Lawrence","description":"\u003cp\u003eMeanwhile he wandered round in the Australian spring. Already he loved it. He loved the country he had railed at so loudly a few months ago. While he cared he had to rail at it. But the care once broken inside him, it had a deep mystery for him, and a dusky, far-off call that he knew would go on calling for long ages before it got any adequate response, in human beings. From far off, from down long, fern-dark avenues, there seemed to be the voice of Australia, calling low.  When D.H. Lawrence and his wife, Frieda, came to Australia in May 1922, it was to find the spirit of the place. He wrote in a letter, Don't know what we will do in Australia, don't care. The world of idea may be all alike, but the world of physical feeling is very different -- one suffers getting adjusted -- but that is part of the adventure. And part of the adventure was Wyewurk, the hosue at Thirroul on the coast outside Sydney, where he wrote Kangaroo.  It is the story of Richard and Harriett Somers, escaped from war-torn Europe into the brooding landscape of Australia, where the apparent freedom of the white inhabitants is soon revealed as irresponsible and, worse, abusive.  This edition of Lawrence's corrected version of Kangaroo is introduced by Raymond Southall, and illustrated with drawings from Garry Shead's Kangaroo series. Sydney artist Garry Shead won the Archibald Prize in 1994.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41844402159690,"sku":"3759u","price":10.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/9101\/8826\/files\/3759u_6970b04a-9110-4919-a54f-0d579eebea21.jpg?v=1765655162","url":"https:\/\/www.bookexpress.nz\/products\/kangaroo-the-corrected-edition-by-dh-lawrence-3759u","provider":"Book Express","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
