Publisher Description

The Voyage is an extraordinary novel from the winner of the Commonwealth Writers Prize and the Miles Franklin Literary Award. 


Frank Delage, piano manufacturer from Sydney, travels to Vienna, a city immersed in music, to present the Delage concert grand. He hopes to impress with its technical precision, its improvement on the old pianos of Europe. 


How could he not know his piano is all wrong for Vienna? Perhaps he should have tried Berlin. 


But a chance meeting with Amalia von Schalla brings new possibilities for Delage—connections, her daughter Elisabeth, and an avant garde composer. Now travelling home, on a container ship, with Elisabeth, the real story is about to begin. 



The Voyage is a masterly novel by a great writer at the peak of his powers. 



Murray Bail was born in Adelaide in 1941. He has won numerous awards, including the Commonwealth Writers Prize and the Miles Franklin Literary Award for Eucalyptus. His most recent novel, The Pages, was published in 2008 to great acclaim.

‘Murray Bail is one of the most remarkable of the generation of Australian fiction writers that includes Peter Carey and came to first maturity 25 or so years ago.’ Age 


‘There’s a lightness to Bail’s writing—a gentle stealth in its revelations—that slowly but surely brings the reader alive…One of Australia’s most original and imaginative writers.’ Canberra Times
