Description

A superb, sprawling trilogy of a family fortune won and lost in gold-rush Australia: an Australian classic.

The Fortunes of Richard Mahony is Australia's most significant nineteenth-century novel. It tells the story of Richard Mahony, loosely based on the author's own father, and his rise and tragic fall in Australia's gold rush.

Despite a happy marriage and children, Irish migrant Richard Mahony struggles to quell his growing restlessness, with tragic consequences. 

All three volumes - Australia Felix, The Way Home and Ultime Thule - are included here. The trilogy stands as one of the great portraits of the Australian canon - and a vivid depiction of the migrant experience.

'The Fortunes of Richard Mahony deserves the accolade of the Great Australian Novel' - Peter Craven 

'A work of huge ambition, power, pity and unflinching honesty' - The Age
