Aaron Sisson lives a humble life in the English Midlands. He works
as a union official for the coal mines, but his real passion is
music. As an amateur, but very talented flautist, Aaron dreams of a
big career as a beloved musician. Though, with his small community
and unglamorous job at the coal mine, this dream seems
unattainable. Trapped in an unhappy marriage, and unsatisfied at
work, Aaron becomes more and more frustrated with his life.
Finally, when he feels that he cannot take it any longer, Aaron
abandons his two kids and wife to run away to Italy. As he begins
his journey Aaron feels hopeful for the first time in a long time.
However, the journey proves to be more trouble than Aaron expected.
When he falls ill, he befriends Rawdon Lilly, a cynical writer.
After Rawdon nurses Aaron through his sickness, Aaron is free to
continue on to Florence. Upon entering a social circle of
intellectuals and artists, he experiences a higher level of
conversation-discussions about politics, leadership, and
expression. Feeling liberated, Aaron has an affair with an
aristocratic woman, excited at all the new pleasures he is
experiencing. Of course, it comes at a cost. In a city struggling
in the aftermath of a war that wiped out generations, talks of
revolution and change echo in the streets, and Aaron's eyes are
opened to social and political problems he had never considered.
With complicated characters and beautifully written prose, Aaron's
Rod by the prolific author, D.H Lawrence, is a unique perspective
on how World War affected the individual. Looking beyond just the
death toll of the war, Aaron's Rod examines those who were left
behind, the political turmoil that followed, and the emotional
plight of the individual. With allusions to the bible and
complicated questions on both the battle and partnership between
art and intellect, Aaron's Rod poses thought-provoking questions
about all levels of Western society. This edition of Aaron's Rod by
D.H Lawrence is now presented in an easy-to-read font and features
a unique and eye-catching new cover design. With these
accommodations, Aaron's Rod is restored to its original genius
while being updated to modern standards.
