Ken's paintings depict stories and figures from her personal  (Dreaming), the spirituality that is associated with her ancestor's homeland.
Her father is from the country around Amaṯa and Walitjara, and Ken most often depicts this country and its  in her paintings.
She also illustrates her mother's country, which is further west, near Irrunytju.
Ken's paintings have been featured in group exhibitions in many of Australia's major cities.
Some of her work was also part of an exhibition in Graz, Austria in 2002.
One of her paintings, titled  – My Country, was chosen as a finalist for the National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Art Award in 2010.
It was bought by a private collector.
Another of Ken's works, a painting depicting the  (Seven Sisters Dreaming), was chosen by the Art Gallery of South Australia as the winner of its "Desert Country" competition in 2011.
The exhibition featured works by several artists from across the Aṉangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands, including Maringka Baker, Nura Rupert and Jimmy Baker.
Examples of Ken's work are shown in the National Gallery of Victoria, the Art Gallery of South Australia, the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art, and the National Gallery of Australia.
It is also held in several major private galleries in Australia.
Neo-impressionism is a term coined by a French art critic in 1886 to describe an art movement founded by Georges Seurat.
Seurat’s greatest masterpiece, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, marked the beginning of this movement when it appeared at an exhibition of the Société des Artistes Indépendants in Paris.
Around this time, many painters were in search of new methods.
Followers of neo-impressionism were drawn to modern urban scenes as well as landscapes and seashores.
Science-based interpretation of lines and colours influenced neo-impressionists’ characterization of their own contemporary art.
The art critic Félix Fénéon first used the term neo-impressionism in an article he wrote for the Belgian journal L’art Moderne in 1886.
With the term he wanted to show that the way Seurat painted was different from the ways painting was done in Impressionism.
In total, the movement lasted about five years.
The crowns of Silla are golden crowns made in the Korean kingdom of Silla.

Persoon was born in South Africa at the Cape of Good Hope.
He was the third child of an immigrant Pomeranian father and Dutch mother.
His mother died soon after he was born; at the age of thirteen his father (who died a year later) sent him to Europe for his education.
He started his education studying theology at Halle.
In 1784 at the age 22 Persoon switched to medicine at Leiden and Göttingen.
He received a doctorate from the "Kaiserlich-Leopoldinisch-Carolinische Deutsche Akademie der Naturforscher" in 1799.
He moved to Paris in 1802 where he spent the rest of his life.
He rented an upper floor of a house in a poor part of town.
In his later life he was unemployed, unmarried, poor and kept to himself.
He did correspond with botanists throughout Europe however.
Because of his financial difficulties, Persoon agreed to donate his herbarium to the House of Orange, in return for an adequate pension for life.
The earliest of his writings was Abbildungen der Schwämme (Illustrations of the fungi).
It was published in three parts.
The first was published in 1790.
The second in 1791.
The third was published and 1793.
Between 1805 and 1807, he published two volumes of his Synopsis plantarum .
This was a popular work describing 20,000 species of all types of plants.
But his pioneering work was in fungi.
He wrote several things related to mushrooms and other forms of fungi.
Beginning with the Synopsis methodica fungorum (1801); it is the starting point for nomenclature of the Uredinales, Ustilaginales, and the Gasteromycetes.
In 1815, he was elected a corresponding member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
The genus Persoonia is a variety of small Australian trees and shrubs and was named after him.

