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, cannot 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 that perfectly epitomizes Thomas Hardy's unique and melancholy genius. 650 $a Adultery $x Fiction. 650 $a Audiobooks. 650 $a Country life $x Fiction. 650 $a Didactic fiction. 650 $a Love stories. 650 $a Married people $x Fiction. 650 $a Wessex (England) $x Fiction. 700 $a May, Nadia. 856 $u http://wilbor.lib.overdrive.com/ContentDetails.htm?ID=2E28665B-5A26-43DF-AC05-7971BF1179D4 $3 URL 941 $a 2 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20111119011047.0 952 $l XBPE737 $d 20101023011152.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=111723D4DE6B11DF9C83A1F56AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
