DAVID HERBERT LAWRENCE, página 2 de 4

¿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.

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.

Quando fu pubblicato, nel 1928, questo romanzo scritto in Toscana da Lawrence suscito subito enorme scandalo: nessuno infatti aveva mai osato vergare con linchiostro tanti espliciti riferimenti alla vita e ai gusti sessuali dei protagonisti. Ancora piu scalpore suscito il fatto che lintreccio sessuale si lega alladulterio: la protagonista, infatti, e una donna appartenente alla nobilta e sposata con un baronetto paraplegico, che intrattiene una relazione clandestina con un uomo del ceto medio. In Europa Lamante di Lady Chatterley fu ampiamente censurato, e in Inghilterra addirittura proibito fino al 1960. Ma Lady Chatterley e invece una rivoluzionaria eroina della letteratura moderna, una ribelle che prende consapevolezza della ristrettezza della vita in un piccolo sobborgo industriale nel nord dellInghilterra e decide di cercare di migliorare la propria esistenza a ogni costo, finendo per pagare conseguenze sociali estreme per i suoi sentimenti e per la sua rivolta contro una comunita ottusa e malpensante. Ispirato dal reale tradimento della moglie di Lawrence, questo romanzo e uno dei piu celebri, discussi e amati capolavori del Ventesimo Secolo. Allinterno - come in tutti i volumi Fermento - gli "Indicatori" per consentire al lettore un agevole viaggio dentro il libro.

David Herbert Lawrence is considered one of the greatest English writers of modernity. His novel "Sons and Lovers", first published in 1913, was derided upon publication, but today is often considered his best work. "Sons and Lovers" takes place in England and tells the story of Gertrude Morel, a young woman full of life and ambition who struggles to self-actualise in the early twentieth-century society of Britain, which squelches discourse between women. Morel reacts by becoming a highly perceptive wallflower, pretending to enjoy a trivial social existence in order to observe guests at parties. When Morel commits to a relationship, she learns about the many pitfalls and limitations of claiming and becoming accountable to a life path. She ages and has several sons who, in their relationships with her, both repeat and create their own problematic patterns.Seen from another perspective "Sons and Lovers" also tells the story of a man so emotionally connected to and influenced by his mother that he is unable to form lasting relationships when he encounters other women.

"Kangaroo" is David Herbert Lawrences eighth novel, set in Australia. He wrote the first draft in just forty-five days while living south of Sydney, in 1922, and revised it three months later in New Mexico. The descriptions of the country are vivid and sympathetic and the book fuses lightly disguised autobiography with an exploration of political ideas at an immensely personal level.

David Herbert Lawrences "The Plumed Serpent" is the story of an Aztec pagan revolution that spreads through Mexico during the time of the Mexican Revolution (the 1910s).

Ramon provides the leadership, poetry, and propaganda that helps the movement take off, and Cipriano lends a military counterpoint...

"The Virgin and the Gipsy" was discovered in France after David Herbert Lawrences death in 1930. Immediately recognised 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 Lawrences most electrifying short novels.Set in a small village in the English countryside, this is the story of a secluded, sensitive rectors 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 paralysed 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. Lawrences spirit is infused by all his tenderness, passion, and knowledge of the human soul.(Source: goodreads.com)

That David Herbert Lawrence is actually a man of realistic, insightful fiction shows best in his novels. And when it comes to short fiction, he tends to preserve not only the essence of his fictional wordsmithy but also the style. First published in 1922, "England, My England", a collection of ten short stories by Lawrence is an example.Most of the stories were written against the backdrop of the World War I, taking war and its destruction as its main concern.If you are a Lawrence fan, this book will surely not fail in touching you. If you havent read his fiction before, you may be left wondering or confused at times. Yet, all will be able to see how Lawrence breaks away from the traditional style of story-telling of his time.

First published in 1929, David Herbert Lawrences novella "The Man Who Died" was originally a story titled The Escaped Cock. Later, Lawrence added a second part, and his publishers changed the title to "The Man Who Died". In his last novel, published less than a year before his untimely death at the age of forty-five, Lawrence takes up the theme of Christs resurrection and his final days on Earth. Lawrence recounts Christs agonising journey from death back to life with an alarmingly profane realism, depicting the tale from the moment of his initial painful awakening to his eventual redemptive sexual relationship with the priestess of the pagan goddess Isis.The story expands beyond its Christian roots to explore and embrace Lawrences abiding faith in the life-force apparent in every aspect of the natural world. For his final work, Lawrence has encapsulated a lifetime of extraordinary vision into one profound and exquisite parable.