Nura Rupert is an Australian Aboriginal artist from north-west South Australia.
She produces her works using intaglio methods of printmaking.
The designs are drawn by etching and linocutting, and the prints are done on paper.
Nura was born about 1933, in north-western South Australia.
The place of her birth is a rock hole called Tjitapiti, which is northeast of Nyapaṟi, and close to what is now the outstation of Angatja.
Nura was a "bush baby" (she was born in the bush), and her family lived a traditional, nomadic way of life in the desert around Angatja.
Nura was a baby when her parents and elder brother settled at Ernabella, which was a Presbyterian mission at the time.
Nura worked in crafts from a young age.
Growing up at the mission, she learned weaving and knitting to make rugs and clothes.
She also learned to make artistic objects from wood carving and poker work.
She began painting around 2000, producing acrylic paintings on canvases.
She started using printmaking techniques a few years later.
Most of Nura's designs depict stories from her childhood.
They are usually images of children or animals, such as dingos and goats, but she is best known for her depictions of  (spirits).
These are from traditional Pitjantjatjara stories told to children to make sure they stay away from trouble.
Her style is often described as "child-like", because the shapes are very simple and look like a child's drawings.
Works by Nura have been featured in exhibitions since 2000, in many of Australia's major cities and also in cities in the United Kingdom.
Her work is held in several major collections, including Flinders University, the Art Gallery of South Australia, the National Gallery of Australia, the National Museum of Australia, and Parliament House in Canberra.
Prints by Nura were chosen as finalists for the National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Art Awards in 2006 and 2007, and the Western Australian Indigenous Art Awards in 2010.
The Australian Plant Name Index (APNI) is an online database of all published names of Australian vascular plants.
It covers all names, whether current names, synonyms or invalid names.
It includes bibliographic and typification details, links to other resources, and data from the Census of Australian Vascular Plants divided by state.
Users can also make notes and comments on other details.
The APNI is recognised by Australian herbaria as the official source for Australian plant descriptions.
It is the core component of Australia's Virtual Herbarium, which is a collaborative project with A$10-million funding.
The project is aimed at providing integrated online access to the data and specimen collections of Australia's major herbaria.
Australian Plant Name Index (APNI), a full search interface that delivers full results, with no automatic interpretation, and
What's Its Name (WIN), a less powerful search interface that delivers concise results, together with automatic (and not always correct) inference as to the currency.
Originally the idea of Nancy Tyson Burbidge, it began as a four-volume printed work of 3,055 pages.
It contains over 60,000 plant names.
It was compiled by Arthur Chapman, and was part of the Australian Biological Resources Study (ABRS).
In 1991 it was made available as an online database, and handed over to the Australian National Botanic Gardens.
Two years later, responsibility for its maintenance has given to the newly formed Centre for Plant Biodiversity Research.

Cabinet making, also spelled cabinetmaking  or "cabinet-making" with a hyphen,  is the use of fine woodworking skills to make cabinets and furniture.
In the 18th century, some European cabinetmakers became well known.
Cabinet making was an essential trade in early British North America.
It was a huge money maker.
They made furniture like cabinets, chairs, doors, drawers, cupboards, bed frames, tables, and many more.
They used gimlets, gouges, bow saws, chisels, braces, and hacksaws to make their furniture.
The wood they used was oak, maple, cypress, chestnut, and yellow pine.

Mantidflies are insects in the family Mantispidae.
They are small to moderate-sized insects in the order Neuroptera.
There are many genera with around 400 species worldwide, especially in the tropics and subtropics.
Only 5 species of Mantispa occur in Europe.
Description and ecology
They get their name from their mantis-like appearance, as their spiny "raptorial" (raptor-like) front legs are modified to catch small insect prey and are very similar to the front legs of mantids.
The adults are predatory insects that are often nocturnal, and are sometimes attracted by porch lights.
They have four membranous wings which may sometimes be patterned (especially in wasp mimicking species) but are usually clear.
Adult mantidflies are predators of suitably sized insects, which they catch as mantids do.
Mantidflies are active hunters, but as with other Neuroptera, they are cumbersome fliers.
Their larvae are either parasitoids or predators.
Subfamily Symphrasinae larvae are parasitoids on bee, wasp or scarab beetle larvae.
Larvae of the subfamily Calomantispinae are predators of small arthropods.
Larvae of the subfamily Mantispinae seek out female spiders or their egg sacs which they then enter; the scarab-like larvae then feed on the spider eggs, draining egg contents through a piercing/sucking tube.
Then they pupate in the egg sac.

