Description - Romulus, My Father: Text Classics by Raimond Gaita

Romulus Gaita fled Yugoslavia aged thirteen, and came to Australia with his wife and their son soon after World War II. Tragic events were to overtake the boy’s life, but Raimond Gaita has an extraordinary and moving tale to tell of growing up with his father in country Victoria. Romulus, My Father is the much-loved story of how a  compassionate, honest man taught his son the meaning of living a decent life.

This Text Classics edition is introduced by the Walkley Award-winning journalist Anne Manne, whose partner, Robert Manne, initially encouraged Gaita to expand the eulogy he gave at his father’s funeral into this acclaimed memoir.
