It is an honest account of a man of remarkable feats and striking flaws. Ward McNally introduces Ted Strehlow the boy, growing up in Central Australia with Aboriginal children, making their language and ways his own. Then follows Strehlow the man - the patrol officer, the academic, the anthropologist, the linguist - as he wrestles with his destiny, and fights for the recognition of Aboriginal culture and for a better understanding of the people of his childhood. In compassionate, compelling style, Ward McNally unfolds the paradox of this historic professor's life - a life of which all Australians should be aware." Weight: 445g. Seller Inventory # 1505

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. "Here is a captivating account of a life, the like of which Australia will never see again. It is an honest account of a man of remarkable feats and striking flaws. Ward McNally introduces Ted Strehlow the boy, growing up in Central Australia with Aboriginal children, making their language and ways his own. The follows Strehlow the man - the patrol officer, the academic, the anthropologist, the linguist - as he wrestles with his destiny, and fights for the recognition of Aboriginal culture and for a better understanding of the people of his childhood. We come to feel for Strehlow, the confidant of Aboriginal tribal elders, and the chosen custodian of their ancient ceremonial secrets and artefacts. We admire Strehlow, the sensitive and meticulous recorder of the vast treasure of intricate Aboriginal songs and legends. But we also see the anguish of the ageing Strehlow, passionate and perplexed as he fights real (and sometimes imaginary) opposition and persecution, as he pursues the personal goals that seem so near yet so elusive. In compassionate, compelling style, Ward McNally unfolds the paradox of this historic professor's life - a life of which all Australians should be aware." --- Original tan papered boards, lettered gilt on spine (22 cm height).
