拍品描述 翻译
The earliest known surviving manuscript for The Thorn Birds , (published 1977) and associated material comprising two maroon document boxes inscribed 'Colleen McCullough' in gold embossed lettering and a plain white document box, the first containing an incomplete manuscript including Chapters One to Four - pages 1-155, (Chapter 5 missing) - and Chapters Six to Nineteen - pages 175-659, (page 479 missing) - with annotations throughout, in pencil, together with a typed note from Colleen McCullough's literary agent at the time, Frieda Fishbein, dated August 27, 1975, stating: 'Colleen appears to have made an error in numbering here. The manuscript moves from 659 to 661, with no page 660. The transition is right. There is no break in the narrative.'; the second document box containing Chapters Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven/Eight, Eight, Nine, Ten, Eleven and Twelve - pages 80-435), with various notations in pencil and pen, together with a letter from Robert D. Hale, at that time the president of the American Booksellers Association, to Mr Roger W. Straus III, of the publisher, Harper & Row, New York City; and the third document box containing number and unnumbered pages, variously annotated in pencil and ink, including headings and pages from Chapters Twenty, Twenty-three and Twenty-five, together with various numbered and unnumbered photocopied pages ? All works copyright Estate of Colleen McCullough OTHER NOTES It is difficult to underestimate the importance of Colleen McCullough's 1977 novel, The Thorn Birds, in the Australian literary canon. Her second only published novel, the book was immediately successful and has become not only the biggest-ever selling novel by an Australian author, but also internationally one of the biggest selling novels of all time, with sales of over 30 million copies world-wide. The epic narrative documents early Australian pioneer life as seen through the eyes of McCullough's protagonist, Meghan Cleary. Spanning Meghan's life from her early life in New Zeeland, to later growing up on a sheep station in the harsh Australian outback, the book deals themes such as how religion, particularly Catholicism, informed the lives of those living in rural Australia with Catholicism in early rural Australia; the love of an unattainable man and the privations of life in the land; all set against the background of the simultaneously harsh and enchanting Australian landscape, described in the rich detail which was to become one of the hallmarks of her writing. To quote McCullough: "…[I was] trying to make people who didn't know much about Australia see that country's magic, its customs and traditions, its people in their homeland". The novel was adapted into a television series in 1983, sharing the same tile as the book, which went on to break set ratings records for American television at the time.
