Delve into the mysteries of the human mind in this spellbinding tale from D.H. Lawrence, the masterful author responsible for beloved novels such as Sons and Lovers and Women in Love. Leaving behind the sensual fare for which he is best known, Lawrence focuses in this story on the conflict that emerges between an aristocratic officer and his subordinate. The Prussian Officer packs the psychodrama and complexity of Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment into a concise and compelling tale.
