He fell in love with the black mistress of the warder and discovered too late that to love is not safe; he attempted to keep a record of the strange reality he saw in prison, only to realize that history is not written by those who are ruled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcclaimed as a masterpiece around the world, Gould’s Book of Fish is at once a marvelously imagined epic of nineteenth-century Australia and a contemporary fable, a tale of horror, and a celebration of love, all transformed by a convict painter into pictures of fish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Catnap Books","offers":[{"title":"Used","offer_id":53745826726154,"sku":"9780802139597","price":6.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/4730\/2666\/files\/CB87B48E-AD48-46C6-ABE2-DD3C45D9062B.jpg?v=1789566284","url":"https:\/\/catnapbooks.nl\/products\/goulds-book-of-fish-by-richard-flanagan","provider":"Catnap Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
