The Fortunes of Richard Mahony

The trilogy explores the life of Richard Mahony, an Australian man navigating the complexities of identity, ambition, and the challenges of colonial life. Spanning from the optimism of Australia Felix to the introspective reflections of Ultima Thule, the narrative delves into Mahony's personal struggles and the broader social landscape of early 20th-century Australia. Through rich character development and evocative prose, Richardson captures the essence of a changing nation and the human experience within it.
