Bert The Life and Times of A. L. Lloyd

Language: English | 2012 | ISBN: 0745332528 | 456 pages | PDF | 5,45 MB
Folk singer and folk music collector, writer, painter, journalist, art critic, whalerman, sheep station roustabout, Marxist, and much more - this is the story of A. L. (Bert) Lloyd's extraordinary life.

Bert Lloydis more than an account of A.L. Lloyd's key part in the folk music revival of the 1950s and '60s. Dave Arthur documents how Lloyd became a member of the Communist Party, forceful antifascist, trade unionist, and an important part of left-wing culture from the early thirties to his death in 1982. Following his return from Australia as a 21 year-old, self-educated agricultural laborer, he was at the heart of the most important left-wing movements and highly respected for his knowledge in various fields.

Dave Arthur recounts the life of a creative, passionate, and life-loving Marxist, and in so doing, provides a social history of a turbulent twentieth century.

Extract RAR5 archives

The majority of unpackers do not support the new RAR5 format. You will receive an error message when you try to open it, and there is usually no way to integrate it manually into the application to add support for it.

So, the only feasible option right now is to install Winrar 5.x on your system if you want to use a graphical user interface. Note that this is a trial version, and while it won't stop working after the trial runs out, it will nag you to upgrade the software.
