"I turned around, and there was Jack, looking exactly as he did when he had disappeared fifteen years earlier." What if, among us, there were those rare few who can travel through portals of time, across years, decades, centuries even, as easily as a butterfly might flutter from one flower to the next? What if we could share their amazing journeys and, just by holding their hand, voyage deep into the past or far away into the future, from one incredible adventure to the next? Hold tight, my fellow travellers through time, Across My Dreams With Nets of Wonder turns the reader into the explorer of these what ifs... as you open this book, prepare to embark on a journey spanning 300 years.

This book is a reproduction of John Howard's weekly columns published in the national broadsheet, The Australian in 1989. His articles are a time capsule of evolving national and world events as the sun set on the 1980s. Presenting readers with a variety of topical issues, Howard's columns are laced with political insights and anecdotes revealing his craft for engaging commentary. Offering readers a window into his beliefs and drive for political reform, Howard delves into economic uncertainty caused by high interest rates, increasing national debt, and rising unemployment as well as assessments on unfolding events in Eastern Europe, apartheid in South Africa, unrest in China, and the rise of Japan. We are also reminded of his passion for sport, namely cricket and his admiration for Australian Test Cricket captain, Allan Border. Howard moves seamlessly across economic, political and social affairs with enthusiasm and composure offering policy prescriptions that he as 'Lazarus with a triple bypass' would later adopt in shaping the ascent to power on 2 March 1996.John Howard's wilderness years are a study in resilience, determination and ambition. This book is a fascinating time-tunnel into the past as a once and future leader articulates the ideas, values and policies that were to be the foundation of his Lazarus-like return and becoming Australia's second-longest serving Prime Minister. -Troy BramstonNaturally, I have re-read all the pieces I composed more than 30 years ago.

"I found the white cities just as they were in my dreams." - Joseph RothTransylvania: the country beyond the forest and land of the seven fortress towns. In The Silver Voices we encounter the previously unknown eighth town: Sternbergstadt. Now known as Steaua de Munte, it's one of those places where past and present continually meet, with no-one being entirely sure which has the upper hand. In Steaua de Munte history can never be said to be dead and buried; it plays too many tricks on the present and future for that.
