A haunting tale of injustice, endurance, and redemption set against the brutal backdrop of Australia’s convict era. Wrongly accused of a crime he did not commit, young aristocrat Rufus Dawes is sentenced to transportation “for the term of his natural life.” Torn from his home in England and cast into the harsh penal colonies of Van Diemen’s Land, Dawes faces cruelty, betrayal, and unimaginable hardship. Yet amid the darkness, glimmers of courage and humanity persist — in the strength of the human spirit and the possibility of love and forgiveness. First published in the 1870s, Marcus Clarke’s masterpiece is one of Australia’s greatest works of literature: a powerful indictment of the convict system and an unforgettable portrait of suffering and survival. Dramatic, moving, and deeply humane, For the Term of His Natural Life remains a cornerstone of colonial fiction — a story that continues to resonate with readers today.
