From award-winning author Tim Winton comes an epic novel that regularly tops the list of best-loved novels in Australia. After two separate catastrophes, two very different families leave the country for the bright lights of Perth. The Lambs are industrious, united, and--until God seems to turn His back on their boy Fish--religious. The Pickleses are gamblers, boozers, fractious, and unlikely landlords. Change, hardship, and the war force them to swallow their dignity and share a great, breathing, shuddering house called Cloudstreet. Over the next twenty years, they struggle and strive, laugh and curse, come apart and pull together under the same roof, and try as they can to make their lives. Winner of the Miles Franklin Award and recognized as one of the greatest works of Australian literature, "Cloudstreet" is Tim Winton's sprawling, comic epic about luck and love, fortitude and forgiveness, and the magic of the everyday.

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.
