The Prussian Officer and Other Stories
Penguin Main Series 513. 1st Edition, published 1945.
His first published collection, these twelve stories were written between 1907 and 1914, during a crucial period of development for Lawrence from which he emerged a leading figure of the modernist movement.

Interweaving individual lives, their happiness, failures and defeats, with the prfound forces of nature, Lawrence has created stories of remarkable power and sensitivity.
Condition grading: Good Minus. Creases and small scuff and small black mark to front cover. Light creases and some marks to rear cover. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
