For the Term of His Natural Life
Clarke, Marcus; illustrated by Douglas Albion
Published by Reader's Digest (1987), Sydney, 1987

"This 1987 Reader's Digest edition of Marcus Clarke's For the Term of His Natural Life presents one of Australia's most important and haunting colonial novels, enhanced with illustrations by Douglas Albion. Clarke's narrative follows the tragic fate of Rufus Dawes, a young man wrongfully convicted and transported to Van Diemen's Land, where he endures the brutality of the penal system, the savagery of Norfolk Island, and the psychological burden of injustice. Richly atmospheric and meticulously researched, the novel remains a powerful indictment of convict-era cruelty and a cornerstone of Australian literary heritage.

Douglas Albion's illustrations add visual depth to Clarke's dramatic landscapes and characters, complementing the text with evocative scenes of early Australian settlement, maritime hardship, and the harsh realities of penal life. Produced in Sydney by Reader's Digest in 1987, this edition offers an accessible and handsomely presented version of the classic, ideal for readers of Australian colonial history, collectors of illustrated literature, and admirers of landmark works in the nation's literary canon."
