On the Track - Henry Lawson - Bog

On The Track is a novel written by Henry Lawson, an Australian writer and poet. Originally published in 1900, the book is a collection of short stories that explore the lives of people living in the Australian outback during the late 19th century. The stories are set against the backdrop of the Australian bush and follow the struggles of the working-class people who inhabit the region.The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on stories about the bush and the second part focusing on stories about the city. The stories in the first part explore the harsh realities of life in the outback, including the challenges of surviving in a harsh and unforgiving environment, the struggles of rural poverty, and the isolation that comes with living in a remote area. The second part of the book explores the lives of those who have left the bush behind and moved to the city, where they encounter new challenges and opportunities.Throughout the book, Lawson's writing is marked by his vivid descriptions of the Australian landscape and his ability to capture the unique character of the people who inhabit it. His stories are often poignant and touching, exploring themes of love, loss, and human resilience in the face of adversity.On The Track is considered a classic of Australian literature and is widely regarded as one of Lawson's most important works. It is a powerful and moving portrayal of life in the Australian outback during a time of great social and economic change, and continues to be read and admired by readers around the world.. Besides, extended time was expiring, and the contractors were in a hurry to complete the line. But the Government inspector was a reserved man who poked round on his independent own and appeared in lonely spots at unexpected times -- with apparently no definite object in life -- like a grey kangaroo bothered by a new wire fence, but unsuspicious of the presence of humans. He wore a grey suit, rode, or mostly led, an ashen-grey horse; the grass was long and grey, so he was seldom spotted until he was well within the horizon and bearing leisurely down on a party of sub-contractors, leading his horse.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
