Description
The Return Of The Native • Thomas Brady #4176 Leather Illustrated Book 1970 London is a limited edition book with a numbered copy. This book is bound in leather and illustrated by Peter Whiteman. A classic and collectible. The novel is set on Egdon Heath, a fictional barren moor in Wessex in southwestern England. The native of the title is Clym Yeobright, who has returned to the area to become a schoolmaster after a successful but, in his opinion, shallow career as a jeweler in Paris. He and his cousin Thomasin exemplify the traditional way of life, while Thomasin’s husband, Damon Wildeve, and Clym’s wife, Eustacia Vye, long for the excitement of city life. Disappointed that Clym is content to remain on the heath, Eustacia, willful and passionate, rekindles her affair with the reckless Damon. After a series of coincidences, Eustacia comes to believe that she is responsible for the death of Clym’s mother. Convinced that fate has doomed her to cause others pain, Eustacia flees and is drowned (by accident or intent). Damon drowns trying to save her. In a later edition, to please his readers, Hardy made additions to his novel. Thomasin marries Diggory Venn, a humble longtime suitor, and Clym becomes an itinerant preacher.
