The \"native\" returned from Paris is Clym Yeobright, whose marriage to Eustacia Vye provides little comfort to either as Eustacia dreams of escape from the heath while Clym has ambitions to become a schoolmaster. This is a tale of doomed love, passion, alienation, and melancholy as Hardy brilliantly explores that theme so familiar throughout his fiction the role of chance in determining the course of a life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-processed=\"true\" data-wiz-uids=\"hMyTlc_1l,hMyTlc_1m\" class=\"uJ19be notranslate\"\u003e\u003cspan data-processed=\"true\" data-wiz-attrbind=\"class=hMyTlc_1k\/TKHnVd\" data-animation-atomic=\"\" class=\"vKEkVd\"\u003ePaperback - 1995\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e400 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFree UK Shipping 🚚\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Am","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57165551468931,"sku":null,"price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/4834\/4679\/files\/81m6UE-Q4kL._SL1500.jpg?v=1770231250","url":"https:\/\/thejaneaustenshop.co.uk\/products\/the-return-of-the-native-wordsworth-classics","provider":" thejaneaustenshop.co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
