The Fox - Hardcover

by D. H. Lawrence (Author)

The Fox is a novella written by the famous British author D. H. Lawrence. Set in rural England during World War I, the story revolves around two women, Banford and March, who live together on a farm. Banford is a strong and practical woman, while March is more fragile and emotional. The two women's lives are disrupted when a young soldier named Henry Grenfel arrives at their farm seeking refuge. Banford takes him in and begins to develop feelings for him, while March becomes jealous and resentful. As the story progresses, the relationships between the three characters become increasingly complex, leading to a dramatic and tragic conclusion. The Fox explores themes of love, jealousy, gender roles, and the impact of war on individuals and society. Lawrence's writing is characterized by his vivid descriptions of the English countryside and his nuanced portrayal of human emotions. The Fox is considered a classic of 20th-century literature and remains a popular and influential work today.She took her gun again and went to look for the fox. For he had lifted his eyes upon her, and his knowing look seemed to have entered her brain. She did not so much think of him: she was possessed by him. She saw his dark, shrewd, unabashed eye looking into her, knowing her. She felt him invisibly master her spirit. She knew the way he lowered his chin as he looked up, she knew his muzzle, the golden brown, and the greyish white. And again she saw him glance over his shoulder at her, half inviting, half contemptuous and cunning.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
