David Herbert Lawrence

    11 settembre 1885 – 2 marzo 1930

    David Lawrence crea narrazioni avvincenti per giovani lettori, profondamente ispirate dal suo background di ex educatore giovanile e attuale pastore di chiesa. Le sue storie esplorano spesso temi di fede e moralità, presentando ai lettori dilemmi avvincenti e domande sulla ricerca di significato. L'approccio di Lawrence è accessibile e stimolante, rendendo il suo lavoro una fonte di intrattenimento e riflessione. Egli intreccia abilmente profonde intuizioni in racconti emozionanti che risuonano con un pubblico più giovane.

    • In January 1921, D. H. Lawrence and his wife Frieda visited Sardinia. Although the trip lasted only nine days, Lawrence wrote an intriguing account of Sardinian life that not only evokes the place, people and local customs but is also deeply revealing about the writer himself.. "Remarkable for its metaphoric and symbolic descriptions, the book is transfused with the author's anger and joy. His prejudices and his political prophecies make Sea and Sardinia a unique and dynamic piece of travel writing.. "The Cambridge edition restores censored passages and corrects corrupt textual readings to reveal for the first time the book Lawrence himself called "A marvel of veracity.".

    • Segrete di castelli e case in rovina, cadaveri in putrefazione e persone sepolte vive… Utilizzando tutto l'armamentario gotico, Edgar Allan Poe scopre in realtà la disgregazione della psiche e rivela l'angoscia esistenziale. La paura si declina in vari gradi: da quello immediato, esteriore, all'ansia scaturita dall'incerto altalenare tra la vita e la morte, al terrore del sepolto vivo. Questi e molti altri aspetti si intrecciano nella produzione di Poe, narratore dell'assurdo e dell'orrore, precursore degli effetti surreali e geniale anticipatore della narrativa combinatoria: racconti brevi, e davvero ipnotici, che si impossessano dell'anima di chi li legge.

    • Il serpente piumato (in originale inglese The Plumed Serpent) è un romanzo di David Herbert Lawrence, pubblicato nel 1926. Lawrence cominciò a scriverlo quando era nel suo ranch nel Nuovo Messico nel 1924, assieme alla moglie Frieda e alla pittrice Dorothy Brett (1883-1977). Il titolo in lavorazione era Quetzalcoatl, corrispondente a un mito azteco. È ambientato durante la Rivoluzione messicana, quando un gruppo di turisti visita un combattimento di tori a Mexico City. Una di loro, Kate Leslie, si allontana disgustata e incontra Don Cipriano, generale messicano, quindi Don Ramón, un intellettuale amico del generale, che la coinvolgono in culti legati alla religione locale pre-cristiana. Edizione curata e tradotta da Walter Mauro.

    • Lawrence cominciò a scrivere "Il pavone bianco" a vent'anni, nel 1906, ma loconsegnò alle stampe solo nel 1911, dopo averne fatto almeno tre stesure.Questa sua prima opera non ebbe successo; ma Ford Madox Ford, che lo lesseprima della pubblicazione, disse a Lawrence: "Voi possedete quel che si dicegenio". La vicenda di Lettie e George, la donna cerebrale, volubile econtraddittoria, e il contadino semplice e rozzo che sarà portato alla rovinadal suo amore impossibile, si svolge nel quadro di una natura splendida, cheLawrence sa descrivere col lirismo del poeta e, insieme, con la concretezzadell'osservatore attento.

      Sharply observed and expertly crafted, D.H. Lawrence’s The Fox is a captivating work exploring the dual themes of power and supremacy in the aftermath of the First World War. Banford and March live and work together on their meager farm, surviving hardship only by sheer determination and dedicated labor. The farm is their world, a place of safety—that is, until a young soldier walks in and upsets the women’s delicate status quo. None could have predicted the effect his presence would have on their lives.

