Tourmaline – Randolph Stow – First Edition 1963

Short Description

A first edition of this Australian classic published by Macdonald, London in 1963.

Octavo, 224 pages. A very good copy in a slightly chipped dust jacket. Ownership signature on paste down. A few pages near the beginning exhibit a some show through of text from the other side ... a little irritating ... overcome with a relaxing cup of tea.

A derelict Australian gold rush town is the setting for Randolph Stow’s gripping drama.

The half title informs ... "On the surface Tourmaline is the story of an illusion, of a lost township snatching at the chance of rebirth. At a deeper level it is a fable and man's ever-present temptation to seek refuge from the world of his own reality"

And ...who can go past the haunting Sydney Nolan dust jacket?
