具体描述
"I lost my own father at 12 yr. of age and know what it is to be raised on lies and silences my dear daughter you are presently too young to understand a word I write but this history is for you and will contain no single lie may I burn in Hell if I speak false." In True History of the Kelly Gang," " the legendary Ned Kelly speaks for himself, scribbling his narrative on errant scraps of paper in semiliterate but magically descriptive prose as he flees from the police. To his pursuers, Kelly is nothing but a monstrous criminal, a thief and a murderer. To his own people, the lowly class of ordinary Australians, the bushranger is a hero, defying the authority of the English to direct their lives. Indentured by his bootlegger mother to a famous horse thief (who was also her lover), Ned saw his first prison cell at 15 and by the age of 26 had become the most wanted man in the wild colony of Victoria, taking over whole towns and defying the law until he was finally captured and hanged. Here is a classic outlaw tale, made alive by the skill of a great novelist.""
作者简介
Peter Carey was born in Australia in 1943.
He was educated at the local state school until the age of eleven and then became a boarder at Geelong Grammar School. He was a student there between 1954 and 1960 — after Rupert Murdoch had graduated and before Prince Charles arrived.
In 1961 he studied science for a single unsuccessful year at Monash University. He was then employed by an advertising agency where he began to receive his literary education, meeting Faulkner, Joyce, Kerouac and other writers he had previously been unaware of. He was nineteen.
For the next thirteen years he wrote fiction at night and weekends, working in many advertising agencies in Melbourne, London and Sydney.
After four novels had been written and rejected The Fat Man in History — a short story collection — was published in 1974. This slim book made him an overnight success.
From 1976 Carey worked one week a month for Grey Advertising, then, in 1981 he established a small business where his generous partner required him to work only two afternoons a week. Thus between 1976 and 1990, he was able to pursue literature obsessively. It was during this period that he wrote War Crimes, Bliss, Illywhacker, Oscar and Lucinda. Illywhacker was short listed for the Booker Prize. Oscar and Lucinda won it. Uncomfortable with this success he began work on The Tax Inspector.
In 1990 he moved to New York where he completed The Tax Inspector. He taught at NYU one night a week. Later he would have similar jobs at Princeton, The New School and Barnard College. During these years he wrote The Unusual Life of Tristan Smith, Jack Maggs, and True History of the Kelly Gang for which he won his second Booker Prize.
He collaborated on the screenplay of the film Until the End of the World with Wim Wenders.
In 2003 he joined Hunter College as the Director of the MFA Program in Creative Writing. In the years since he has written My Life as a Fake, Theft, His Illegal Self and Parrot and Oliver in America (shortlisted for 2010 Man Booker Prize)

读后感
如同前言所说，作者的语言通俗得甚至有些平淡（更何况经过了翻译）。看惯了太多大片中英雄的完美打杀、超级无敌和足智多谋，凯利的经历也不那么让我震撼了。然而看完之后，闭上眼，却觉得这样一个几乎总是藏在农场和山脉中，有这样那样弱点，但又始终勇敢甚至单纯的英雄，是那...
评分曾经，忘了在哪里，偶然看到电视台在播一部电影，浓浓的西部风格，以及苍凉的画面，对我有一种莫名的吸引力，看完之后我记住了“凯利帮”这个名字。多年之后，我发现了这本书，而距我现在写这篇评论，这本书在我脑海中的印象也已经模糊。在我而言，澳大利亚似乎没有历史，因此...

