This book was released on 2010-09-16. Sydney available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Renowned and much-loved travel writer Jan Morris turns her eye to Sydney: 'not the best of the cities the British Empire created ... but the most hyperbolic, the youngest at heart, the shiniest.' Sydney takes us on the city's journey from penal colony to world-class metropolis, as lively and charming as the city it describes. With characteristic exuberance and sparkling prose, Jan Morris guides us through the history, people and geography of a fascinating and colourful city. Jan Morris's collection of travel writing and reportage spans over five decades and includes such titles as Venice, Hong Kong, Spain, Manhattan '45, A Writer's World and the Pax Britannica Trilogy. Hav, her novel, was shortlisted for the Booker Prize and the Arthur C. Clarke Award. 'Sydney should be flattered. A great portrait painter has chosen it for her recent subject . . . Few writers - a handful of novelists apart - have got so far under the city's skin as Morris . . . Few Sydneysiders could match her knowledge of their city's history and its anecdotes' The Times 'The writing is, at times, like surfing: sentences rise like vast waves above which she rides, never overbalancing into gush . . . Jan Morris convincingly explains modern Sydney through its history' Observer

Download and read online ebook Historic Sydney write by Susanna De Vries. This book was released on 2014-01-13. Historic Sydney available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This well-researched handsome book has become an Australian classic. Everyone with an interest in Sydney’s history should possess a copy. Painting, drawings and engravings by some of Australia’s finest artists record the establishment of the convict settlement. Through vivid text and colourful paintings we are transported back to the first hundred years of Old Sydney Town and watch it turn into a beautiful harbour city. Unlike the earliest days of London, Paris or New York, Sydney’s founding years were recorded in watercolours and drawings by trained naval and military artists, which makes this book fascinating and unique. Its pages reveal aspects of Sydney’s daily life and development with cricket matches and picnic parties in the Domain, sailing races on the harbour, the paddocks of Paddington Village and the workers’ cottages of Balmain. The book is an important record of Sydney suburbs, colonial mansions, convict cottages and part of the city that have been destroyed as well as areas that have been restored and are part of Australia’s heritage. The 120 paintings and sketches in the book bring to life the unique past of a city that has now evolved into a cosmopolitan capital and Olympic venue.
