The hunter [ang.]

Autor: Leigh, Julia.

An unnamed man has been sent to retrieve the DNA of the last Tasmanian tiger, an animal previously believed to be extinct. On his solitary trips into the remarkable wilderness survival skills of every kind are put to the test.

It is rare to find a first-time novelist who can so confidently avoid the confessional - albeit by reinventing Hemingway. Leigh has completely mastered the craft of storytelling and her evocation of time and place is stunning. A more than commonly gifted

writer, she has made a startling debut.
[Guardian]

Hypnotically gripping and extremely disturbing. It is not difficult to see why she was picked in this paper as one of the 21 writers to watch in the new millennium!
[Observer]

Compelling. lt is Julia Leigh`s control over language, metaphor and atmosphere that gives The Hunter its unquestionable power. It is a complex, difficult and unsettling book which demands close reading but which continues to resonate long after its end.
[Times Literary Supplement]
