D. H. Lawrence

The Fox, The Captain's Doll, The Ladybird (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The acclaimed author of Sons and Lovers explores the effects of war on humanity in three novellas. Written between November 1920 and December 1921, these novellas were enthusiastically received by D. H. Lawrence's readers. Including the original ending of The Fox, the Cambridge edition adds new depth to the legacy of Lawrence's story of a disruptive fox in a troublesome time. A visit to Austria in 1920 inspired the characters and settings of The Captain's Doll, diving into a storied relationship between a Scottish soldier and a German countess in occupied Germany. Also featuring the original unedited edition of The Ladybird, a heartbreaking tale of a wounded soldier and the English nurse who tended his wounds, this is a complete collection of three of Lawrence's brilliantly crafted war stories about human emotions and relationships.

Autorenporträt

Born in England on September 11, 1885, D. H. Lawrence is regarded as one of the most influential writers of the twentieth century. Lawrence published many novels and poetry volumes during his lifetime, including Sons and Lovers and Women in Love, but is best known for his infamous novel Lady Chatterley's Lover. The graphic and highly sexual novel was published in Italy in 1928, but was banned in the United States until 1959, and banned in England until 1960. Garnering fame for his novels and short stories early into his career-especially his collections The Fox, The Captain's Doll, and The Ladybird and The Prussian Officer and Other Stories-Lawrence later received acclaim for his personal letters and poetry, in which he detailed a range of emotions, from exhilaration to depression to prophetic brooding. He died in France in 1930.
