Book description
Stories which confirm Lawrence’s reputation as one of this century’s most creative and controversial writers. Love Among the Haystacks is the tale of two brothers, the tensions between them and the emotional fulfilment each finds one summer night after the Nottingham harvest. In The Man Who Died a resurrected Christ loves a priestess of Isis. The Rocking-Horse Winner is an eery study of a child mentally crucified by his parents’ avarice. The concern for humanity pervading all these stories is proof that Man must never, like The Man Who Loved islands, isolate himself from his own kind.