Barney Fushimi Hajiro (September 16, 1916–January 21, 2011) was a United States Army soldier.
Hajiro was born in Hawaii to Japanese immigrant parents He is a Nisei, which means that he is a second generation Japanese-American.
He grew up in a rural area.
According to a friend who spoke at his funeral,
"As a plantation boy, he probably learned some things from his Japanese schoolteacher or principal. . . .
He respected his principal and his family values.
It all comes together; it builds a guy."
Hajiro volunteered to be part of the all-Nisei 442nd Regimental Combat Team.
This army unit was mostly made up of Japanese Americans from Hawaii and the mainland.
For his actions in October 1944, Hajiro was awarded the Army's second-highest decoration, the Distinguished Service Cross (DSC).
Hajiro's award was upgraded to the Medal of Honor.
Hajiro was recommended for the Victoria Cross.
He received the British Military Medal in 1948.
Hajiro's Medal of Honor recognized his conduct in frontline fighting in eastern France in 1944.
He helped attack a house, captured a numerically superior force; and without help from others, he silenced two machine gun nests.
Private Barney F. Hajiro distinguished himself by extraordinary heroism in action on 19, 22, and October 29, 1944, in the vicinity of Bruyeres and Biffontaine, eastern France.
Private Hajiro, while acting as a sentry on top of an embankment on October 19, 1944, in the vicinity of Bruyeres, France, rendered assistance to allied troops attacking a house 200 yards away by exposing himself to enemy fire and directing fire at an enemy strong point.
He assisted the unit on his right by firing his automatic rifle and killing or wounding two enemy snipers.
On October 22, 1944, he and one comrade took up an outpost security position about 50 yards to the right front of their platoon, concealed themselves, and ambushed an 18-man, heavily armed, enemy patrol, killing two, wounding one, and taking the remainder as prisoners.
On October 29, 1944, in a wooded area in the vicinity of Biffontaine, France, Private Hajiro initiated an attack up the slope of a hill referred to as "Suicide Hill" by running forward approximately 100 yards under fire.
He then advanced ahead of his comrades about 10 yards, drawing fire and spotting camouflaged machine gun nests.
He fearlessly met fire with fire and single-handedly destroyed two machine gun nests and killed two enemy snipers.
As a result of Private Hajiro's heroic actions, the attack was successful.
Private Hajiro's extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon him, his unit, and the United States Army.

Wikilyiri was born around 1932, in the desert of north-western South Australia.
The place where he was born is Kunamata, a rock hole south of what is now the community of Nyapaṟi.
His father had three wives, and Wikilyiri is the son of the second wife.
He has an elder sister, Wingu, who was borne to his father's first wife.
Wikilyiri and his family, who are Pitjantjatjara, were all born and lived in the bush, living a traditional way of life.
After settling at Ernabella, Wikilyiri worked in land management and horticulture.
He worked for many years as a ranger for Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park, living at Muṯitjulu.
Wikilyiri paints stories from his Dreaming, the spirituality that defines his kinship with the land.
The Dreaming associated with his birth place, Kunumata, carries the  (a kind of python) as its totem.
Wikilyiri's paintings depict sacred legends about his ancestors and how they created the land around Kunumata.
He also paints similar stories about Piltati, another rock hole nearby and a sacred site for Pitjantjatjara men.
Pink dominates many of Wikilyiri's major paintings, which is an unusual choice of colour for the Western Desert style of art.
His work has been shown in major exhibitions in many cities around Australia and other countries.
Examples are held in the National Gallery of Victoria, the Art Gallery of South Australia, the Australian National University, and the National Gallery of Australia.
Paintings by Wikilyiri were chosen as finalists for the National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Art Awards in 2009, 2010 and 2011.
North Queensland or the Northern Region is the northern part of the state of Queensland in Australia.
It is just south of Far North Queensland.
Queensland is a massive state and is larger than many countries.
The tropical northern part of it has been historically remote and undeveloped.
This has resulted in a regional character and identity that is quite different to the rest of the state.
Townsville is the largest community in North Queensland.
It is regarded as an unofficial capital.
The region has a population of 231,628 and covers 80,041.5 km².
There is no official boundary that separates North Queensland from the rest of the state.
Unofficially, its southern border is usually considered to begin south of the Mackay Region.
To the north is the Far North Queensland region.
The centre of the region is around Cairns.
To the west west is the Gulf Country.
North Queensland is a coastal region.
Its largest settlement is the city of Townsville, where there is a major seaport.

Italian food is the food created by traditional Italian cooking.
It is not any one thing, because it is strongly regionalised.
This means that the cooking is different in different parts of Italy.
Naturally there are some basic foods which can be found all over Italy, and now in many other countries.
These are pasta, pizza, cannoli pastry desserts, ice cream and red or white wine.
Calamari dishes of  fried squid (fried calamari) are often on the menu.
Olives have been grown in Italy for thousands of years.
They are eaten, and also are the basis of olive oil.
Olive oil and vinaigrette or balsamic vinegar are always on the table or nearby.
Italians also make many kinds of breads in a different style from French bread.
Their styles of coffee have also become internationally famous.
Some of their liqueurs, like limoncello, are very distinctive.

