Giới thiệu về sách nói này

There was a Breaker Morant - he was executed at Pietersburg on 27 February 1902. His crime? Wilful murder of civilians. Yet to this day his guilt remains in doubt. Kit Denton's novel, The Breaker, does more than recount the facts and mystery surrounding Morant's death sentence. Full of action and set in three continents, it covers the entire range of the Breaker's activities. We see him as a champion horseman, a likeable larrikin, a popular balladist. We see him in love and in war. Then we see him face the firing squad that will end his life. Was he a cold-blooded killer or a scapegoat?

Giới thiệu tác giả

Arnold Christopher 'Kit' Denton was a British-born Australian writer, soldier and broadcaster. He was also the father of comedian and television presenter Andrew Denton. Born in London, England in 1928, Denton was raised in the East End until he joined the British Army where he served a radio broadcaster with the British Forces Broadcasting Service in Germany. He emigrated to Australia in the late 1940s, and worked as a gold miner in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia. From 1951 until 1965 he worked for the Australian Broadcasting Commission as an announcer, and eventually moved on to screenwriting, producing and directing television. In the 1970s, an anonymous television critic for The Australian newspaper was revealed to be Kit Denton, writing under the pseudonym 'Janus'. Denton died in April 1997 at his home in the Blue Mountains, New South Wales.

Terence Donovan is one of the most enduring names in the Australian film and television industry, with roles in such well-known television series as Neighbours and Cop Shop. His theatre credits include the Australian tour of Sleuth and the sell-out No. 1 National Tour in the UK of Peter Pan – The British Musical. Terence has also appeared in many successful films including The Man From Snowy River, Breaker Morant and The Getting of Wisdom.
