DAVID HERBERT LAWRENCE

D. H. Lawrence's most controversial novel was published in Florence in 1928 by one of his friends, and in Paris the next year. Because of its overt sexuality and liberal use of four-letter words, LADY CHATTERLEY'S LOVER was declared obscene and actually went to trial; the complete text did not appear in England until 1960. The novel tells the impassioned story of Lady Constance Chatterley, who is married to Sir Clifford, a wealthy man left a paraplegic after World War I--now an intellectual who ignores her. She finds love and sexual fulfillment--graphically and lyrically described--with her husband's gamekeeper, Oliver Mellors. This landmark novel epitomizes Lawrence's belief in the overriding legitimacy of sexual passion as an antidote to the cold and conventional values of a modern industrial society--and, in fact, to the life of the intellect, an attitude that has brought Lawrence as many detractors as admirers. LADY CHATTERLEY'S LOVER may not be Lawrence's best novel in terms of characterization or subtlety, and--for all the novel's radical sexual realism--the narrative harks back to the novels of the Victorian era. But it is certainly his most notorious work.

Sons and Lovers is a 1913 novel by the English writer D. H. Lawrence. It traces emotional conflicts through the protagonist, Paul Morel, and his suffocating relationships with a demanding mother and two very different lovers. The novel revolves around Paul Morel, a sensitive young artist whose love for his mother, Gertrude, overshadows his romances with two women: Miriam, his repressed, religious girlfriend, and Clara, an experienced, independent married woman. Unable to watch his mother die slowly of cancer, Paul kills her with morphine. Despite losing her and rejecting both Miriam and Clara, Paul harbours hope for the future.

ITALIA A MEDIA LUZ fue el primer volumen de ensayos de viajes de D.H. Lawrence y ha permanecido inédito en español hasta casi cumplirse un siglo desde su aparición en 1916. En palabras de W. H. Auden, los libros de viajes de Lawrence son ensayos sobre la vida suscitados por algo visto y los textos aqui reunidos no son una excepcion.

¿Qué querían y deseaban? Algo es seguro:querían que les hicieran el amor con música.Querían que el hombre no fuera una criatura tosca, que va directo a su objetivo y punto.Querían que sonaran acordes celestiales mientras él las tomaba de la mano, y que un nuevo movimiento musical estallara cuando les rodeara la cintura con el brazo.La música iría in crescendo con infinitas variaciones, a medida que hicieran el amor y avanzaran de instancia en instancia, en un baile exquisito, música y amor unidos inextricablemente, como las dos personas.

Los seis reveladores ensayos recogidos en el presente volumen, compuestos durante el primer tercio del siglo XX, brindan la siempre personalísima visión de su autor sobre cuestiones universales, ya se trate de amar, de vivir la vida con conciencia y plenitud o de conocer y conocerse en el sentido mas esencial del termino; textos que se adentran sin ambages en el ambito de la filosofia, la religion y el arte, que a la par plantean su propio abanico de respuestas, iluminan las sendas por las que deambula la confundida humanidad.
