Just a Woman and Other Stories (Paperback)

A collection of short stories by the author of Lady Chatterley's Lover. Exclusive to BestBolso, this anthology introduces contemporary readers to the world of D.H. Lawrence. Considered an erotic author in his time, he wrote about marriages, adulteries, separations, flirtations, and courtships, always emphasizing the sexual tension in each of these relationships. In his view, desire guided everyone's lives, but social and economic barriers would always be there to hinder them, especially in a hierarchical society like Britain, which, even in the 20th century, still cultivated rigid Victorian morality. His work caused controversy, and some of his books were even censored. A century later, his themes remain relevant and thought-provoking. This paperback edition brings together the following texts: "Just a Woman"; "The Shadow in the Rose Garden"; "Mrs. Radford's Turn"; "The Union Grant"; "Second Place"; "The Shadows of Spring"; and "The Old Adam." The book's titular short story, "Just a Woman," tells the story of two women, March and Banford, who live on a secluded farm, tormented by a fox that roams the property. Their routine changes completely when a young soldier arrives at the ranch and awakens March's burning desire.
