Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

With his classic Immigrant Chronicle, Peter Skrzynecki harnessed the universal language of poetry. Now, in his powerful memoir The Sparrow Garden, he travels from the Displaced Persons camps of Germany to the suburban battlegrounds of outer Sydney and taunts of “reffo” and “dago”. In unforgettable style, he leads us on a bracing rollercoaster of emotions and boyhood adventures. The Sparrow Garden is also the deeply personal story of one man’s complex, loving relationship with his parents.

Immigrant Chronicle

Clausewitz and the State

The Man, His Theories, and His Times

By: Peter Paret

Originally published in 1976, Clausewitz and the State presents a comprehensive analysis of one of the significant thinkers of modern Europe. Peter Paret combines social and military history and psychological interpretation with a study of Clausewitz's military theories and of his unduly neglected historical and political writing. This timely new edition includes a preface which allows Paret to recount the past thirty years of discussion on Clausewitz and respond to critics. A companion volume to Clausewitz's On War, this book is indispensable to anyone interested in Clausewitz and his theories, and their proper historical context.

Boys of Summer

Boys of Summer

By: Peter Skrzynecki

Set in Sydney in the 1950s when American film stars and teenage rock n roll idols were beginning to influence Australian culture, Boys of Summer is the coming-of-age account of Tom Krupa's childhood. His is the world of backyard adventures, radio serials, comic-book heroes and the passion he develops for reading; it is also the story of a sensitive, innocent child awakening to the cruel realities of the world. Tom is the eye-witness to two seminal incidents: a girl killed by a car and a boy lost in the sea at a beach. The girl was his first, distant love and the boy his best friend. These events have been carefully prefigured in the depiction of Tom's day-to-day life with his Polish migrant parents in an outer western suburb. Neither is quite as it appears, and the implications of each reverberate through the novel.
