Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Flanagan's fifth novel, and one his most successful, winning several prizes and appearing on "Book of the Year" lists. The novel takes historical facts and real people as its inspiration. Sir John Franklin, the British naval officer and Arctic explorer who was governor of Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania), and who, with his wife, Lady Jane, adopted an Aboriginal girl, is a central character, as is Charles Dickens. Good stuff. This is the true first edition, published by Knopf in Sydney, and as only the most revered authors in Australia seem to get a hardcover rather than a paperback original, it shows just how high is the esteem with which Richard Flanagan is held. Apart from minimal softening of spine ends, a fine copy in a near fine dust jacket with minor edgewear. Seller Inventory # 002134

Book Description Hardback. 1108. It is 1839. A young Aboriginal girl, Mathinna, is running through the long wet grass of an island at the end of the world to get help for her dying father, an Aboriginal chieftain. Twenty years later, on an island at the centre of the world, the most famous novelist of the day, Charles Dickens, realises he is about to abandon his wife, risk his name, and forever after be altered because of his inability any longer to control his intense passion. Connecting the two events are the most celebrated explorer of the age, Sir John Franklin - then governor of Van Diemen's Land - and his wife, Lady Jane, who adopt Mathinna, seen as one of the last of a dying race, as an experiment. Lady Jane believes the distance between savagery and civilisation is the learned capacity to control wanting. The experiment fails, Sir John disappears into the blue ice of the Arctic seeking the North-West Passage, and a decade later Lady Jane enlists Dickens' aid to put an end to the scandalous suggestions that Sir John's expedition ended in cannibalism. Dickens becomes ever more entranced in the story of men entombed in ice, recognising in its terrible image his own frozen inner life. He produces and stars in a play inspired by Franklin's fate to give story to his central belief: that discipline and will can conquer desire. And yet the play will bring him to the point where he is finally no longer able to control his own passion and the consequences it brings. Based on historic events, Wanting is a novel about art, love, and the way in which life is finally determined never by reason, but only ever by wanting. Knopf, 2008. First edition, first printing. A fine copy only marked by a bookseller sticker to the front pastedown. The d/w is also fine. A really lovely copy. Seller Inventory # 4330159
