In 1787, the twenty-eighth year of the reign of King George III, the British Government sent a fleet to colonize Australia. 'The Fatal Shore' is an epic description of the brutal transportation of men, women and children out of Georgian Britain into a horrific penal system which was to be the precursor to the Gulag and was the origin of Australia. This prize-winning work offers a scholarly, brilliantly entertaining narrative that has given its true history to Australia.
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".
