“For the Term of His Natural Life is the grim and tragic story of life in an Australian penal colony. It is a book which over the decades has come to be recognised as a masterpiece and which has taken its rightful place as a classic of world-wide fame.
It is a story of inhumanity and suffering – of whips, chains, and torture racks. No attempt is made to soften the truth of the depths of degradation to which men sank in those harsh, dark, early days. One convict is mercilessly flogged to death; another is racked on the torture stretcher; others are driven insane and to cannibalism.”
