Terra Nullius is a journey across Australia's desert and into its shocking past. This lyrical book describes its landscape, flora and fauna and geology, tells the history of the country and reveals the shocking treatment of its Aboriginal peoples.
Sven Lindqvist was born in 1932 in Stockholm, where he still lives. He has travelled extensively through Asia, Africa and Latin America, and is the author of over thirty books, including Exterminate all the Brutes, Desert Divers, and A History of Bombing.
Terra Nullius is the latest instalment in Sven Lindqvist's
confrontation with the genocidal consequences of Western
advancement ... Lindqvist's strength is the sheer heat of his
passions and the boldness with which he attacks complacency ... The
landscape, and his journeying, are brilliantly rendered by a master
of worldly insight and stylistic precision ... a work of urgent
necessity and a heart-warming marvel
*Independent*
A polemical adventure in travel, criticism and autobiography,
Desert Divers opens up a vast, discursive territory. It is gripping
from start to finish.
*Geoff Dyer*
