Features: Lawrence was destined to wander the world, but he carried with him his homeland, his Nottingham mining village, and the wounds and complexes of his soul. In his essays "Pang of Homecoming" and "Notes from a Nottingham Mining Village," this sentiment is vividly expressed, moving readers deeply. Four years after leaving England, as the ship approached Plymouth Bay, Lawrence saw the faint light of the lighthouse. At this moment, how did the "man whose soul was dead" feel? "I will not pretend my heart is dead. No, it is bursting within me. 'This is mine, my own homeland!' Heaven, what is behind that light!' He was almost forced out of England, yet he was forever tied to his homeland. And once he set foot on his homeland, he couldn’t help but utter a series of ironic voices. But you will feel the deep love behind his sharp words, his love so profound, his words so harsh. He is not a cheap 'patriot,' don’t try to cover it up. He had nothing to ask for from England, only a deep, searing love—just because it was his homeland. Heaven knows what kind of pain and suffering that was. The French and Italian texts in this book were translated into English by Dr. Lisa Carducci, a French and Italian expert from China Central Television, and then translated into Chinese by the translator; Mr. Michael Harrold, an English expert from China Central Television, clarified some difficulties in some of the articles.
