Ernest Favenc
Voices of the Desert is a novel written by Ernest Favenc, first published in 1905. The book tells the story of an Australian explorer named Richard Whitney, who embarks on a journey to the heart of the Australian outback. Along the way, he encounters a group of Aboriginal people who are struggling to survive in a harsh and unforgiving environment. Whitney becomes fascinated by their culture and begins to learn their language, customs, and beliefs. As he spends more time with the Aboriginal people, he uncovers a shocking secret that threatens to destroy their way of life. The novel explores themes of cultural identity, colonialism, and the clash between modernity and tradition. It is a vivid portrayal of life in the Australian outback and a powerful commentary on the impact of European colonization on indigenous cultures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
