In the 18th century, as European colonization proceeded apace, one continent remained to be discovered, the mythical Terra Australis incognita. This, the largest isl&-continent, had been inhabited for over 60, 000 years by the Aborigines, who were described by the first explorers as the `miserablest people in the world`. This perception was the beginning of a deep & long-lasting misapprehension, which the authors resoundingly dispel in this lively social & cultural history. They explore how the aborigines actually came to be in Australia, their extraordinary rituals & ` Dreamings`, & the importance of `kin` to their social structures. A chapter is devoted to the aborigines` often atrocious treatment at the hands of white settlers, & the pervasive racial prejudice that remained enshrined in the Australian constitution until 1967. The final section deals with the massive indigenous cultural renaissance over the past four decades, & discusses how Aboriginal art
- be it Central Desert acrylic art, batik, contemporary urban painting, sculpture or traditional bark painting
- has become a flagship for Australian culture.

`the greatest short story writer who has ever lived` Raymond Carver`s unequivocal verdict on Chekhov`s genius has been echoed many times by writers as diverse as Katherine Mansfield, Somerset Maugham, John Cheever & Tobias Wolf. While his popularity as a playwright has sometimes overshadowed his achievements in prose, the importance of Chekhov`s stories is now recognized by readers as well as by fellow authors. Their themes
- alienation, the absurdity & tragedy of human existence
- have as much relevance today as when they were written, & these superb new translations capture their modernist spirit. Elusive & subtle, spare & unadorned, the stories in this selection are among Chekhov`s most poignant & lyrical. They include well-known pieces such as ` The Lady with the Little Dog`, as well as less familiar work like ` Gusev`, inspired by Chekhov`s travels in the Far East, & ` Rothschild`s Violin`, a haunting & darkly humorous tale about death & loss. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World`s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford`s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, & much more.

Aboriginal Art

Aboriginal artists today practise in one of the world's longest continuous tradition of art - and perhaps the last to be generally recognised. Widely sought after, aboriginal art has now taken its place in the collections of leading museums and galleries. This concise survey looks at the work of Australia's indigenous visual artists from all parts of the continent: from Arhem Land and the desert, the Kimberley and northern Queensland, to modern towns and cities. Building on traditions that stretch back at least 50, 000 years, many of the artists have worked in a variety of contexts, from the sacred and secret realm of ceremony to more public spheres, and in media including painting, sculpture, engraving, constructions, weaving and - most recently - photography, printmaking and
textile design. Beliefs embodied in the Dreaming are expressed with many layers of meaning which reflect a unique world-view.
