Thomas Keneally

Author

Thomas Keneally is an Australian novelist who won the Booker Prize for Schindler's Ark, which was adapted by Steven Spielberg into the film Schindler's List. Born in 1935, he is one of Australia's most important and prolific writers. A Commonwealth of Thieves is his history of the founding of Australia — the story of the First Fleet and... the convicts, soldiers, and Indigenous Australians whose lives were transformed by the arrival of British colonists in 1788. His audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers powerful history and fiction from a Booker Prize-winning Australian master — writing that illuminates some of the defining stories of the modern world.
