Description

For the Term of His Natural Life. (Hard Cover) by Marcus Clarke. 'Murder, shipwreck, brutal tortures, cannibalism amongst escaping convicts . . . Marcus Clarke's famous novel brings to life all the horror and suffering of the settlement at Port Arthur and the system under which countless convicts disappeared without trace. In 1869, Marcus Clarke visited Tasmania to write an account of convict times. The result was For the Term of His Natural Life, in which much of the detail of the penal system was undoubtedly based on actual records - skillfully dramatised and woven into the story of Rufus Dawe's terrible ordeal. Clarke's masterpiece is one of the outstanding novels of early Australia. Its powers to shock and hold the reader are as real today as they were when it first appeared one hundred plus years ago.' The dust jacket has light general wear with some light sun fade and small tape repairs but the book remains tight and bright.
