Aaron's Rod

Aaron's Rod is a novel by D. H. Lawrence, started in 1917 and published in 1922.

Aaron’s Rod is a satirical work that presents a bitter view of humanity and of the relationship between men and women. Aaron Sisson, a union official in an English mining town, leaves for Italy, deserting his wife and children to pursue politics and his original interest in music. Lawrence seems to foretell the decline of civilization after the first world war.
