Summary "Kaksi pakolaista: Austraalialainen kertomus" by Friedrich Gerstäcker is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the dramatic lives of fugitive characters in Australia, specifically focusing on Mac Donald, a man wrongfully accused of murder, and his dangerous escapades as he tries to evade capture. The book highlights themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the harsh reality of life in the Australian wilderness. The opening of the narrative introduces us to the Powell family living by the Murray River, who are in distress due to the sudden capture of Mac Donald by the local police, led by Lieutenant Walker. The family feels indebted to Mac Donald for saving their daughter from an attack, and tensions rise as various characters, including the new stationmaster Toby and the crafty fugitive John, navigate the threatening environment filled with danger and deception. As the story unfolds, we witness Mac Donald's cleverness and agility in evading police force and the complexities of his relationship with those around him, setting the stage for a tale of adventure, conflict, and survival in a harsh land.
