      The novel is set in Aar, a poor and remote Sardinian village. The story takes place in less than three days and concerns the struggle between the mother and her only son, Paul, the local priest. The mother, Maria Maddalena, grew up in this small parish and she sees this as the rest of their lives: to be together and that he becomes the best priest Aar ever had. One night she discovers that Paul is involved with a woman, Agnes, and suddenly realizes that everything she wished for is now in peril.The love of the priest for the woman is sheer instinctive passion, pure and undefiled by sentiment. As such it is worthy of respect, for in other books on this theme the instinct is swamped and extinguished in sentiment. [...] All the priest's education and Christianity are really mere snuff of the candle.from the Introduction by D.H. Lawrence

    • Kochanek lady Chatterley to nie tylko historia namiętnego romansu angielskiej arystokratki. To ważna opowieść o prawie do miłości i namiętności wbrew społecznym konwenansom. Mąż lady Konstancji Chatterley - Clifford - niedługo po ślubie wyrusza na wojnę, podczas której zostaje ciężko ranny. Do domu wraca sparaliżowany od pasa w dół. W wiktoriańskim społeczeństwie dla Konstancji oznacza to koniec jej życia miłosnego - pragnienia ciała powinny ustąpić obowiązkom opieki nad mężem. Clifford nie chce jednak takiego losu dla Konstancji i nakłania ją, by znalazła sobie kochanka. Początkowo lady Chatterley odrzuca propozycję męża. Jednak wszystko się zmienia, kiedy podczas spaceru spotyka w lesie młodego gajowego... Wielowymiarowa i wyprzedzająca swoje czasy powieść angielskiego pisarza D.H. Lawrence’a była na tyle skandalizująca, że nieocenzurowana wersja została wydana w jego rodzinnym kraju ponad 30 lat po premierze. A jednym z powodów były śmiałe - jak na ówczesne czasy - sceny erotyczne, w tym opisy miłosnych doznań kobiety.

The cottages of this tiny hamlet had nestled in peace since their beginning, and the country folk had crossed the lanes and farm-lands, two or three miles, to the parish church at Greymeed, on the bright Sunday mornings. But when the pits were sunk, blank rows of dwellings started up beside the high roads, and a new population, skimmed from the floating scum of workmen, was filled in, the cottages and the country people almost obliterated.

    • 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.

    • Poetry is a fascinating use of language. With almost a million words at its command it is not surprising that these Isles have produced some of the most beautiful, moving and descriptive verse through the centuries. In this series we look at individual poets who have shaped and influenced their craft and cement their place in our heritage. For many of us DH Lawrence was a schoolboy hero. Who can forget sniggering in class at the mention of Women In Love or Lady Chatterley's Lover? Lawrence was a talented if nomadic writer whose novels were passionately received, suppressed at times and generally at odds with Establishment values. This of course did not deter him. At his death in 1930 at the young age of 44 he was more often thought of as a pornographer but in the ensuing years he has come to be more rightly regarded as one of the most imaginative writers these shores have produced. As well as his novels and plays he was also a masterful poet and wrote over 800 of them. In this collection we discover and nourish ourselves on a small part of that legacy that reveals much about the man and his views on life. Many of the poems are also available as an audiobook from our sister company Portable Poetry. Many samples are at our youtube channel http: //www.youtube.com/user/PortablePoetry?feature=mhee The full volume can be purchased from iTunes, Amazon and other digital stores.

