About this listen
Stan Parker, with only a horse and a dog for companions, journeys to a remote scrubby patch of land that he has inherited in the Australian hills. When the land is cleared enough for a rudimentary house to be built, Stan brings his new wife, Amy, to the wilderness. Together they struggle to establish a home for themselves and their growing family.
And together, but essentially apart, they face everything from the domestic upheavals of birth and death to natural disasters. In this chronicle of simple lives in joy and sorrow, Patrick White creates an evocative monument to human endurance.

'His greatest novel, The Tree of Man is a tragic pastoral about the penitential struggle with nature in a grim Australian Eden.' (Observer)
'A timeless work of art from which no essential element of life has been omitted.' (New York Times Book Review)
