| Meer info | (omslag) "There was movement at the station..." Few Australians coud fail to add "...for the word has passed around...", for THE MAN FROM SNOWY RIVER is easily the most popular poem ever written by an Australian. When first published, over 80 years ago, A.B. ("Banjo") Paterson's first book of verse containing the poem sold more copies than that of almost any other poet writing in English. Since then the poem has been included in countless collections of verse, willingly learnt by millions of Austratian school children and become so much a part of national life that people still argue about who the "real" man from Snowy River was. Together with BRUMBY'S RUN and selections from AN OUTBACK MARRIAGE, the poem has now been given a new perspective. Through the magnificent photographs taken while filming THE MAN FROM SNOWY RIVER, the remote high country is revealed in awesome grandeur. Vast, wild, beautiful, treacherous - this is the country against which the "stripling" rider and his "wiry" pony pitted their skill. Legend and landscape here combine to exalt a vision that was and is uniquely Australian. In an appreciative introduction Paterson's biographer Clement Semmler traces particularly those influences and experiences that shaped Paterson's verse and records also the effect it had, and still has, on his countrymen. |
