Voľné pokračovanie románu Dúha. Jadrom sú životné peripetie a citové konflikty najmladších predstaviteliek starého brangwenovského rodu, Ursuly a Gudrun.
Dej románu sa odohráva začiatkom tohto storočia v severoanglickom baníckom mestečku, kde pani Morelová po trpkom sklamaní v manželovi všetku svoju energiu a lásku prenáša na deti, najmä na syna Paula a doňho vkladá všetky nádeje. Paul je nadaný, chce sa stať maliarom. Syn sa jej odpláca rovnakou nežnou náklonnosťou, až dojímavou synovskou láskou. No ako dospieva, do jeho života vstupujú ženy – preduchovnená, cudná, až prísna Miriam, neskôr zmyselná, vášnivá a náročná Clara. Obe oňho bojujú, obe ho na čas k sebe pripútajú, no ani jednej sa to nepodarí natrvalo.
Milenec lady Chatterleyovej

David Herbert Lawrence (1885-1930) je jeden z najvýznamnejších predstaviteľov literárneho modernizmu. Svoje postavenie si vydobyl akoby útokom, v neúprosnom boji s cenzúrou a verejnou mienkou. Jeho najkontroverznejším románom je Milenec lady Chatterleyovej z roku 1928, v ktorom otvorene a s veľkou úprimnosťou opísal vzťah dvoch milencov. Román bol v Anglicku zakázaný ako nemorálny a pornografický a v plnom znení vyšiel až po známom procese s obscénnou literatúrou roku 1960, teda tridsať rokov po autorovej smrti. Lawrence v ňom vyjadril svoju vieru v obrodnú moc „novej sexuality“ v rámci realistického príbehu, dejovo zasadeného do rodného baníckeho kraja. Je to príbeh mladej Connie, manželstvom pripútanej k urodzenému, za vojny zmrzačenému mužovi a obrodenej fyzickou láskou k hájnikovi Mellorsovi. Lawrence, vášnivý apoštol novej lásky, sa stal známym pre svoju priam šokujúcu otvorenosť v ľúbostných vzťahoch a vášnivú polemiku s viktoriánskym pokrytectvom. Dnes tohto autora hodnotíme ako skvelého realistu, ktorý bojoval za duševný, ale aj telesný súlad v pomere muža a ženy. Jeho zásluhy o modernú románovú tvorbu sú nesporné.

Výbor z noviel a poviedok anglického modernisty.
Novela známého autora, jednoho ze zakladatelů moderní anglické literatury, zachycuje prostředí anglického venkova v prvních desetiletích 20. století. Autor se ve svém díle zaměřoval na lidské vztahy, jejichž prostřednictvím dává nahlédnout do vlastních kritických názorů na život a společnost. Ani tato novela o milostném vzplanutí mezi konvenčně vychovanou mladou dívkou a člověkem, žijícím na okraji společnosti, není výjimkou, a i zde je zřetelná inspirace Freudovými pracemi z oboru psychoanalýzy.

Výbor z celoživotní básnické tvorby významného anglického autora. První část tvoří verše z let 1906-1911, v nichž autor nevybočoval z konvencí poklidné pastorální poezie, avšak naznačoval již možné směry svého vývoje. Druhé období (1912-18) je již prostoupeno ostrými konflikty mezi láskou a nenávistí, navíc se zde objevují i nové výrazy Lawrencovy filozofie a estetiky. Tento program je nejzdařileji formulován ve sbírce Ptáci, zvířata a květiny (1923), který je jádrem výboru. Závěr knihy patří autorovým posledním básním, které symbolizují metaforou náhrobních kamenů Lawrencovo rozloučení s životem.... celý text

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.

Mistrovská miniatura jako podobenství o nedostatku lásky ve světě, kde štěstí má podobu peněz a úspěchu. Nevelká povídka mistra anglické prózy 20. století je příběhem chlapce, který vyrůstá v rodině bez lásky. Chladná matka, pro niž je smyslem života konzum, příliš pozdě pozná, že měla věnovat více pozornosti svému citlivému synkovi, který byl ochoten z lásky k ní obětovat vše. Lawrenceovi se podařilo na malé ploše vytvořit vícevrstevný příběh s prvky tajemna i psychoanalýzy. Kniha je doprovázena půvabnými ilustracemi Jiřího Šalamouna.
Společensky podbarvený román zachycuje v příběhu dvou mileneckých párů myšlenkové proudy a životní pocity lidí v prvních desetiletích 20. století. Osou široce koncipovaného románu je složitý vzájemný vztah obou dvojic, který se v průběhu děje neustále proměňuje. Jedni z milenců nacházejí nakonec vnitřní soulad a naplnění, druhý pár se tragicky rozpadá. Všechny postavy svými úvahami, meditacemi, pocity a jednáním kopírují postoje a pocity lidí své doby, zejména snahu o absolutní osobní svobodu, kterou si chtějí ponechat za každou cenu a jsou pro ni ochotni cokoliv obětovat.

