Kangaroo - D.H. Lawrence - Bog

After the Great War, Richard Lovat Somers, a writer, and Harriet, his wife, leave disillusioned Europe for Australia. Almost immediately, Somers comes into the orbit of the charismatic ''Kangaroo'', who leads a shadowy political movement in Sydney. With its astonishing descriptions of the bush ''biding its time with a terrible ageless watchfulness'', and its free-form narrative, Kangaroo captivates and provokes. First published in 1923, D. H. Lawrence''s semi-autobiographical novel is among the most significant works in Australian literature.
