スノーウィー川の男 in short
The Man from Snowy River and Other Verses is a gathering of bush ballads made by a working storyteller for the people who lived the life he describes. It opens with a boy on a small pony who rides down a slope no one else dares, and closes with gold discovered beneath a swagman's grave. Between them lie horse races, outlaw chases, comic quarrels and sorrowful scenes.
What スノーウィー川の男 is about
What does it take to chase wild mountain horses down a slope where one slip means death? News of an escaped colt opens the title poem in The Man from Snowy River, a collection of ballads by the Australian writer A. B. Paterson. A slight rider on a small pony faces a drop that makes the boldest stockmen hold their breath.
Paterson wrote most of these verses for the Bulletin, a weekly paper in Sydney. The people in them are drovers, shearers, swagmen, troopers and jockeys, and they speak in their own words. You will meet racing tales, outlaws, comic yarns, poems of homesickness and the sound of the verse itself.
対象読者. Readers who enjoy galloping rhythms, campfire yarns, horses, open country and dry humour will love this collection. It also suits lovers of old songs read aloud.
The 8 key ideas
Key idea 1 · free to read
A bush poet gathers songs from the road
The Man from Snowy River and Other Verses is a book of ballads by A. B. Paterson, who wrote for the Bulletin in Sydney. Most of the poems first ran there, so readers across Australia already knew many of them.
In a short prelude, Paterson says he gathered these stories far from town, in wind and rain, on the overland routes of the west. He made them in earnest and in jest during the night watches. He asks for nothing grand. One moment of delight for his old comrades will do.
The poems are written in the voices of people who work with stock and shear sheep in the sheds. A station hand, a swagman, a bush priest and a ruined squatter all take a turn. The book feels like a night around a fire where everyone tells a tale.
The places are real. The Castlereagh, the Bogan, the Lachlan and the Darling ride through the poems like old friends. The mood ranges from galloping chases to rough comedy to quiet pictures of drought and lonely graves. Paterson moves from a laugh to a tear within a page.
The book is one storyteller passing round his best yarns.