Christoph Carl Friedrich von Wurmb (2 July 1742-March 1781) was a German botanist.
His official shorthand is „Wurmb“.
He was a descendant of the noble family von Wurmb.
At some point in time, his elder brother Ludwig and he himself fell in love with the same woman.
After a long decision process, he decided to emigrate, and leave the woman to his brother.
He joined the Dutch East India Company, and emigrated to Amsterdam, and later to Batavia, the modern-day Jakarta.
His brother later married this woman, Christiane von Werthern.
His sister's brother in law, Friedrich Schiller, wrote a short story about it, A magnanimous act (Eine Grossmütige Handlung).
In biology, he is known for his taxonomy of palm trees.
and for his writing about a Bornean Oranggutan.
Baron von Wurmb was also an important member of the Batavia Society of Arts and Sciences (now National Museum) and the founder of its well-known library, now the National Library.
He lived in a house in the old Batavia area, known as the Yellow Lions building, due to the two golden (now faded) lion statues that guard the entrance of the house.
Though now slightly run down, the building still stands next to Kali Besar in Jakarta.

In microeconomics an oligopsony is a market form where there are few buyers.
There may be many sellers, but because there are few buyers, the decision each buyer makes influences the whole market.
Therefore this is an example of imperfect competition.
Oligopsony works just like oligopoly involving a few number of sellers.
This market has a few big buyers willing to buy a product or service.
The number being limited enables the purchasers to have a sense of control over the sellers, and lets them negotiate with product prices.
One example of this is the market for cocoa: Three companies (Cargill, Archer Daniels Midland and Callebaut) buy most of the world production, usually from small farmers.
Other examples are that of tobacco or that of bananas.
By extension the "market for work" also has this characteristic: there are few companies (employers, "buying work") and many people "offering to work".
Bhaskar, V., A. Manning and T. To (2002) 'Oligopsony and Monopsonistic Competition in Labor Markets,' Journal of Economic Perspectives, 16, 155–174.

A natural monopoly is a type of monopoly in which it is the only seller and producer of a good or service.
It is impossible for a new firm to enter the market as there are very high barriers to entry and very high startup costs, similar to that of a normal monopoly.
The natural monopoly term is usually used to describe markets that have very high fixed costs compared to the marginal costs of selling the good or service, creating economies of scale that are large compared to the size of the market and hence resulting in very high barriers to entry.
Examples of natural monopolies include public utilities such as water services and electricity.
A Monopsony is a market form where there is only one buyer, but many sellers.
Much like with the monopoly this single buyer has a complete influence on the price.
In practice, this market form does not occur often.
One example may be a healthcare system where there is only one  "buyer" of healthcare services; which is usually the state, or a state-run institution.
Another example is defense industry, where the state is the often only buyer.
Still another is that of public transport: Either the whole public transport is run by one (usually state-owned) company, or the state awards contracts to run a given line for a certain time period.
Koreapas (고파스) is an online homepage for Korea University students in South Korea.
It provides information which is useful in school life.
It is called  ().
It was started in 2007 by person who named Park Jong Chan.
There is news about school and lecture information.
Students talk freely and share information.
So, it is useful to register before the semester starts.
You can find information about restaurants and flea markets too.
Park Jong Chan who made this online community was elected the student president in 2011.
His well-known name because of making Ko-pas helped him to be elected.
Many students are so familiar in this homepage and it makes students remember his name easily.
Ko-pas has been criticized because of its exclusivity.
There is a anonymous board in Ko-pas page and some students use swear words and say unproper words as a student.
The other problem is exclusive culture in Ko-pas.
They only along with those members in that site and show disrespect to other groups especially less famous university in Korea.
But, it could be a one of side effects and internet cultures as well

The Mall is a major avenue or road in the city of Lahore, in Pakistan.
It was made during the colonial times of the British Raj, in the 1850s and 1860s.
The Mall is still Lahore's main avenue or road, with many important sites and buildings on both sides of it.
It is usually divided into two sections, the 'Lower Mall' near the Punjab Government Secretariat, the University of the Punjab, the Government College University, the Lahore Museum and other locations; and the 'Upper Mall' near the Lawrence Gardens (now renamed the Bagh i Jinnah), the Lahore Zoo, Aitchison College, the Government House and the Lahore Gymkhana Club.

