À propos de ce contenu audio

Brought to you by Penguin.

Bruce Chatwin provides a fascinating background to indigenous Australian life.

The songlines are the invisible pathways that criss-cross Australia, tracks connecting communities and following ancient boundaries. Along these lines, Aboriginals passed the songs which revealed the creation of the land and the secrets of its past. In this magical account, Chatwin recalls his travels across the length and breadth of Australia seeking to find the truth about the songs and unravel the mysteries of their stories.

    That Chatwin is one of the most distinct and original writers we have is confirmed by the publication of another quite remarkable book (Nicholas Shakespeare)
    The songlines emerge as invisible pathways connecting up all over Australia: ancient tracks made of songs which tell of the creation of the land. The Aboriginals' religious duty is ritually to travel the land, singing the Ancestors' songs: singing the world into being afresh. The Songlines is one man's impassioned song (David Sexton)
    Chatwin is not simply describing another culture; he is also making cautious assertions about human nature. Towards the end of his life Sartre wondered why people still write novels; had he read Chatwin's he might have found new excitement in the genre (Edmund White)
    Le plus pertinent
    Great read. This is a book with a book within a book. One is about the aboriginal Songlines and it's very interesting. The other is about the origins of agression and wars, migrations, instinct and evolution. Both are filled with great anecdotes, very lively, enjoyable and inspiring. I recommend enthusiastically.

    Fascinating