用户评价
这部作品的叙事手法简直是**一次深入骨髓的沉浸式体验**。作者没有采取那种冷冰冰的历史陈述，而是将读者直接抛入到那个蛮荒、充满张力的年代。你仿佛能闻到澳大利亚内陆干燥的尘土味，感受到阳光炙烤皮肤的灼热感，以及那种社会边缘人物特有的、与整个体制对抗的神经紧绷状态。文字的密度极高，每一个句子都像灌满了铅，沉重却又富有力量。它不是简单地讲述“发生了什么”，而是精准地捕捉了人物内心的挣扎与矛盾，那种被逼到绝境后的爆发，那种对不公义的原始反抗，读来令人拍案叫绝。尤其是在描绘那些紧张对峙的场景时，节奏的把控堪称大师级，时而如平静的湖面下暗流涌动，时而猛地掀起惊涛骇浪，让人喘不过气来。对于那些喜欢被文字的张力所牵引，而非仅仅满足于历史事实罗列的读者来说，这本书的文本本身就是一场盛宴。它更像是一部用文字雕刻而成的雕塑，每一笔触都充满了情感的重量和对那个时代深刻的理解。
评分如果用一个词来形容阅读这部作品的感受，那一定是**“原始的生命力”**。这本书散发着一种未经驯化的、野性的气息，这与它所描绘的广袤、未被完全开化的内陆景观是完美契合的。作者的语言风格极其粗粝有力，充满了口语化的力量，仿佛能听到那个时代人们说话时的语调和腔调。这种**语言上的“真实性”**，构建了一种强大的氛围感，让你觉得自己不是在读一部历史小说，而是在听一位老人在火堆旁，用最质朴也最震撼的方式讲述他亲身经历的残酷往事。它迫使你直面那个社会结构崩溃、秩序尚未建立的灰色地带，那种在道德模糊地带游走的生存智慧，既令人警惕，又不得不佩服其顽强的生命韧性。
评分说实话，这本书的**结构设计**令我感到既惊喜又有些许挑战。它没有采用线性叙事的老套路，而是像拼图一样，将那些碎片化的信息、人物的独白、官方的记录以及民间传说交织在一起。这种手法极大地增强了历史的复杂性和多面性。我们看到的不再是一个被单方面定性的英雄或恶棍，而是无数个相互矛盾的侧影，共同构成了那个特定历史时期环境下人性的全景图。这种不确定性，这种对单一“真相”的刻意回避，反而让人对故事的真实性产生了更深层次的思考。我花了一些时间才完全适应这种跳跃式的叙事节奏，但一旦沉浸其中，便发现作者的高明之处——历史从来都不是一条直线，它是由无数个声音和视角交织而成的复杂织锦。阅读过程更像是一种主动的“考古”，需要读者自己去辨别、去重建属于自己的理解框架，而不是被动接受既定的结论。
评分从**历史文献的解读层面来看**，这本书展现了极高的学术敏感度和批判性思维。它似乎在不断地审视和解构既有的历史叙事，那些被官方历史或浪漫主义文学神化的部分，在这里都受到了细致的、近乎外科手术般的解剖。作者似乎在努力探寻，在那些被遮蔽的角落里，真正的驱动力是什么？是政治理想，还是单纯的饥饿与绝望？这种对史料的多元化运用和交叉比对，使得整个论述体系非常稳固，却又不失文学的感染力。它成功地挑战了读者既有的认知框架，提出了许多发人深省的问题，例如：在特定的社会环境下，何为人性的边界？以及，谁有权来定义“正义”与“邪恶”？这是一部需要你全神贯注、反复咀嚼才能体会其深意的作品。
评分这本书最触动我的地方在于，它成功地将一个被大众标签化的**“传奇人物”还原成了“活生生的人”**。那些我们从教科书或通俗小说中听到的关于他的传说，在这里被剥去了神话色彩，展现出他作为儿子、兄弟、以及一个身处绝境的男人的复杂情感。他对家庭的深厚情感，那种在体制暴力下，为了保护身边人而不得不走上绝路的悲剧性，令人深思。作者对于底层社会生活细节的描摹极为细腻到位，从贫瘠的食物到简陋的居所，再到人与人之间那种基于生存本能的信任与猜疑，都刻画得入木三分。这种对个体命运在宏大历史背景下的精准捕捉，让整个故事的基调充满了**人性的温度和无可奈何的悲凉感**。它探讨的不仅仅是法律与反抗，更是关于生存权利和尊严的终极拷问。
