About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Prussian Officer and Other Stories, by D. H. Lawrence. Read by Cathy Barratt. The collection of short stories - of which The Prussian Officer is one - was Lawrence’s first such book. A German officer and his orderly are the focus of the piece and, while socially the superior of his orderly, the officer demonstrates his is the distinctly baser character.