      The Virgin and the Gipsy was discovered in France after D. H. Lawrence's death in 1930. Immediately recognized as a masterpiece in which Lawrence had distilled and purified his ideas about sexuality and morality, The Virgin and the Gipsy has become a classic and is one of Lawrence's most electrifying short novels. Set in a small village in the English countryside, this is the story of a secluded, sensitive rector's daughter who yearns for meaning beyond the life to which she seems doomed. When she meets a handsome young gipsy whose life appears different from hers in every way, she is immediately smitten and yet still paralyzed by her own fear and social convention. Not until a natural catastrophe suddenly, miraculously sweeps away the world as she knew it does a new world of passion open for her. Lawrence's spirit is infused by all his tenderness, passion, and knowledge of the human soul.

    • Giudicato oltraggioso e scandaloso, processato, censurato, messo all'indice, proibito: questo l'itinerario della storia degli amori tra una nobildonna, Connie Chatterley, e il guardacaccia Mellors. Un libro che presenta una nuova fisiologia del rapporto tra uomo e donna, in base alla quale essi possono conoscersi nella loro essenza più vera, reale e spirituale solo attraverso un sesso vissuto come mistica comunione e fusione reciproca. Un romanzo che pone in primo piano la prevalenza dell'istinto sul comportamento dettato dalle regole sociali e dalla morale corrente.

    • Siegmund, violinista di mezza età e padre di quattro figli, si innamora di una sua giovane allieva, Helena, e fugge con lei per una vacanza segreta sull’isola di Wight. I due, però, fuori dal contesto metropolitano di Londra non riescono a trovare la pienezza dell’amore, né a isolarsi realmente dalle loro preoccupazioni cittadine. Invece di vivere in modo spontaneo il loro rapporto, si rifanno continuamente ai grandi miti della passione – come quello del Tristano e Isotta di Wagner – trasformando la fuga d’amore sull’isola in qualcosa di inautentico. La fallimentare trasgressione delle regole borghesi avrà un effetto incurabile su Siegmund, facendolo precipitare in un crescente stato claustrofobico. Pubblicato nel 1912, il romanzo prese spunto dal diario dell’amante di Lawrence, la scrittrice inglese Helen Corke. In esso Lawrence anticipò i temi su cui l’autore costruirà la sua fortuna: il conflitto tra passione e responsabilità etica, l’atmosfera esaltata e febbrile, il paysage moralisé, le fecondazioni wagneriane, la ricerca di una libertà effimera e ansiosa.

      This selection of Lawrence's work underlines the intensity and innovation that made him one of the most distinctive and important of twentieth-century writers. Sons and Lovers - semi-autobiographical, is a powerful exploration of family, class, sexuality and the suffocating relationships of a man with a demanding mother and two very different lovers. Women in Love - perhaps Lawrence's most mature novel, was met with disgust by the critics, seeing only a sorry tale of sexual depravity in the love of the sisters, Ursula and Gudrun, for Rupert and Gerald. Lady Chatterley's Lover - Lawrence's novel, written in poetic and sexually explicit language, deals with the passionate relationship between Lady Constance Chatterley and Oliver Mellors, her emotionally and physically crippled husband's forthright and powerfully masculine gamekeeper. A watershed in twentieth-century literary fiction, its sensational content has earned the novel an enduring readership and notoriety. Other stories featured in this volume include The Captain's Doll, The Fox, The Ladybird, St Mawr, The Princess, The Virgin and the Gypsy and The Escaped Cock.

    • Lawrence's first major novel was also the first in the English language to explore ordinary working-class life from the inside. No writer before or since has written so well about the intimacies enforced by a tightly-knit mining community and by a family where feelings are never hidden for long.When the marriage between Walter Morel and his sensitive, high-minded wife begins to break down, the bitterness of their frustration seeps into their children's lives. Their second son, Paul, craves the warmth of family and community, but knows that he must sacrifice everything in the struggle for independence if he is not to repeat his parents' failure.Lawrence's powerful description of Paul's single-minded efforts to define himself sexually and emotionally through relationships with two women - the innocent, old-fashioned Miriam Leivers and the experienced, provocatively modern Clara Dawes - makes this a novel as much for the beginning of the twenty-first century as it was for the beginning of the twentieth.

