About This Item
Vintage. Softcover. Very Good. True History of the Kelly Gang" by Peter Carey (ISBN: 9780375724671): "True History of the Kelly Gang" is a novel that reimagines the life of the infamous Australian outlaw Ned Kelly. The story is presented in the form of a journal, purportedly written by Kelly himself, offering a first-person account of his experiences and the events that led him to become a legendary figure. Peter Carey's novel explores themes of injustice, rebellion, and the blurred lines between heroism and criminality. Through Kelly's perspective, readers gain insight into the harsh realities of 19th-century Australia and the challenges faced by those on the fringes of society. Crisp, clean, unread book with some shelfwear/edgewear. May have remainder marks, often with a black dot or similar mark, to the top or bottom edge of the book.