Tato kniha je posledním útokem D.H. Lawrence proti materialistické a zintelektualizované západní civilicazi. Jeho poetický komentář Knihy Zjevení odsuzuje pokrytectví průměrných vrstev a vyzdvihuje pohanské hodnoty zničené křesťanstvím, vědou a demokracií. Lawrencova fascinující interpretace symbolů, zvířat a čísel odkrývá současně nitro jeho samého.

Výběr čtyř Lawrenceových povídek. V nich jsou pro Lawrence charakteristicky středem pozornosti nejen emocionálně a osudově klíčové výseky ze života mladých žen a mužů tehdejší Anglie, příběhy, jejichž rámec tvoří vždy plasticky viděná příroda, ale i vnitřní, víc podvědomé impulsy či motivy jednání jeho hrdinů, sexuální psychologie jejich vztahů (ať jde o dospívající Yvette, kterou „probouzí“ náhodné setkání s cikánem, o vztah horníkovy ženy k otci jejích dětí, o vliv muže na přátelství dvou společně hospodařících dívek apod.). Ve všech se ozývají motivy pro Lawrence typické – nerovné nešťastné manželské svazky, probouzející se erotické city, překonávání puritánské výchovy v oblasti právě těchto citů, objevuje se tu prostředí hornické i prostředí venkovských far, oblasti, které autor zasvěceně znal a o jejichž životě proto píše zajímavě a neotřele.

Selected works of D.H. Lawrence

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.
Set during World War I, the narrative delves into the complexities of human relationships through the lives of Nellie March and Jill Banford, who share a secluded life on a poultry farm. Their routine is disrupted by the arrival of Henry Grenfel, a young soldier seeking his grandfather’s legacy. His presence ignites a tumultuous triangle of desire and dread, forcing the characters to confront societal norms and the fragile nature of personal freedom, all while dealing with the symbolic threat posed by a marauding fox.

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.
David Herbert Lawrence's works delve into the dehumanizing impacts of modernity and industrialization. He addresses themes such as sexuality, emotional well-being, and the importance of vitality and spontaneity.

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. Among our readers are Richard Mitchley and Ghizela Rowe

"This volume features a recently rediscovered cache of captivating portraits from another time and place: a golden age of cinema and cabaret in Vienna of the 1920s and 1930s. 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
Notes on Women in Love

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.
Women in Love; Lady Chatterley's Lover; Love Among the Haystacks

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.

The London Transport bar and circle – also known as the bulls-eye or roundel – is an icon of commercial design. Over the last century it has come to represent not only London's transport network but also the city itself. Rare for the logo of a large organization, the symbol is often perceived as being 'cool', and its influence has extended into many other fields, including fashion, pop music and counter-culture.This fascinating book charts the history and development of the symbol from the early 20th century to the present day, and explores its use across the company's many activities, as well as its wide-ranging cultural influence. Richly illustrated with poster artworks, photographs and other graphic material from the London Transport Museum archives, the book features numerous inventive uses of the logo, many of them previously unpublished.

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

[Penguin Readers Level 5]“She was a brazen hussy.”“She wasn’t. And she was pretty, wasn't she?”“I didn’t look. . . . 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.

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.

These two brilliant novels are deservedly among Lawrence's most popular works. Both are at the same time exciting narratives and striking expressions of Lawrence's philosophy. St. Mawr is the story of a splendid stallion in whose vitality the heroine finds the quality that is lacking in the men she knows. It is also the first of Lawrence's writing to be partially set in America, on a ranch in Arizona. The Man Who Died, originally published in Paris as "The Escaped Cock" and later retitled and revised, has as its main character Christ, who does not die on the cross but escapes to wander through the country seeking the meaning of human existence, which he finally discovers in a temple of Isis by the waters of Lebanon.
