Description

Aaron's Rod is a novel written by D.H. Lawrence, first published in 1922. The story follows the life of Aaron Sisson, a disillusioned musician who is struggling to find his place in the world. After a failed marriage and a stint in the army during World War I, Aaron travels to Italy in search of inspiration and a new direction in life. Along the way, he meets a variety of characters, including a group of Bohemians, a wealthy socialite, and a mysterious woman named Lilly. As Aaron navigates his way through the complexities of love, art, and society, he begins to question his own beliefs and values. Lawrence's vivid descriptions of Italy and its people, as well as his exploration of the themes of identity and self-discovery, make Aaron's Rod a compelling and thought-provoking read.Yet he struggled under it this morning as under the lid of a tomb. The terrible sudden weight of inertia! He knew the tray stood ready by the bed: he knew the automobile would be at the door at eight o'clock, for Lady Franks had said so, and he half divined that the servant had also said so: yet there he lay, in a kind of paralysis in this bed. He seemed for the moment to have lost his will. Why go forward into more nothingness, away from all that he knew, all he was accustomed to and all he belonged to?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
