A searing and magnificent picture of Australia at the moment of its foundation with early
settlers staking out their small patch of land and terrified by the harsh and alien continent.
Focussing on the hostility between the early British inhabitants and the native Aborigines.
Remembering Bablyon tells the tragic and compelling story of a boy who finds himself caught
between the two worlds. Shot through with humour and written with the poetic intensity that
characterised Malouf's An Imaginary Life this is a novel of epic scope yet it is simple
compassionate and universal: a classic.
