David Herbert Lawrence Libri

Ritrovato il manoscritto del romanzo autobiografico e intemperante che l'autore dell'"Amante di Lady Chatterley" non osò pubblicare perché "assai divertente, ma assai scandaloso". Dall'Inghilterra alla Germania all'Italia, le esperienze giovanili fino ai giorni magici dell'incontro con la sensuale e inquieta Frieda von Richtofen, futura moglie e musa del romanziere. Le gioie, le tensioni, le crisi, le estasi di due esseri che tendono a oltranza l'arco della propria libertà e disinibita passione.

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.".

La raccolta presenta gli scritti di viaggio di D. H. Lawrence che mettono a confronto la vibrante e vitale cultura degli antichi etruschi con la desolazione dell'Italia di Mussolini alla fine degli anni '20. Scritte dopo il suo viaggio in Toscana con l'amico Earl Brewster nel 1927, questi saggi riflettono sulla bellezza del paesaggio e sulle condizioni sociali contrastanti dell'epoca. Le osservazioni di Lawrence offrono un'analisi unica sia della ricchezza storica degli etruschi sia del clima politico contemporaneo.

David Herbert Lawrence nacque nel Nottinghamshire nel 1885. Ricordato principalmente come romanziere, Lawrence iniziò a scrivere poesia all'età di diciannove anni e pubblicò i suoi primi pezzi nel 1909. Il suo primo libro di versi, "Love Poems and Others", apparve nel 1913. Seguì "Amores" (1916), "Look! We Have Come Through" (1917), "New Poems" (1918), "Bay" (1919), "Tortoises" (1921), "Birds, Beasts and Flowers" (1923) e "Pansies" (1929). Le sue "Collected Poems" apparvero nel 1928 e "Last Poems" fu pubblicato postumo nel 1932. D.H. Lawrence morì di tubercolosi a Vence nel 1930.

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.

"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.

David Herbert Lawrence (1885-1930) è stato un autore versatile e visionario di romanzi, racconti, poesie, saggi e traduzioni, la cui reputazione è stata offuscata dalla censura precoce e dai memoriali sensazionalistici degli anni '30 e '40. Ha rifiutato la prudenza vittoriana e ha promosso l'idea della liberazione sessuale in una Utopia che desiderava vedere prendere forma. Questo ha portato a opere che furono considerate oscene e pornografiche sia dai critici letterari che dai funzionari governativi, in una società ancora in gran parte vittoriana. Il suo romanzo del 1920, "La ragazza perduta", racconta la storia di Alvina Houghton, una ragazza di una famiglia borghese inglese che deve destreggiarsi tra una vita di sicurezza e decoro in Inghilterra e una di desiderio sensuale, risveglio e libertà a Napoli con un artista di varietà di nome Ciccio.

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.

Pubblicato nel 1928 da un piccolo editore fiorentino, questo romanzo di D.H. Lawrence ha suscitato scandalo e controversie, venendo sequestrato per oscenità fino al 1960 in Gran Bretagna. Non sono solo le sensuali descrizioni di amplessi a destare scandalo, ma soprattutto la sua sostanza "sovversiva", incentrata su una donna che sfida le rigide norme della società britannica per affermare la sua libertà e il diritto a una vita sentimentale autentica. Constance Chatterley, moglie di un baronetto paralizzato dalla prima guerra mondiale, si innamora del guardacaccia della sua tenuta. La loro relazione, inizialmente fisica, evolve in un legame profondo. Il marito, pur disposto a tollerare eventuali avventure con donne della sua classe, non accetta l'amore della moglie per un servo. Incinta, Constance decide di abbandonarlo per vivere appieno la sua storia d'amore. Il romanzo esplora il conflitto tra convenzione e desiderio, oppressione e libertà, fungendo da denuncia sociale e da analisi dell'animo femminile, dei meccanismi dell'innamoramento e della natura dei sentimenti primari. È un inno alla vitalità del sesso, capace di travolgere la falsa coscienza e affermare il diritto al piacere e alla libertà individuale.

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.

The second and best version of 'Lady Chatterley'. The marriage of Clifford Chatterley, who became a cripple in the war, and the young, beautiful Connie has become devoid of meaning. He invests all his life energy into a coal mining enterprise, while she—a woman full of life—becomes internally unmoored but cannot detach herself from her husband. However, when she meets Oliver Mellors and experiences a fulfilling love with him, she is ready to embrace this socially inappropriate relationship and face the resulting difficulties. A book defending sensuality and nature against industrialization and conventions—the novel of an amour fou that transcends all class divisions.

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.

"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

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.

The Modern Library placed it ninth on their list of the 100 best novels of the 20th century.

In an era still shrouded in Victorian spirit, the poet, novelist, and painter D.H. Lawrence embodies rebellion against puritanical morality, leading him to a metaphysical conception of sex that scandalized his contemporaries. This novella contains many characteristic elements of the author's work. The Princess is a typically Lawrencean woman, complex, vitalistic, and rebellious, dominated by an unconscious eroticism that she attempts in vain to control. A book that may profoundly shake the reader.

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.

D. H. Lawrence's grand narrative explores the depths of human existence through the story of a man who loves islands. He seeks happiness on a storm-battered island, creating a world shaped by his own desires. However, his happiness soon faces threats, not from the elements, but from other people. In search of solitude, he retreats to a smaller island, and then to an even smaller one, until he finds himself utterly alone, accompanied only by the sea. As he delves deeper into himself, he confronts his wishes and longings. This tale reflects on a man's daring withdrawal from the world to experience the tides and vibrations of his soul, ultimately striving to create his own paradise.

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.

The lull continued. Then suddenly came sharp orders, and a new direction of the guns, and an intense, exciting activity. Yet at the center the soul remained dark and aloof, alone. But even so, it was the soul that heard the new sound: the new, deep "papp!" of a gun that seemed to touch right upon the soul. He kept up the rapid activity at the machine-gun, sweating. But in his soul was the echo of the new, deep sound, deeper than life. And in confirmation came the awful faint whistling of a shell, advancing almost suddenly into a piercing, tearing shriek that would tear through the membrane of life. * This collection of stories includes "England, My England," "Tickets, Please," "The Blind Man," "Monkey Nuts," "Wintry Peacock," "You Touched Me," "Samson and Delilah," "The Primrose Path," "The Horse Dealer's Daughter," and "Fanny and Annie."

With an Introduction and Notes by Jeff Wallace, University of Glamorgan.These stories of myth and resurrection, of uncanny events and violent impulse, were with one exception written and published in the latter half of the 1920s, coinciding with the composition of Lawrence's controversial masterpiece Lady Chatterley's Lover.At this time Lawrence declared himself to be 'really awful sick of writing'; yet here we find some of his most beautiful, hauntingly melancholy fictions. In struggling to escape from their thwarted lives and to achieve human 'tenderness', the characters embody and continue the major preoccupations of Lawrence's work as a whole.Love Among the Haystacks provides an early illustration of the intensity and innovation which made Lawrence one of the most distinctive and important of twentieth-century writers.
