![]() ![]() It should/could be very rewarding in allowing some of the citizens in this continental landmass that is the nation of Australia to maybe have more understanding of the plight of the refugee as to reasons to leave the brutality of a past life and with that how they deal with that past, this present and their future. With that mea culpa on my inability to write deeper thoughts, I can communicate to anyone that peruses my occasional scribblings that I have found this is an exceptional read indeed. Read up on what that question means and read the premise of the book as I am not that capable of explaining in a particularly articulate manner. The title is a Zen koan philosophical question based on what………? It is over a week since I have finished and I am still thinking about this at times very sad tale and the title that goes with it. The Sound of One Hand Clapping is about the barbarism of an old world left behind, about the harshness of a new country, and the destiny of those in a land beyond hope who seek to redeem themselves through love. As the shadows of the past begin to intrude ever more forcefully into the present, Sonja's empty life and her father's living death are to change forever. Thirty-five years later, Sonja returns to Tasmania and a father haunted by memories of the European war and other, more recent horrors. One night, Bojan's wife walked off into a blizzard, never to return - leaving Bojan to drink too much to quiet his ghosts, and to care for his three-year-old daughter Sonja alone. It was 1954, in a construction camp for a hydroelectric dam in the remote Tasmanian highlands, where Bojan Buloh had brought his family to start a new life away from Slovenia, the privations of war, and refugee settlements. It is a virtuoso performance from an Australian who is emerging as one of our most talented new storytellers. Combining this with interesting visuals and an addictive gameplay makes One Hand Clapping a truly unique and fun game to play.A sweeping novel of world war, migration, and the search for new beginnings in a new land, The Sound of One Hand Clapping was both critically acclaimed and a best-seller in Australia. What makes this game so unique is the music, the way it interjects with the gameplay, and the way it makes you think along the lines of a puzzle or adventure story. Playing in the Android version is very simple - just tap on the screen to start the musical landscape. In the case of One Hand Clapping, the player can use four of their hands to clap the rhythm and beat of the musical landscape. In the full version, players are asked not to guess the number of remaining lives before they start the game the other versions let you know how much time you have left and what number of moves you'll make in each level. Apart from that, the full version of One Hand Clapping has a very unique avatar and even has four unlockable characters (all of them girls). The Android version also has one major difference - it's free! If you have an account with Google, you can simply download the Android version from the Google play app and play the game from there. Like Stick of Cards, One Hand Clapping has several levels - the earlier ones are quite easy but, later ones are more advanced and puzzling as well. The two hands have different abilities which, when used together, let the player earns points. One Hand Clapping resembles Stick of Cards but instead of using ordinary playing cards, it uses two "artificial" hands. It's been featured in several blog posts and news articles because it draws some serious attention from gamers who don't usually go for this genre. One Hand Clapping is an addictive puzzle game that's been getting a lot of buzz lately.
