About This Item
Sydney: HarperCollinsPublishers, 1998. Paperback small thick octavo, very good condition, minor edgewear, autograph (author's written dedication). Heavy, and extra postage may be requested to destinations outside Australia. 813 pp. Cover subtitle: 'An autobiographical masterpiece about growing up'. An absorbing story of childhood, adolescence and early adulthood, tracing events and experiences that produced one of Australia's foremost social and cultural critics. Donald Horne converts his three autobiographical volumes ('The Education of Young Donald', 'Confessions of a New Boy', and 'Portrait of an Optimist') into one revised book. He has created a compelling story that is also a social and intellectual history of Australia, as well as a personal tale of action and reflection. With a sharp eye for social milieux, Horne tells of the fortunes and follies of a talented Australian in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. (Author"s written dedication reads: "For John, from Donald".
