{"product_id":"truganini-journey-through-the-apocalypse","title":"Truganini: Journey through the apocalypse","description":"\u003cp\u003eCassandra Pybus's ancestors told a story of an old Aboriginal woman who would wander across their farm on Bruny Island, in south-east Tasmania, in the 1850s and 1860s. As a child, Cassandra didn't know this woman was Truganini, and that Truganini was walking over the country of her clan, the Nuenonne. For nearly seven decades, Truganini lived through a psychological and cultural shift more extreme than we can imagine. But her life was much more than a regrettable tragedy. Now Cassandra has examined the original eyewitness accounts to write Truganini's extraordinary story in full. Hardly more than a child, Truganini managed to survive the devastation of the 1820s, when the clans of south-eastern Tasmania were all but extinguished. She spent five years on a journey around Tasmania, across rugged highlands and through barely penetrable forests, with George Augustus Robinson, the self-styled missionary who was collecting the survivors to send them into exile on Flinders Island. She has become an international icon for a monumental tragedy - the so-called extinction of the original people of Tasmania. Truganini's story is inspiring and haunting - a journey through the apocalypse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Truganini, Robinson, George Augustus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 315\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allen \u0026amp; Unwin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781760529222\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pybus, Cassandra","offers":[{"title":"Very Good — £5.90","offer_id":48035198468273,"sku":"SB-1760529222-C2","price":5.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/1760529222.jpg?v=1792026088","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/truganini-journey-through-the-apocalypse","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
