Murray Bail

    22. september 1941

    Murray Bail je austrálsky autor známy svojimi románmi, poviedkami a odbornou literatúrou. Jeho diela často skúmajú austrálsku identitu a krajinu s prenikavým postrehom a jedinečným rozprávačským štýlom. Bailov prístup k písaniu sa vyznačuje precíznym jazykom a schopnosťou zachytiť podstatu skúmaných tém. Jeho literárny prínos spočíva v obohacovaní austrálskej fikcie o hlboké reflexie o kultúre a ľudskej skúsenosti.

      Frank Delage, piano manufacturer from Sydney, travels to Vienna, a city immersed in music, to present the Delage concert grand. He hopes to impress with its technical precision, its improvement on the old pianos of Europe. How could he not know his piano is all wrong for Vienna? Perhaps he should have tried Berlin. But a chance meeting with Amalia von Schalla brings new possibilities for Delage - connections, her daughter Elisabeth, and an avant garde composer. Now travelling home, on a container ship, with Elisabeth, the real story is about to begin. The Voyage is a masterly novel by a great writer at the peak of his powers.