    • Aaron's Rod is a novel by D. H. Lawrence, started in 1917 and published in 1922. The protagonist of this picaresque novel, Aaron Sisson, is a union official in the coal mines of the English Midlands, trapped in a stale marriage. He is also an amateur, but talented, flautist. At the start of the story he walks out on his wife and two children and decides on impulse to visit Italy. His dream is to become recognised as a professional musician. During his travels he encounters and befriends Rawdon Lilly, a Lawrence-like writer who nurses Aaron back to health when he is taken ill in post-war London. Having recovered his health, Aaron arrives in Florence. Here he moves in intellectual and artistic circles, argues about politics, leadership and submission, and has an affair with an aristocratic lady. The novel ends with an anarchist or fascist explosion that destroys Aaron’s instrument. Many incidents in the novel have direct parallels with events in Lawrence's own life.

    • Poetry is a fascinating use of language. With almost a million words at its command it is not surprising that these Isles have produced some of the most beautiful, moving and descriptive verse through the centuries. In this series we look at individual poets who have shaped and influenced their craft and cement their place in our heritage. For many of us DH Lawrence was a schoolboy hero. Who can forget sniggering in class at the mention of Women In Love or Lady Chatterley's Lover? Lawrence was a talented if nomadic writer whose novels were passionately received, suppressed at times and generally at odds with Establishment values. This of course did not deter him. At his death in 1930 at the young age of 44 he was more often thought of as a pornographer but in the ensuing years he has come to be more rightly regarded as one of the most imaginative writers these shores have produced. As well as his novels and plays he was also a masterful poet and wrote over 800 of them. In this collection we discover and nourish ourselves on a small part of that legacy that reveals much about the man and his views on life. Many of the poems are also available as an audiobook from our sister company Portable Poetry. Many samples are at our youtube channel http: //www.youtube.com/user/PortablePoetry?feature=mhee The full volume can be purchased from iTunes, Amazon and other digital stores.

The Manasses, a husband-and-wife team from the Viennese beau monde, used retouching techniques to create surreal and noir images that seethe with an erotic symbolism barely concealed beneath a mask of glamorous styling, elegant poses, and extravagant costumes. Photographic historian Monika Faber examines this work as part of the world of cinema-enthralled Vienna, while an accompanying D. H. Lawrence story adds literary resonance to the erotic charge of these extraordinary images."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

    • Mr Noon is a sardonic tale about the amorous adventures of Gilbert Noon, a young schoolmaster in Lawrence's home county of Nottinghamshire who gets entangled with a girl, loses his job, and decides to leave the country to escape the narrow provincial middle-class morality. It was first known as a long story posthumously published in A Modern Lover (1934) and collected in the volume called Phoenix II (1968). Lawrence in fact wrote a long continuation of the novel, but the manuscript disappeared for many years. The Cambridge edition brought the two parts together for the first time. It is like a sequel to Sons and Lovers, but much more straightforwardly autobiographical. The publication of the complete work added a new work of major importance to the canon of a great writer, and was widely hailed as a major literary event.

    • Widely regarded as D. H. Lawrence's greatest novel, Women in Love is both a lucid account of English society before the First World War, and a brilliant evocation of the inexorable power of human desire. Women in Love continues where The Rainbow left off, with the third generation of Brangwens: Ursula Brangwen, now a teacher at Beldover, a mining town in the Midlands, and her sister Gudrun, who has returned from art school in London. The focus of the novel is primarily on their relationships, Ursula's with Rupert Birkin, a school inspector, and Gudrun's with industrialist Gerald Crich, and later with a sculptor, Loerke. Quintessentially modernist, Women in Love is one of Lawrence's most extraordinary, innovative and unsettling works.

    • Lawrence asserted that 'the proper function of a critic is to save the tale from the artist who created it'. In these highly individual, penetrating essays he has exposed 'the American whole soul' within some of that continent's major works of literature. In seeking to establish the status of writings by such authors as Poe, Melville, Fenimore Cooper and Whitman, Lawrence himself has created a classic work. Studies in Classic American Literature is valuable not only for the light it sheds on eighteenth- and nineteenth-century American consciousness, telling 'the truth of the day', but also as a prime example of Lawrence's learning, passion and integrity of judgement.

