Description

Johann Voss's epic journey across the Australian outback is a true 'venture to the interior'. Based on the life of Ludwig Leichhardt, this novel reimagines his story with visionary intensity. Voss's last journey is a testament to the power of human endurance and the unyielding allure of the unknown.

Yet Voss is also a love story, one that explores the inner lives of its characters with poetic passion and social observation. The result is a rich tapestry of people and landscapes, from farmers and convicts to aborigines and colonial middle-class families.

This beautifully written novel offers a nuanced portrayal of life in 19th-century Australia, where the boundaries between nature and human experience are constantly blurred.
