The Return of the Native

Passionate Eustacia Eye details her life amid the dreary envirous of Egdon Heath and spies her escape when Clym Yeobright comes home form paris for a visit. Hardy’s timeless tale of romantic misalliance, required reading in many schools, pits idealism against realism with tragic results, and embodies the author’s view of character as fate. Unbridged republication of the original (1878) text.