    • Sons and Lovers is a 1913 novel by the English writer D. H. Lawrence, originally published by B.W. Huebsch Publishers. The Modern Library placed it ninth on their list of the 100 best novels of the 20th century. While the novel initially received a lukewarm critical reception, along with allegations of obscenity, it is today regarded as a masterpiece by many critics and is often regarded as Lawrence's finest achievement. Women in Love is a novel by British author D. H. Lawrence, published in 1920. It is a sequel to his earlier novel The Rainbow (1915), and follows the continuing loves and lives of the Brangwen sisters, Gudrun and Ursula. Gudrun Brangwen, an artist, pursues a destructive relationship with Gerald Crich, an industrialist. Lawrence contrasts this pair with the love that develops between Ursula Brangwen and Rupert Birkin, an alienated intellectual who articulates many opinions associated with the author

And tell your girls, my son, that when they’re running after you, they’re not to come and ask your mother for you—tell them that—brazen baggages you meet at dancing classes.”The marriage of Gertrude and Walter Morel has become a battleground. Repelled by her uneducated and sometimes violent husband, delicate Gertrude devotes her life to her children, especially to her sons, William and Paul—determined they will not follow their father into working down the coal mines. But conflict is evitable when Paul seeks to escape his mother’s suffocating grasp through relationships with women his own age. Set in Lawrence’s native Nottinghamshire, Sons and Lovers is a highly autobiographical and compelling portrayal of childhood, adolescence and the clash of generations.

Imprisoned over half a million years ago, the Unseelie are free and each one Mac meets is worse than the last. Human weapons don't stand a chance against them. With a blood moon hanging low over the city, something dark and sinister begins to hunt the streets of Temple Bar, choosing its victims by targeting those closest to Mac.

    • D. H. Lawrence produced three versions of Lady Chatterley's Lover. To study them is surprising, for The First Lady Chatterley is a very different book from its successors - not really revolutionary polemic or manifesto at all, but a beautiful, rather pastoral tale which takes its place most appropriately beside The Virgin and the Gipsy St Mawr.

    • Written in Lawrence's most productive period, Psychoanalysis and the Unconscious and Fantasia of the Unconscious were undertaken initially in response to psychoanalytic criticism of Sons and Lovers. They developed more generally to propose an alternative to what Lawrence perceived as the Freudian psychoanalytic theory of the unconscious and the incest motive. The essays also develop his ideas about the upbringing and education of children, about marriage, and about social and even political action. Lawrence described them as 'this pseudo-philosophy of mine which was deduced from the novels and poems, not the reverse. The absolute need one has for some sort of satisfactory mental attitude towards oneself and things in general makes one try to abstract some definite conclusions from one's experiences as a writer and as a man'. These conclusions form an illuminating guide to his works and therein lies their peculiar value. D. H. Lawrence was an English novelist, poet, playwright, essayist, literary critic and painter whose works represent a reflection upon the dehumanizing effects of modernity and industrialization. In his writings Lawrence confronts issues relating to emotional health and vitality, spontaneity, and instinct often apposing current social acceptance. E. M. Forster, in an obituary notice, described him as "the greatest imaginative novelist of our generation."

      The Rainbow - By D. H. Lawrence - Complete New Edition. The Rainbow is a 1915 novel by British author D. H. Lawrence. It follows three generations of the Brangwen family living in Nottinghamshire, particularly focusing on the individual's struggle to growth and fulfilment within the confining strictures of English social life. The Rainbow tells the story of three generations of the Brangwen family, a farm/ labouring dynasty who live in the East Midlands of England near Nottingham. The book spans a period of roughly 65 years from the 1840s to 1905, and shows how the love relationships of the Brangwens change against the backdrop of the increasing industrialisation of Britain. The first central character, Tom Brangwen, is a labourer whose experience of the world does not stretch beyond Nottinghamshire; while the last, Ursula, his granddaughter, studies at University and becomes a teacher in the progressively urbanised, capitalist and industrial world that would become our modern experience.
