This volume collects the complete trilogy: Australia Felix: Set during the mid-19th century gold rush, tracing Richard Mahony's arrival in Ballarat and his early successes as a doctor and a gentleman. The Way Home: Following Mahony's return to England and his eventual journey back to Australia as he struggles to find a sense of belonging in either world. Ultima Thule: A harrowing and powerful conclusion that explores Mahony's mental and physical decline, and the enduring strength of his wife, Mary. A profound exploration of exile, ambition, and the fragility of the human mind, this "Australian Classics" edition brings one of the most significant works of Southern Hemisphere literature to a new generation of readers.
