About this book

Such Is Life is the 1903 novel by Joseph Furphy (1843-1912), writing as Tom Collins, a landmark of Australian literature. Presented as the diary of a bullock-driver in the Riverina, its rambling, philosophical, idiomatic narrative paints the bush life of colonial Australia with unmatched authenticity. Long recognized as a national classic, it is one of the foundational works of Australian fiction. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
