Book review of "The Phoenix"

The Phoenix was written by Silvia Townsend Warner in 1940 after the 2nd World War in England
The story is about a phoenix that is used as a form of earning money after it was found in the jungle of Arabia. He was brought to England, and it was turned into a kind of atraction. It was tortured and manipulated to do what Mr. Poldero wanted.
The plot of the story starts when the man who has locked the bird (Mr.Poldero), wants the phoenix to die so it would burn itself. He was going to take advantage of this to earn a lot of money, so he starts looking for desesperate actions so that the bird feels older so he wouldnt have more desire to live.
To sum up, it is the story of a phoenix that is trapped in London as an attraction. The story represents the conflict between human beings and nature. I would definetly suggest to read this story.
