2 2 y separately published work icon Urashima Taro no shi Roger Pulvers , ( trans. Michio Ochi )expression Tokyo : Shinchosha , 1980 Z1355691 1980 single work novel '...Pulvers uses the Cowra breakout during the Pacific war and its consequences in present Japanese society to describe a particular group of Japanese who express a strong degree of racial prejudice and have not fully accepted that Japan was defeated during the war. Here Pulvers even proceeds to raise the problematic issue concerning the responsibility of the Showa Emperor for the Pacific War. The protagonist, Ron, a correspondent from the Australian Broadcasting Commission, tries to solve the murders that occurred during the Cowra uprising, an activity which eventually leads to the discovery of a plot concerning how the war should be ended to protect the whole system of Japanese society.'

'Set in nineteenth-century Australia, Voss is the story of the secret passion between an explorer and a naïve young woman. Although they have met only a few times, Voss and Laura are joined by overwhelming, obsessive feelings for each other. Voss sets out to cross the continent. As hardships, mutiny and betrayal whittle away his power to endure and to lead, his attachment to Laura gradually increases. Laura, waiting in Sydney, moves through the months of separation as if they were a dream and Voss the only reality.

'From the careful delineation of Victorian society to the sensitive rendering of hidden love to the stark narrative of adventure in the Australian desert, Patrick White's novel is a work of extraordinary power and virtuosity.'
