Résumé

The saga of the eponymous hero Brendan Kinneen is seen against a background of stirring historical events, peopled by actual historic persons playing their part in those earliest days of european settlement in what is now Australia. Although himself fictional, Kinneen stands as a metaphor for the countless Irish patriots sentenced to penal servitude for their 1798 rising against British domination.  ironically, it was the eventual blending of these two warring peoples which has contributed to the Australian national consciousness and character.

À propos de l'auteur

Biographie de John Worth

John Worth grew up in Western Australia, and spent much of his early life working in the back country of that vast state.  The bush was in his blood, but he nurtured other dreams. Shortly after marrying a young schoolteacher, he and his wife took themselves off to Europe, where he studied sculpture in Munich and London. Returning eventually to Australia, Worth began his career as a sculptor, working and exhibiting, mainly in Perth and later Melbourne.
Later, still working mainly in bronze, Worth moved to Brisbane.  After some years, he also began painting seriously, exhibiting in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.  Beginning around the same time as this gradual shift to painting, he also began to write, continuing to do so for the last twenty years. Now living near Byron Bay.
