- Résumé : "Such Is Life" by Joseph Furphy is a novel that delves into the lives of bullock drivers in the Australian outback during the late 19th century. The narrative begins with the protagonist, Tom Collins, finding himself unemployed and reflecting on the philosophical implications of his situation. As he travels through the Riverina region, he encounters a group of bullock drivers, each with their own stories and challenges. The novel explores themes of survival, camaraderie, and the harsh realities of life in the Australian bush. The characters engage in discussions about the ethics of their work, the challenges of finding grass and water for their cattle, and the moral dilemmas they face. The story is rich with detailed descriptions of the landscape and the daily struggles of the characters, providing a vivid picture of life in the outback. Through the interactions and experiences of the characters, Furphy offers a critique of the social and economic conditions of the time, highlighting the resilience and resourcefulness required to navigate the challenges of the Australian frontier.
