«Remembering Babylon» is David Malouf's historical fiction novel, published by Vintage in paperback (192 pages, in English).
In colonial Australia of the 1840s, a ship's boy who has lived sixteen years with an Aboriginal community returns to the world of British settlers. His presence, marked by both cultures, arouses suspicion and reveals the fears of a frontier society. The novel explores identity, belonging and the encounter between two worlds.
Winner of the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award and finalist for the Booker Prize in 1993.
For readers of historical and literary fiction interested in colonial Australia and the clash between cultures.
