Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

D. H. Lawrence's "Aaron's Rod" epitomizes the author's exploration of individuality, masculinity, and the struggle against societal conventions. This novel, crafted in the early 1920s, employs a richly symbolic and lyrical prose style that mirrors Lawrence's intrinsic connection to modernist themes. The narrative follows Aaron Sisson, a disillusioned musician who embarks on a journey of self-discovery across post-war England, seeking personal fulfillment while grappling with the constraining expectations of the era. Lawrence's acute observations of human relationships and his philosophical underpinnings compel readers to ponder the complexities of modern life, infusing the work with an emotional depth that enhances its thematic resonance. D. H. Lawrence, a significant figure in early 20th-century literature, was influenced by his own tumultuous experiences with love, loss, and cultural tensions. Raised in a mining community, Lawrence's early exposure to class struggles and the industrial age deeply informed his literary voice. His travels across Europe and intimate connections with diverse thinkers enriched his understanding of human nature, ultimately shaping the narrative of "Aaron's Rod" as a reflection of his pursuit of spiritual and artistic authenticity. Readers seeking a profound exploration of the human condition and the quest for personal identity will find "Aaron's Rod" a compelling and thought-provoking addition to their literary repertoire. Lawrence's complex characterizations and evocative prose breathe life into the struggles of its protagonist, making the text not only an engaging read but also a profound commentary on the essence of freedom and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world.

The Baby Catcher Gate

Wendy Jo Cerna

The muggy silence that hung outside my bedroom window that August night in 1982 was pierced by the telephone ringing. A baby call. My mother was a baby-catcher (a mid-wife) and whenever the call came, she went. Too young to stay at home by myself, I went with her although I wanted nothing to do with the business of labor and delivery. I planned to draw or sleep as Mother worked. But on that night, as storm clouds burst overhead knocking power out for miles around, nothing went as planned. “Pearl, I need you. Now,” Mother called me to the birthing bedside where she carefully placed a tiny baby in my arms. “Wrap him nice and tight and hold him,” she said urgently. “But Mother,” I protested, “he’s not…I can’t…”“Pray Pearl. Just pray,” was all she said.I settled into a chair and stared into his perfect little face. I was captivated. The storm outside and the room around me faded away. All of a sudden, I felt myself falling, tilting, slipping sideways. Unable to stop, my only thought was, “Hold on to the baby. Hold on…”What happens next is astonishing. Pearl’s journey into the heavenly realm and back again not only transforms her life but that of her family, her friends and her entire town. As you read this incredible tale, you will discover the beautiful consequences of getting a glimpse into eternity. And maybe, just maybe, your life will be transformed as well as you discover The Baby Catcher Gate.
