dbo:abstract
  • Picnic en Hanging Rock —originalmente en inglés: Picnic at Hanging Rock— es una novela de ficción histórica australiana escrita por Joan Lindsay. Situada en el año 1900, cuenta la historia de un grupo de alumnas en un internado escolar que desaparecen inexplicablemente en ("Roca Colgante", en español) durante un pícnic el día de San Valentín. También explora los efectos que las desapariciones generan en la comunidad escolar y local. La novela fue primero publicada en 1967 en Australia por Cheshire Publishing y reeditada por Penguin Books en 1975. Es ampliamente considerada por críticos como una de las novelas australianas más importantes. Su final irresuelto ha atraído al público, la crítica y el análisis erudito, y historia se ha incorporado al folclore nacional de Australia. Lindsay dijo haber escrito la novela en poco más de dos semanas en su casa Mulberry Hill en Baxter, en la península de Mornington, en Victoria, Australia, luego de una serie de sueños acerca de los acontecimientos. Un capítulo final no publicado originalmente con la novela fue publicado póstumamente como un libro independiente en 1987, titulado The Secret of Hanging Rock e incluía un comentario crítico y una interpretación de los hechos de la novela. En 1980 se publicó otro libro titulado The Murders at Hanging Rock proponiendo diversas interpretaciones. La novela ha sido adaptada a diferentes formatos, entre ellos una aclamada película del director Peter Weir en el año 1975. (es)

  • Utflykt till Hanging Rock, original Picnic at Hanging Rock, är en australisk roman av Joan Lindsay (1896-1984), utgiven 1967, och filmatiserad av Peter Weir 1975, med den svenska titeln Utflykt i det okända. Såväl romanen som filmen har uppnått närmast kultstatus och är omdebatterade vad gäller handlingen. Även om Joan Lindsays roman i sig måste betecknas som fiktiv, hävdade författaren bestämt att den var baserad på och inspirerad av en verklig händelse vid Hanging Rock. Någon konkret dokumentation av en sådan incident har dock ännu inte påträffats. (sv)

  • Did I think the story was true? We did talk about this. But the truth for Joan was different to the rest of us. She was never straightforward about it. I think I decided in the end that it was a great work of the imagination. I see it as a book of place; a painterly book that captures the atmosphere of the Australian bush. (en)
