For the Term of His Natural Life (1874) is a novel by Marcus Clarke inspired by a journey taken by the author to the penal colony of Port Arthur, Tasmania. The novel was originally serialized in The Australian Journal between 1870 and 1872. For its depictions of the brutality and inhumanity of Australia's penal colonies, the novel has been recognized as a powerful realist novel and one of the first works of Tasmanian Gothic literature. Downloadable ebook editions of For the Term of His Natural Life by Marcus Clark are available to borrow at Hoopladigital.com with your Library card.

The Classic Literature Book Club focuses on literature that has withstood the test of time and continues to be relevant. If you always wanted to read, and discuss such books, the Classic Literature Book Club might be the book club for you. The club meets on the third Saturday of the month from 10:15 until noon.
