,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780679777502.jpg?v=1777557042","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/de-de\/products\/books-oscar-and-lucinda-by-peter-carey","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
