Fortunes of Richard Mahony
of Henry Handel Richardson
Series: The Fortunes of Richard Mahony #1-3
Description
Set in Australia during the gold-mining boom, this remarkable trilogy is one of the classics of Australian literature.Henry Handel Richardsonâs great literary achievement, comprising the novels Australia Felix, The Way Home and Ultima Thule, weaves together many themes. Richard Mahony, despite finding initial contentment with his wife Mary, becomes increasingly dissatified with his ordered life. His restlessness is not understood by Mary, who has to endure the constant shattering of her security as Richard desperately attempts to free himself; his attempts finally plunge them into poverty. In the figure of Richard Mahony, Richardson captures the soul of the emigrant, ever restless, ever searching for some equilibrium, yet never really able to settle anywhere. Richardâs search, though, is also the more universal one for a meaning that will validate and give purpose to his existence.
