by BRYCE COURTENAY FOUR FIRES (from Australia's favourite author)

  Read by: Humphrey Bower Running Time: 30 hrs Categories: Adventure, Australiana, Epic Released: 2001 Media: on 2 mp3 CDs, Unabridged Audio Book ISBN: 9781921415289 The Author Arthur Bryce Courtenay , AM, (14 August 1933 – 22 November 2012) was a South African-Australian advertising director and novelist. He is one of Australia's best-selling authors, notable for his book The Power of One .

Courtenay's novels are primarily set in South Africa, the country of his birth, or Australia, his adopted country. His first book, The Power of One , was published in 1989 and, despite Courtenay's fears that it would never sell, quickly became one of Australia's best-selling books by any living author. The story was made into a film, as well as being re-released in an edition for children.

Courtenay was one of Australia's most commercially successful authors. He built up this success over the long term by promoting himself and developing a relationship with readers as much as marketing his books; for instance, he gave away up to 2,500 books free each year to readers he met in the street. However, only The Power of One has been published in the United States. Courtenay claimed that this was because "American publishers for the most part have difficulties about Australia; they are interested in books in their own country first and foremost. However, we receive many e-mails and letters from Americans who have read my books and I am hoping in the future that publishers will recognize that there is a market for all my books in the U.S."

Courtenay had a very strong work ethic, often writing 12 hours a day, and he normally wrote a book each year during his writing career. He turned to writing in the late 1980s after a 30-year career in advertising. In his lifetime, he sold more than 20 million copies of his books worldwide. Synopsis The four fires in this story are passion, religion, warfare and fire itself. While there are many more fires that drive the human spirit, love being perhaps the brightest flame of all, it is these four that have moulded us most as Australian people. The four fires give us our sense of place and, for better or for worse, shape our national character. Reviews "Humphrey Bower, speaking as Mola, delivers every possible nuance and emotion of his character's story, and shows a startling aptitude for other dialects as well. Close family friends and enemies include surviving Polish jews, an East Indian healer, and Irish Catholic priest, Japanese prison camp soldiers, and many others. All of them, young and old, male and female, spring to vivid life in Bower's versatile voice. Narrative passages and dialogue elicit tears and laughter by turn, without a minute of boredom in the 30 hour production." - Audiofile Magazine "Humphrey Bower is simply the greatest narrative voice I have ever heard, his passion for the story comes through with every character, his accents are wonderful, he makes these books so easy to listen to." - Audible Review "Another brilliant Bryce Courtenay and superbly narrated by Humphrey Bower. I enjoyed every minute! I can't wait to start the next one!" - Amazon reviewer On Media
