The Prussian Officer and Other Stories.( is a collection stories )

The collection of short stories I read in "The Prussian Officer and Other Stories" were a good selection of what life was like in Nottingham, where the author was born. D.H. Lawrence's pieces like "Odour of the Chrysanthemums" and "The Daughters of the Vicar" reflect on his childhood and the city he lived in. The reader has that feeling that reminds them of their town and the people that lived there. The people in his stories have some influence on what their lives were like. I read some of the pieces in class and actually found myself immersed into them. The use of dialogue, details of the countryside, and the tensions between class, gender, and sexuality. Reading these pieces I grew to appreciate literature and its structure.

The Prussian Officer is a well-written moving piece based on the emotional effects of conforming to military discipline. Attention to detail is superb. Other stories in this collection are of the same quality. I recommend this be added to your todo list.

The Prussian Officer is one of the most moving and striking stories I have ever read. The imagery and emotion that the reader expiriences will not soon be forgotten.