David Herbert Lawrences The Rainbow is a groundbreaking exploration of the complexities of human relationships, sexuality, and the quest for identity in Englands early 20th century. Structured around the lives of three generations of the Brangwen family, the narrative weaves a rich tapestry of their emotional and spiritual struggles, set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing society. Lawrences innovative prose, filled with vivid imagery and symbolic elements, reflects his deep connection to the natural world and the subconscious, while also engaging with themes of feminism and individualism that predate modernist literature. Lawrence, born in 1885 in a coal-mining town, was profoundly influenced by his working-class background and his personal experiences with love, sexuality, and social stratification. His own tumultuous relationships and his interest in the intersection of culture and human psychology led him to probe the intricate dynamics of life in The Rainbow. This exploration ultimately confronted the societal norms of his time, resulting in a book that was considered controversial yet transformative in its candidness about desire and self-fulfillment. This novel is highly recommended for readers interested in early modernist literature and the evolution of social themes during the early 1900s. The Rainbow invites you to embark on an introspective journey, challenging preconceived notions about gender, lineage, and personal freedom. Lawrences masterful depiction of emotional landscapes renders this work an enduring classic that continues to resonate with contemporary readers.

In David Herbert Lawrences novel Aarons Rod, the reader is transported into the socially and politically turbulent post-World War I era. The book follows the journey of Aaron Sisson, a disillusioned man who seeks to find meaning and fulfillment outside of societys constraints. Lawrences lyrical prose captures the internal conflict of his protagonist as he navigates the complexity of relationships, music, and self-discovery. The novels exploration of themes such as alienation, masculinity, and the search for authenticity resonates with readers even today. Aarons Rod stands out for its introspective and psychological depth, making it a significant work in Lawrences literary oeuvre. The books raw and emotional narrative style reflects the authors own struggles with societal norms and personal freedom. David Herbert Lawrence, known for his provocative and controversial works, drew inspiration from his own experiences to create a compelling story that challenges the reader to question societal conventions and embrace individuality. I recommend Aarons Rod to readers who appreciate introspective literature that delves into the complexities of human existence and societal expectations.

David Herbert LawrenceAos "The Trespasser" is a profound exploration of the complexities of love, desire, and societal constraints in early 20th-century England. Set against the backdrop of a Midlands mining community, the narrative follows the passionate and tumultuous relationship between the protagonist, a young woman named Beatrice, and a married man. Lawrences lyrical prose is interspersed with vivid, emotive imagery, capturing the raw intensity of human emotions. The novel reflects Lawrences preoccupation with the clash between individual impulses and societal norms, foreshadowing the modernist themes that would dominate his later works. Born in 1885 in the industrial city of Nottingham, LawrenceAos upbringing in a miners family greatly informed his literary perspective. His early experiences with class struggle and the quest for personal freedom resonate throughout "The Trespasser." Lawrence was an outspoken critic of the repressive social structures of his time, which fueled his desire to delve into the intricacies of human intimacy and the often painful consequences of pursuing ones desires. Readers seeking a nuanced portrayal of love intertwined with the existential challenges of the human condition will find "The Trespasser" a compelling read. LawrenceAos incisive character studies and richly drawn environments invite readers to reflect upon their own experiences of love and societal expectation, making this novel both timeless and relevant in its exploration of the human spirit.

David Herbert Lawrences "Sons and Lovers" delves into the complex relationships within a working-class family in early 20th-century England, primarily focusing on the tumultuous bond between Paul Morel and his emotionally manipulative mother, Gertrude. Employing a vivid and expressive literary style that blends naturalism with psychological depth, Lawrence explores themes of love, sexual tension, and the struggle for individuality. This seminal work, often regarded as an autobiographical reflection of Lawrences own life, captures the essence of the industrial era, characterized by socio-economic constraints and familial pressures, weaving a narrative that transcends its time. David Herbert Lawrence, born in 1885 in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, drew extensively from his own experiences and background as the son of a coal miner. His upbringing profoundly influenced the themes in "Sons and Lovers," where the conflict between aspiration and the emotional longevity of family loyalty is deeply examined. LawrenceAos intimate understanding of the struggles of the working class and his acute awareness of psychological dynamics fueled his passion for creating complex characters, all of which resonate powerfully in this novel. I highly recommend "Sons and Lovers" to readers who seek not only a compelling narrative but also an insightful examination of human relationships and personal aspirations. LawrenceAos exploration of love, emotional conflict, and social constraints makes this novel a timeless classic that remains relevant to modern audiences.

"An analytical study of sexual depravity" and "an epic of vice" were two of the critical expressions which greeted the publication of "Women in Love". Yet Lawrence regarded this novel as his best book and F. R. Leavis considered it Lawrences supreme masterpiece.The novel tells of the relationships of two sisters, Ursula and Gudrun, who live in a Midland colliery town in the years before the First World War. Ursula falls in love with Birkin (a thinly disguised portrait of Lawrence himself) and Gudrun has an intense but tragic affair with Gerald, the son of a local colliery owner.

The release of the novel written by David Lawrence "Lady Chatterleys Lover" caused a great scandal, associated with numerous frank descriptions of sexual scenes, and was once banned in different countries. For example, in 1928 it was banned in the UK and rehabilitated after a high-profile trial only in 1960.The author focuses on the classic love triangle: a young beautiful wife, a disabled husband who returned home after a serious injury in the war and a huntsman who looks after the family estate of Chatterleys. The husband knows about the love affair of his wife and even agrees her to give birth to a child from a lover. But the wife decides to do it her own way.
