Description All tragedy deals with fatal mistakes, the mistakes people make when they overbid their hands. And it has seemed to me for a long time, that New Zealand - both in its foundations and its short history – is a remarkable instance of mankind's attempt everywhere in our world, to overbid its hand again the fates that decree work, suffering and death to be the conditions on which life is to be enjoyed.