Joséphine de Beauharnais (23 June 1763 – 29 May 1814) was the first wife of Napoléon Bonaparte.
This made her the first Empress of the French.
Her first husband Alexandre de Beauharnais was guillotined during the Reign of Terror.
She did not have any children with Napoleon, as a result, he divorced her in 1810.
Then he married Marie Louise of Austria.
Helichrysum is a type of flower.
It has about 600 species in the sunflower family (Asteraceae).
The name Helichrysum comes from two Greek words: helisso means to turn around and chrysos means gold.
It grows in Africa, Madagascar, Australasia and Eurasia.
There are many species in South Africa.
Xerochrysum bicolor is a flowering plant in the family Asteraceae.
It grows in Tasmania, mainly near the coast.
It grows to about 40 cm in height and 50 cm wide.
The flowerheads are on stalks.
They have a diameter of 3 to 4 cm.
Abbotsford House near the town of Melrose in Roxburghshire in Scotland was the house of the writer Sir Walter Scott, where he lived from 1812 to 1832.
He wrote a lot of historical adventure stories, many of which have been filmed for the cinema and television.
The house is now a museum dedicated to Scott's life and works.
He was the son of a doctor.
He was sent to the famous Rugby School in 1784, but was removed in 1791, to avoid expulsion.
He then went up to study at Trinity College, Oxford University but was also rusticated from there in 1794.
After this, he developed some problems with his father, who was very angry at him, so Landor left his home.
Poetry and writings
In 1794-95, he prepared his first book of poems, published in 1795 as The Poems of Walter Savage Landor.
This was followed by Gebir (1798), Poetry (1802), Imaginary Conversations (series, 1824-1829) and other works.
He was also for some time married to Julia Thuillier and settled in France for a short time, then moved to Italy.
After fighting with his wife, he left her and returned to England in 1835.
In 1853 he published his last book, Last Fruit off an Old Tree and then, in 1858, left England again and went and settled in Europe.
He died in 1864.
Mihailo Živanović (Belgrade 17 February 1928 — Belgrade 18 July 1989), known as  Mika-Žuti (Yellow), was a prominent and one of the most inventive and best Serbian and Yugoslav clarinetist, saxophonist, a very prolific composer, conductor of RTB Light Music Orchestras and arranger.
His first contact with music, dating back to the 1936, was when the father of an eight-year old Mika enrolled him in primary music school Stanković where he was first taught to play the piano.
The year 1942 was crucial in his life because, upon hearing the sound of the clarinet through Radio London, he realized that this was what he wanted.
And since then, fascinated by the beauty of jazz, he had regularly visited Concert Hall in Belgrade and listened to jazz concerts of then our masters (Elija Genić, Mladen Guteša, Vojin Popović and others), as well as of the foreign performers (Kari Burnett, German singer).
Mihailo attended the Third Male Grammar School and Secondary Music School "Stankovic", the  piano department.
He then enrolled at the Faculty of Sciences in Belgrade, department of chemistry, and left it for the music before graduation.
The biggest turning point in his life happened in 1946 when he saw and bought his first clarinet in a consignment shop.
Since he had possessed a good knowledge of music, he began to practice day and night, this time – clarinet.
Work with the orchestra Fis-dur
Jazz was very appealing to Mihailo Živanović.
Accomplishing himself in this field, in 1946 he formed a jazz orchestra Fis-dur which he named after his clarinet Fis-dur.
The orchestra was led by Michael himself.
Due to the quality, the orchestra had very soon become one of the most famous in Belgrade.
The first members of the orchestra were: Milo Dimitrijević (guitar), Duško Radić (piano), Stanislav Sodermajer (drums) and Mihailo Živanović (clarinet).
Anxious to learn and progress further in music in 1946.
he continued to study clarinet at the Allmusic Academy where he met Eduard Sađil, also a student of clarinet.
Orchestra Fis-dur achieved success after success: performances, tours, great delight and standing ovations of the satisfied audience.
In the year 1947, there was a large change in the orchestra with the new top musicians: Predrag Ivanović (trumpet), dr Aleksandar Pejić (accordion), Milovan Vukajlović-Genije (piano and accordion), Predrag Stefanović-Grof (-Count)(trombone) and Branko Pejaković (bass).
Only Sodermajer and Živanović remained of the old members.
Significant, almost crucial meeting with Boro Roković (a trumpeter, composer, arranger, pianist and accordionist) occurred while playing at a dance party in 1949.
Bora heard him and was impressed by his talent.
He wanted to help Mihajlo, introduce him more and better into the world of jazz and direct him to the true value.
He offered him to join his orchestra.
Živanović played there until the end of 1953.
Soon he was invited by Aleksandar Nećak and played in all three orchestras at the same time.

