TO THE ISLANDS

An Australian Penguin book

by Randolph Stow

1962

One of the rare novels that immediately establishes itself as having an original life of its own...

Set in the far north west of western australia, is no simple clash between the old and the new. Instead Stow has chosen for his hero to be an old white man, Stephen Heriot, who for many years has run a mission station for the aboriginals. He has rached a crisis in his life where the simplicity of his ideals has exploded into chaos and love has been twisted into hate.

THE HORSE`S MOUTH

A Penguin Modern classic

by Joyce Cary

1968

The horses mouth is a portrait of an artistic temperament. Its principal character, Gulley Jimson is an impoverished painter who bothers little about the customary obligations and decencies. But although he is a bad citizen he is a good artist, so wholly preoccupied with his art that he is willing to endure any privation for its sake. Gulley Jimson, however is no self conscious martyr. He is so wholly allergic to conventional values as to find a sardonic delight in flouting them, and the only morality he practises is the devotion he gives to painting.

They are all in good condition they have slighty discoloured pages due to age of books.One is from old school library and has library stamp inside.
