First published in 1913, Sons and Lovers is a highly autobiographical and compelling portrayal of childhood, adolescence and the clash of generations. 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. While 'Sons and Lovers' scandalized its original English readers for its oedipal implications and social criticism, it remains a powerful story of terrifying inner and outer conflict and intense sensuality.

Sons and Lovers

From banned to best seller! When first published privately in Italy, in 1928, Lady Chatterly’s Lover was too risqué for readers and was considered unprintable. It wasn’t until three decades later, in 1960, that the novel could be printed openly in the United Kingdom. Much debate has gone into what constitutes erotic literature; but whether the novel was about a scandalous affair or a quest for purity, or about the class system and social conflict, one needs to read it for oneself to find the message that lies within. * This chic and inexpensive edition comes with a heat-burnished cover, foil stamping, luxurious endpapers, and a smaller trim size that’s easy to hold. * Lady Chatterly’s Lover is a hallmark of sensual literary prose.

Lady Chatterley's Lover

The Plumed Serpent D. H. Lawrence - Lawrence wrote The Plumed Serpent between 1923 to 1924 a time when he was in ill health, living in Mexico and becoming dependent on his wife Frieda.The plot revolves around a movement to replace the Christian God with the old pre-conquest gods, such as Quetzalcoatl, the plumed serpent of the title. Kate Leslie, an Irish woman, gets caught up in the movement and marries one of the leaders but to the very end of the novel is ambivalent towards the aims of the movement. Lawrence uses the story to propound his own views about religion and the need for woman to sublimate herself before man and the need for a new political order. This all seems deliciously old-fashioned and misplaced now but we forgive Lawrence because of the beauty of his writing and his ability to get beneath the surface of the country he describes.

Women in Love

David Herbert Lawrence ou D.H. Lawrence, como é mais conhecido, foi um controverso e prolífico escritor inglês, conhecido pelos seus romances, poemas e livros de viagens. A sua obra aborda temas considerados chocantes para sua época, início do século XX, como as relações humanas e a sexualidade em suas múltiplas formas. Em Filhos e amantes, D. H. Lawrence descreve com maestria a paisagem rural de Nottinghamshire e a comunidade mineradora a que se sentia tão ligado e é ousado na honestidade com que aborda os temas da família,luta de classes, conflito entre os sexos, sexualidade, industrialização e pobreza, O tema central do romance é a relação entre o menino Paul Morel e sua mãe, uma presença materna ubíqua e com grandes ambições para o filho talentoso. Paul satisfaz as aspirações frustradas da mãe pela educação e pela arte. Mas a relação quase incestuosa entre mãe e filho ameaça impedi-lo de desenvolver uma identidade adulta e de forjar relacionamentos sexuais maduros com outras mulheres. Filhos e Amantes faz parte da famosa coletânea 1001 Livros Para ler Antes de Morrer e é um grande clássico que merece ser lido.

Why the Novel Matters

ثلاث مسرحيات 

Five Short Stories

The author of Sea and Sardinia and Mornings in Mexico shares essays on his travels to Germany, Austria, and Italy. D. H. Lawrence first left England in 1912 and almost immediately began recording his reaction to foreign cultures. Many of those writings became a series of travel articles intended to be published in newspapers; two of them are published here for the first time, deemed too anti-German at the time. Other essays were modified and added to even more observations for Lawrence’s first travel book, Twilight in Italy, published in 1916. Shaped by the atmosphere of the War, and its rampant anxieties, these essays are imbued with Lawrence’s intellectual daring and confidence, which raise them above a conventional travel book.

Twilight in Italy

Il purosangue

In his last novel, published less than a year before his untimely death at the age of forty-five, D.H. Lawrence takes up the theme of Christ's resurrection and his final days on Earth. Lawrence recounts Christ's agonizing journey from death back to life with an alarmingly proffane realism, depicting the tale from teh 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 Lawrence's 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.
