Patrick White presents an epic, multigenerational portrait of ordinary existence, tracing the passage of decades through drought, flood, war, and the encroachment of suburban sprawl on the once-wild landscape. Written with dense, lyrical prose, the novel argues that profound meaning and spiritual truth are embedded within the most unremarkable lives, elevating the mundane to the mythic. It stands as one of the great achievements of twentieth-century fiction, cementing White's reputation as the first Australian to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956204220635,"sku":"2026200011182-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/1e7fb7cf-6a0c-4f61-9bfb-9df4d2dab3ee.png?v=1783499049","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200011182-secondhand-the-tree-of-man","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