Nyakul Dawson (c. 1935 – 12 January 2007) was an Australian Aboriginal artist from Irrunytju.
He was one of the earliest Ngaanyatjarra artists to achieve success using Western-style painting techniques.
Examples of his work are held in the National Gallery of Victoria, and the Art Gallery of New South Wales.
Dawson was born near Mount Davies in the north-west corner of South Australia, around 1935.
The exact year is not known, because he was born in the bush and grew up without any contact with Western society.
He and his family, who belonged to the Ngaanyatjarra nation, lived a traditional, nomadic way of life in the desert.
When he was a boy, Dawson began training as a  (traditional healer) under his grandfather.
He was taught about the country, the spiritual knowledge and law associated with it, and how to use traditional tools and methods to heal people.
In the 1950s, government patrols removed Dawson and his family from their homeland in order to escape the fallout from the nuclear tests at Maralinga.
They were settled at Warburton, to the north-west, with many other Ngaanyatjarra families.
It was at Warburton that he was given the surname "Dawson".
His nomadic childhood in the desert made him an expert on how to survive in the wilderness.
He was often used as a guide in prospecting expeditions.
While living at Warburton, Dawson married a woman named Alkawari.
They moved to Irrunytju, closer to Dawson's home country, and had three children during the 1970s.
Dawson married again much later, to Anmanari Brown.
Anmanari had also been married before, and her several children became part of his family.
Dawson remained highly respected as a community elder and traditional healer until his death.
Dawson began painting in 2002, aged in his 60s.
The year before, the women of Irrunytju had opened an art centre in the community, called Irrunytju Arts.
His wife, Anmanari, had already been painting at the centre for several months, and Dawson joined her along with several of the community's other senior men.
Dawson's first wife, Alkawari, also became a successful artist at Irrunytju.
Dawson's paintings depict creation stories from the Dreamtime and concepts from his spirituality.
They illustrate his family's Dreaming and how their ancestors created the land.
His birthplace is on the Dreaming track (or "songline") of the  (Goanna Man), the path travelled by one of his ancestors from the Dreamtime whose totem is the perentie lizard.
The scenes in his paintings are from the places he travelled as a boy with his family in the central Australian desert.
Dawson was a member of the Executive Committee of Desart for several years until November 2006.
In June 2006, he travelled to Paris for the opening of the Musée du quai Branly.
He was there with the Australia Council for the Arts as a representative for Aboriginal Australian art.
Dawson died some time at the start of January 2007, while driving with his nephew (Jarman Woods) across the Great Victoria Desert.
They had spent Christmas with relatives in Kalgoorlie and were returning home by a long, isolated track in the desert.
The track between Kalgoorlie and Irrunytju is over , a journey that they had made many times before.
Their car got a flat tyre some time after leaving Coonana.
They were reported missing on 8 January at Tjuntjuntjara, the next community on their route.
The two men died of dehydration.
Dawson was also a diabetic, which made him much more vulnerable in the extreme heat.
His body was found on 12 January, a little over two weeks after they left Kalgoorlie.
It was found close to the car, about  east of Kalgoorlie.
Woods' body was found a few kilometres further away.

The Bridges of Madison County  is a 1992 fictional novel written by American author, Robert James Waller.
The book was published by Warner Books, Inc. In the first chapter, “The Beginning,” the author misleads the readers by saying that the book is a true story.
It is actually a work of fiction.
The main character, Kincaid, has the same first name as author and is a photographer and an artist, as was Robert James Waller.
The book is a love story about an Italian woman, Francesca Johnson, a farmer’s wife, who falls in love with Robert Kincaid, a photojournalist from Bellingham, Washington over a four-day period.
The story is set in Madison County, Iowa.
Winterset, the nearby town, is quite small, according to the book.
The novel has been translated into 25 languages and has sold 50 million copies worldwide.
It was on the New York Times best seller list for 164 weeks from 1992 until 1995.
The story was made into a movie in 1995, directed by Clint Eastwood.
Meryl Streep plays Francesca Johnson and Clint Eastwood plays Robert Kincaid.
Francesca Johnson is a conservative Italian woman in her mid-forties, living a quiet, conventional life on an Iowa farm.
Over a four-day period, while her husband and children are away, she meets and falls in love with Robert Kinkaid, a National Geographic photojournalist.
She wants to run away with him, but ultimately stays to protect her family from the hurt and scandal it would cause.
