Sand in Our Souls
Author: Leone Huntsman
Publisher: Melbourne University Publish
ISBN: 9780522849455
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
Images of 'the beach' pervade Australian popular culture. However the deeper significance of the experience of 'the beach', and its influence on Australian culture generally, have not yet been seriously explored. How, why and when did the beach become part of the Australian way of life? In Sand in our Souls Leone Huntsman describes the forces and pressures that encouraged or impeded Australians' enjoyment of sand and surf, from early enjoyment of bathing, through nearly a century of repressive restrictions, to freedom won in the face of drawn-out opposition. The ways in which artists, writers, film-makers and the advertising industry have depicted the beach are examined for the light they throw on the beach's significance. She traces the development of a distinctively Australian way-of-being-at-the-beach, suggesting that the beach experience has been absorbed into our emerging culture and continues to shape it in subtle ways. Huntsman's provocative arguments will stimulate debate on the concept of 'national identity' appropriate for a new Australian century, and promote a deeper understanding of an aspect of life in Australia that is cherished by many of those who live here.

Book Description
In the golden expanse of Arazia's enchanting desert kingdom, a tale as vast and timeless as the dunes themselves unfurls. 'Sands of Time' weaves a spellbinding narrative of destiny, adventure, and an extraordinary love that defies the bounds of both time and tradition. Amidst these endless sands resides Prince Amir, a figure burdened by an ageless curse that grants him immortality, yet shackles him to an existence he never chose. In the heart of this realm, where secrets are whispered by the shifting winds, Amir yearns for the fleeting experiences of life and the taste of true freedom. But destiny's design stretches far beyond his imaginings when his path converges with that of Aya, a spirited nomad from a neighboring tribe. Aya's wild heart and untamed spirit find solace in the desert's expanses. Her soul craves adventure, and her dreams soar beyond the confines of her tribe's traditions. Unbeknownst to her, Amir's curse looms like a shadow, yet her spirit remains unbridled, seeking purpose beyond the horizon. When their fates collide amidst the shimmering sands, an instant connection kindles between Amir and Aya. It's a recognition that traverses lifetimes, defying the deep-seated enmity between their tribes. Love unfurls its wings, defying the very laws that deem it forbidden. Together, Prince Amir and the nomad Aya embark on a daring quest, a journey that leads them through the treacherous desert. Their path unearths ancient secrets guarded by mythical beings, and they confront trials that test their love's endurance. Guided by an enigmatic oracle's prophecies, they must brave destructive sandstorms and prove themselves at mystical oases watched over by timeless spirits. Deep within the heart of the desert, the duo unravels the enigma behind Amir's curse. They unearth a truth that links his salvation to an ancient artifact concealed by beings of immense power. Yet, their odyssey demands great sacrifices and challenges. Amir grapples with the implications of breaking free from immortality, while Aya stands resolute, ready to defy all odds for the man she loves. As their love shines unwaveringly, it becomes a beacon of hope in an uncertain world. As their journey reaches its zenith, they must confront a final trial, convincing the very guardians of eternity that their love is unbreakable and true.
