Return of the Native, The Written By : Thomas Hardy Narrator : Nadia May Published By : Blackstone Audio Inc Length : 14 hours Type : Classic Literature Price : $26.95 Buy Now! Set in Egdon Heath, a wild tract of country in the south-west of England, this is a masterpiece of dramatic tension. Clym Yeobright, a diamond merchant in Paris, returns to his home in Egdon where he falls passionately in love with the sensuous, free-spirited Eustacia Vye. She, while in a brief state of infatuation, marries him, hoping he will take her away to the more exciting life in Paris. But Eustacia's dreams of escape are not to be realized. Clym Yeobright, the returning native, can not bring her salvation. In The Returrn of the Native there is a strong conflict between nature or fate, represented by Egdon Heath, and human nature, represented by Hardy's true-to-life characters. This is a novel which perfectly epitomizes Thomas Hardy's unique and melancholy genius.
