Bøger af D. H. Lawrence

Introduction by David Ellis The struggle for power at the heart of a family in conflict, the mysteries of sexual initiation, and the pain of irretrievable loss are the universal motifs with which D. H. Lawrence fashions one of the world's most original autobiographical novels. Gertrude Morel is a refined woman who married beneath her and has come to loathe her brutal, working-class husband. She focuses her passion instead on her two sons, who return her love and despise their father. Trouble begins when Paul Morel, a budding artist, falls in love with a young woman who seems capable of rivaling his mother for possession of his soul. In the ensuing battle, he finds his path to adulthood tragically impeded by the enduring power of his mother's grasp. Published on the eve of World War I, SONS AND LOVERS confirmed Lawrence's genius and inaugurated the controversy over his explicit writing about sexuality and human relationships that would follow him to the end of his career.

Part of Alma Classics' Evergreens series of popular classics, Sons and Lovers is presented here with an extensive critical apparatus and extra material, including a section of photographs and notes.

Women in Love (1920) is a novel by British author D. H. Lawrence. 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. The emotional relationships thus established are given further depth and tension by an intense psychological and physical attraction between Gerald and Rupert. The novel ranges over the whole of British society before the time of the First World War and eventually concludes in the snows of the Tyrolean Alps. Ursula's character draws on Lawrence's wife Frieda and Gudrun's on Katherine Mansfield, while Rupert Birkin's has elements of Lawrence himself, and Gerald Crich is partly based on Mansfield's husband, John Middleton Murry.

D.H. Lawrences erotiske roman Lady Chatterleys elsker betegnes som en klassiker. Lady Chatterley lever sit pæne, isolerede og kedelige engelske overklasseliv med sin lamme mand Clifford. I hendes søgen efter at udleve sit seksuelle begær og finde sin lyst, møder hun skytten Mellors, der viser hende andre sider af livet. I elskoven opnår de ”at komme sammen”, men vil de to elskende kunne fortrænge klasseskel og andres fordomme...Lady Chatterleys elsker er skrevet som en samtidsroman af D.H. Lawrence og viser datidens sociale normer, hvor eksempelvis status, penge, titler og renommé spillede en væsentlig rolle, og hvor man ikke nødvendigvis fik den man elskede. D.H. Lawrence formår på fornemste vis at fremvise disse holdninger både sjovt og pinligt. Denne version er oversat af Hans Peter Andersen.God læselyst.

Following the death of her parents, a young and innocent Fanny Hill travels to London to find work. She has barely arrived, however, when she is lured into a brothel and has a sexual experience with another woman.

David Herbert Lawrence (1885¿1930) was an English writer and poet whose work famously examined the results of industrialisation on contemporary society. In his novels and poetry, Lawrence explored a variety of then-controversial issues including sexuality and emotional health, which led many to label his work pornography. Today, he is considered to be one of the most important and influential writers of his generation. Lawrence's 1928 novel ¿Lady Chatterley's Lover¿ is the story of the former Constance Reid (Lady Chatterley), a young woman married to an upper-class baronet who was left with lower body paralysis as a result of his participation in the Great War. Both physically and emotionally distant from her husband, Constance begins an extramarital affair with the gamekeeper. Following the Victory of the publisher Penguin Books in an obscenity trial in the United Kingdom, an uncensored version of the book was finally published and gained notoriety due to explicit descriptions of sex and its use of then-unprintable four-letter words. A revolutionary novel and a true classic of English literature, ¿Lady Chatterley's Lover¿ would make for a worthy addition to any bookshelf. Read & Co. Classics is proud to be republishing this seminal novel now in a brand new edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.

The Etruscan civilisation, which flourished from the 8th until the 5th century BC in what is now Tuscany, is one of the most fascinating and mysterious in history. An uninhibited, elemental people, the Etruscans enthralled D.H. Lawrence, who craved their 'old wisdom', the secret of their vivacity and love of life. To him they represented the antithesis of everything he despised in the modern world, perhaps because their spontaneity and naturalness struck a chord with his own quest for personal and artistic freedom - so often censured or repressed. Lawrence approaches the enigmatic Etruscans as a poet, passionately and searchingly, and so the reader is swept up in his luminous descriptions of a utopian world where dancing and feasting, art and music were everything. The exhilaration of Lawrence in his Etruscan adventures stands in stark contrast to his intimations of the darkness of Mussolini's Italy - at a time when Europe was beginning its inexorable drift towards tragedy. The last of Lawrence's travel books, Etruscan Places is an ephemeral and vivid account, replete with hauntingly evocative descriptions of the way of life of this once great civilisation.

"He lifted her, and seemed to pour her into himself, like wine into a cup (...) So she relaxed, and seemed to melt, to flow into him, as if she were some infinitely warm and precious suffusion filling into his veins, like an intoxicant."The second novel about the Brangwen family, `Women in Love‘ (1920), narrows in on sisters Ursula and Gudrun, who, though very close, have a fiery relationship. As teachers at a grammar school they become involved with the school inspector, Rupert Birkin, and the wealthy son of a local colliery owner, Gerald Crich. What is not immediately apparent to them is the deep and complicated relationship between the two men. D.H. Lawrence wrote the character of Birking as a thinly disguised version of himself while author Katherine Mansfield was his inspiration behind the youngest sister Gudrun. In the well-received BBC miniseries from 2011, Gudrun was portrayed by award-winning actress Rosamund Pike.LUST Classics is a collection of erotic literary classics.

In De regenboog volgen we drie generaties van de Engelse familie Brangwen, van halverwege de negentiende tot het begin van de twintigste eeuw. In deze periode zien we de familie veranderen van een klassiek boerengezin tot een moderne familie met dochters die gaan studeren en op vele fronten een grotere vrijheid genieten.De regenboog was in de tijd dat het verscheen erg omstreden vanwege de liberale omgang met het thema seksualiteit. Lawrence schrijft openhartig over lust en beschrijft zelfs een lesbische romance. Hierdoor was het boek in Engeland geruime tijd verboden. Lawrence schreef later nog een vervolg op De Regenboog, getiteld Women in Love.D.H. Lawrence (1885-1930) was een Britse romanschrijver die erom bekend stond controversiële onderwerpen in zijn romans niet uit de weg te gaan. Om die reden werd zijn werk met regelmaat verboden. Zijn bekendste werk, Lady Chatterley‘s lover, is in die zin geen uitzondering. Vanwege zijn liberale opvattingen over erotiek en seksualiteit werd het werk van Lawrence pas lang na zijn dood op waarde geschat.
