Biografía del autor:
Wrongfully convicted, a young aristocrat is sent to the penal colony of Van Diemen’s Land. There he is forced to endure tremendous suffering, from the cruelty of those in power to the harsh untamed country. Dawes remains determined to clear his name, no matter the trials that come his way.
Born in 1846, Marcus Clarke left London for Australia aged 17. As a writer, commissioned to pen a serial about convict life, he produced this masterwork. Republished as a novel in 1874, his epic tale of crime and punishment was distributed in Britain, USA, Germany and elsewhere. He died aged 35.
