Synopsis

‘Love Among the Haystacks’ was written by D H Lawrence in 1912. It was the eighteenth of his sixty-seven short stories, all of which will be published individually in audiobook format by the Blackthorn Press. In this story, Lawrence returns to the scenes of his young manhood with farming scenes and life he experienced when courting Jessie Chambers at Haggs Farm in Nottinghamshire. Two brothers find love in two different women, both out of the ordinary for farm lads - one a German nanny, the other the wife of a tramp who begs food from the farmers. Both men are redeemed from their rivalry for each other and their suppressed sexuality by the first experiences of love on the same night.

I bought this because on a trip to Hay-On-Wye, my wife picked up a poster of 'The Man Who Died' original cover in a sale and it's been on our house wall for the last year. 'The Man Who Died' is something I've never read, so I bought this collection of short stories to see if I liked the book that ha......more

I much prefer Wimaladasa Samarasinha's translation (Aadarabara Aaryawa) over this one. This book has the same D H Lawrence short stories Aadarabara Aryawa had and one more. The language was bit too heavy hence I felt like it has failed to capture the beauty of Larunace's writing style. Even though s......more
