Binding remains tight. Clean and bright copy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinner of the Booker Prize, True History of the Kelly Gang is a bold work of historical fiction that chronicles the life of Ned Kelly, Australia's most legendary outlaw, through a series of fictional autobiographical letters written to his daughter. Peter Carey constructs a raw, urgent, and deeply human voice for Kelly — a poor Irish-Australian bushranger who rises against the brutal injustices of colonial Victoria in the late nineteenth century — presenting his story not as myth, but as a desperate act of self-definition. The novel's prose is deliberately unpunctuated and grammatically unruly, mirroring the voice of an uneducated man determined to set the record straight against a corrupt police force and a society rigged against the poor. Carey masterfully blurs the line between history and legend, illustrating how power shapes narrative and how the marginalized must fight — sometimes violently — to reclaim their own truth. Fierce, lyrical, and profoundly moving, it stands as one of the great works of Australian literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48750274937051,"sku":"2026600000517-SECONDHAND","price":300.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/8b6145e4-4f92-465a-a110-20e63d3df7fd.png?v=1778093162","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026600000517-secondhand-true-history-of-the-kelly-gang-signed","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
