In this novel, Hardy's tragic vision is powerfully and narrowly focussed on Egdon Heath and the men and women who live on it.  Set against the backdrop of the Heath and the impersonal and eternal forces it represents, the fates of Eustacia Vye, Diggory Venn, Clym Yeobright - the returning 'native' - and others are inexorably played out.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48128390267038,"sku":"UBD-9780140435184","price":24.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780140435184.jpg?v=1786540041","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780140435184","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