      Geschichten von Liebe und Leidenschaft

      »Dann aber ließ Henry sie aus zwei Gründen sitzen. Er konnte ihre Mutter nicht ausstehen, und ihre Mutter konnte ihn nicht ausstehen.« So einfach geht es selten zu bei D. H. Lawrence. Denn wenn Lawrence von Liebe und Leidenschaft erzählt, geht es auch um das Gegenteil um Hass und Eifersucht, um die Schwierigkeiten einer erfüllten Zweisamkeit, um die Unmöglichkeit, sich zu finden und sich zu offenbaren kurz, sich zu lieben. Oft sind es Details, die eine Beziehung erschüttern: Ein weißer Strumpf wird in der gleichnamigen Erzählung Anlass für eine Eifersuchtsszene, die ein junges Eheglück erschüttert. Die blauen Mokassins, die in einer Theateraufführung als Requisite dienen, sind Symbol für den unüberbrückbaren Altersunterschied eines Paars. In Verliebt gerät eine junge Frau kurz vor der Hochzeit in eine Krise: Entsetzt merkt sie, dass ihr Bräutigam in sie verliebt ist aber liebt er sie auch? »Du hasst es, dass du mich lieben musst« ( Neue Eva und Alter Adam ), »Du hast mich nie mich selbst sein lassen« ( Frühlingsschatten ), »Mit ihm zusammen: das wäre wie ein Bad in einer andern Art Sonnenschein und hinterher würde man es vergessen« ( Sonne ) wenige Autoren haben so offen über Liebe und Leidenschaft geschrieben wie D. H. Lawrence.

    • Sons and Lovers is a 1913 novel by the English writer D. H. Lawrence, originally published by B.W. Huebsch Publishers. The Modern Library placed it ninth on their list of the 100 best novels of the 20th century. While the novel initially received a lukewarm critical reception, along with allegations of obscenity, it is today regarded as a masterpiece by many critics and is often regarded as Lawrence's finest achievement. Women in Love is a novel by British author D. H. Lawrence, published in 1920. 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

      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.

      »Der stärkste Krimi-Newcomer seit Nicci French.« The Bookseller Als Detective Stella Mooney den Tatort ihres neuen Falles erreicht, bietet sich ihr ein erschreckendes Bild: Vier Menschen sitzen im Kreis, zwei Frauen und zwei Männer, alle vier sind tot. Drei der Toten, so wird sich später herausstellen, starben durch eigene Hand, der vierte jedoch wurde ermordet. Es handelt sich um Jimmy Stone, der seinen Lebensunterhalt auf denkbar makabre Weise verdiente: Er verkaufte Erinnerungsstücke an besonders blutige Verbrechen - kein angenehmer Zeitgenosse, doch wer hatte Grund, ihn zu ermorden?

    • "Extraordinary. Certainly a landmark in the history of psychoanalysis."--Kenneth RexrothThis volume features two profound essays by one of the English language's most famous and controversial authors. D. H. Lawrence wrote Psychoanalysis and the Unconscious and Fantasia of the Unconscious in the early 1920s, during his most productive period. Initially intended as a response to psychoanalytic criticism of his novel Sons and Lovers, these works progressed into a counterproposal to the Freudian psychoanalytic theory of the unconscious and the incest motive. They also voice Lawrence's concepts of education, marriage, and social and political action."This pseudo-philosophy of mine," explained Lawrence, "was deduced from the novels and poems, not the reverse. The absolute need one has for some sort of satisfactory mental attitude towards oneself and things in general makes one try to abstract some definite conclusions from one's experiences as a writer and as a man." With these two essays, the author articulates his insights into the mental struggle to rationalize and reconcile the polarity that exists between emotional and intellectual identities. Critical to understanding Lawrence's other works, they offer a bold synthesis of literary theory and criticism of Freudian psychology.

    • Lawrence's first major novel was also the first in the English language to explore ordinary working-class life from the inside. No writer before or since has written so well about the intimacies enforced by a tightly-knit mining community and by a family where feelings are never hidden for long.When the marriage between Walter Morel and his sensitive, high-minded wife begins to break down, the bitterness of their frustration seeps into their children's lives. Their second son, Paul, craves the warmth of family and community, but knows that he must sacrifice everything in the struggle for independence if he is not to repeat his parents' failure.Lawrence's powerful description of Paul's single-minded efforts to define himself sexually and emotionally through relationships with two women - the innocent, old-fashioned Miriam Leivers and the experienced, provocatively modern Clara Dawes - makes this a novel as much for the beginning of the twenty-first century as it was for the beginning of the twentieth.

    • 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.
