The Fatal Shore is an essay by Robert Hughes that tells the epic story of the founding of Australia. With a characteristic style, Hughes delves into the dark origin of this nation, going back to the English system of transporting convicts. Between 1778 and 1868, voyages took place through which hundreds of thousands of prisoners were transferred to the distant Australian lands, transforming the territory into a huge prison. From original documents, Hughes unearths that impressive past that for a long time was preferred to ignore.
Robert Studley Forrest Hughes was an Australian art critic, writer and producer of television documentaries. He was described in 1997 by Robert Boynton of The New York Times as "the most famous art critic in the world".
