Description
A fateful chain of events, a fantastic intertwining of destinies, adventures of the novel’s heroes aboard a ship and on an island that turns out to be uninhabited, a thirst for wealth, treachery, and boundless love, the striking imagery typical of “pirate” novels—these all make the reader think that everything read is nothing but the author’s pure invention. And yet it is human experience—its depth and psychological weight—as well as the author’s own statement that “events and facts are truly monstrous and tragic, but my goal was to show them, because all of it really happened”—that brings us back to reality. Among the Australian novels of the 19th century, there is no more famous one than “Sentenced for Life” by Marcus Clarke. It survived dozens of editions and was among the few works of Australian literature that were presented to Russian readers even in pre-revolutionary times— in 1903. In 1983, it was filmed.
