This vintage book contains Charles H. Chomley's 1901 novel, "The Wisdom of Esau". Charles Henry Chomley (1868 - 1942) was an Australian barrister, writer, farmer, and journalist whose written works clearly display his vehement interest and involvement in both politics and law. This fantastic novel is highly recommended for those with an interest in Australian history, and it is not to be missed by fans and collectors of Chomley's seminal work. Contents include: "Book I.--Anticipation", "Book II.--Probation", "Book III.--Realisation". Other notable works by this author include: "The Long Lost Galleon" (1905), "Mark Meredith: A Tale of Socialism" (1905), and "The True Story of the Kelly Gang of Bushrangers" (1900). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
