I did a quick search and found Upfield's books books in French and German. This sparked my interest, so for Australia Day I created Amazon store of books about Australia and by Australians in French and Australians in German.
The Australian Embassy in Paris had a list of popular Australian authors, so I included them. Some of them were only available in French, others in German, some in English. Here are the ones I cluld find in all three languages:
Author | French Title | German Title | English Title |
---|---|---|---|
Murray Bail | Eucalyptus | Eukalyptus | Eucalyptus |
Peter Carey | VĂ©ritable Histoire du Gang Kelly | Die wahre Geschichte von Ned Kelly | True History of the Kelly Gang |
Bruce Chatwin | Le Chant des Pistes | Traumpfade | Song Lines |
David Malouf | Je me souviens de Babylone | Jenseits von Babylon | Remembering Babylon |
Patrick White | Voss | Voss | Voss |
I sent a list to the Australian Embassy in Paris and Berlin.
ps: The German edition of Eukalyptus has Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe on the cover. But the film adaption of the book featuring them was "postponed".
