O ovoj e-knjizi
Excerpt: "Where the equator girdles the earth, the Indian Ocean and the amorous waters of the Pacific have their marriage bed. Afire with the passions of the tropics, excited by breezes from a thousand islands of palm, of spice, of coral, of pearl, jewelled for the ceremony with quick-lived phosphorous lights, the oceans move to each other, and mingle hot kisses under high red suns and fierce white moons. They have begotten many children; and one of these—the Sea of Carpentaria—leans deep into the northern coast of Australia, and wears itself against a thousand miles of barren shore."
O autoru
Sydney Loch, an enigmatic figure in early 20th-century literature, led a life that was as adventurous as it was impactful. Born in 1888 in Melbourne, Australia, Loch's early years were marked by a voracious appetite for travel and storytelling. His experiences during World War I, where he served as a soldier, profoundly influenced his literary voice, imbuing his works with a raw, unfiltered realism that was both groundbreaking and controversial for his time.Loch's post-war years saw him and his wife, Joice NanKivell Loch, embark on humanitarian missions across war-torn Europe, particularly in Greece and Poland. These experiences not only enriched his narrative depth but also positioned him as a writer deeply committed to social justice and human rights. His vivid portrayals of war and its aftermath challenged the romanticized notions of heroism and patriotism prevalent in contemporary literature, earning him both acclaim and censure.A pioneer in blending fiction with journalistic integrity, Loch's works influenced a generation of writers who sought to depict the stark realities of human conflict. His unflinching honesty and dedication to truth-telling resonated with contemporaries and successors alike, carving a niche for him as a forerunner of modern war literature.Sydney Loch's legacy extends beyond his literary contributions; his life story is a testament to the power of empathy and the written word in effecting change. His revolutionary ideas on the futility of war and the importance of humanitarian efforts continue to inspire and provoke thought, making him a timeless figure in literary history.
