Features: It is truly wonderful to publish this biography of "Not Me, It Was the Wind" alongside D.H. Lawrence's selected essays "Under the Shadow of Civilization"! This allows readers to read the two books together and gain a clear and profound understanding of Lawrence himself and his words. In his essays, Lawrence repeatedly expresses his desire to convey the vitality of life, the freedom of the soul and instincts, the importance of being honest to one's true nature, men being loyal to their male essence, women being loyal to their female essence, and the intrinsic and natural relationships that occur between men and women, people and people, and people and their environment. Otherwise, it is a betrayal of life. The content of his essays is so healthy, so bright, so pure, and so profound, filled with imagination and creativity, and imbued with sincere love and passion. So, what about his life and his living? How did he fall in love with a woman who had "sex in her head," how did they elope, how did they travel together across the lands of Europe, America, Australia, and Asia, living by the sea, in the mountains, on plateaus, by lakes, on pastures, and in cities? How did he love his wife and genuinely interact with his family and friends, forming sincere and natural relationships with people and environments from all over the world? How did he powerfully write and paint with a pure heart, keen perception, and a strong desire for expression, and what state of life was he in? Frieda, Lawrence's wife, has truly recorded his life and their love in this biography "Not Me, It Was the Wind."
