Author Marcus Clarke - Paperback - 534 pages - Fiction Marcus Clarke's famous historical novel 'For the Term of His Natural Life' is more than one of Australia's greatest and most widely read classics. It's a horrifying, compelling story of suffering and survival under desparate conditions. Drawings its material from the appalling but authentic annals of Tasmania's haunted past, it tells of a man who has been born to wealth and comfort yet is transported to the convict island on a murder charge of which he is innocent - and against which he cannot defend himself without betraying his own mother. Amid searing, unforgettable descritions of his sufferings at Port Arthur, Macquarie Harbour and the infamous Norfolk Island, the tale unfolds a disturbing and brutal panorama of people and events. 'For the Term of His Natural Life' has long been called one of the masterpieces of Australia's first century. Click on the "Detail" button near the price for more information. Price:
