DAVID HERBERT LAWRENCE, página 2 de 4

Inválido de guerra, Sir Clifford Chatterley lleva junto a su esposa Connie una existencia acomodada, aparentemente plácida, rodeada de los placeres burgueses de las reuniones sociales y regida por los correctos terminos que deben ser propios de todo buen matrimonio. Connie, sin embargo, no puede evitar sentir un vacio vital. La irrupcion en su vida de Mellors, el guardabosque de la mansion familiar, la pondra en contacto con las energias mas primarias e instintivas y relacionadas con la vida. La fuerte corriente relacionada con la energia sexual que recorre casi toda la obra de D. H Lawrence encuentra una de sus maximas expresiones en" El amante de Lady Chatterley" , novela que se vio envuelta en la polemica y el escandalo desde el momento de su aparicion.

Una donna giovane e insoddisfatta lascia marito e figli e si avventura da sola sulle montagne messicane per incontrare gli indiani discendenti da Montezuma e dai re aztechi che le abitano e conoscere i loro dei. Le basta imboccare un piccolo sentiero per inoltrarsi in un altro mondo, in un clima rarefatto e contagioso. Incontrera i suoi indiani: sinuosi, insidiosi, femminei, feroci; spaventosamente impersonali e, come quel mondo, inumani.

First published in London in 1914, The Prussian Officer by David Herbert Lawrence is part of his collection The Prussian Officer and Other Stories and it is considered by some critics as one of the worlds masterpieces of short fiction.The plot of the story is so simple and its two characters are so stark as to be archetypal. An aristocratic Prussian captain becomes obsessed with his uncomplicated young orderly but deals with the obsession by repressing it, humiliating and physically mistreating the young man...a situation that will have dramatic consequences.The Prussian Officer is noted for its representation of sexual repression, and the emotional toll it can take on the body, mind, and spirit. Lawrence uses three repeated motifs in the story to build tension between the characters: neck, dryness or thirst, and the colour red. These motifs circle around each other, expressing the unspoken desire of the Captain and the building violence between the two men. In The Prussian Officer, sexual repression is fatal for both the object of affection and the man repressing his feelings.

Publicada en 1916, "Mujeres enamoradas" es una obra maestra del autor británico David Herbert Lawrence. Se trata de una historia donde la sexualidad y el amor son el motor principal a través de las relaciones de dos hermanas con dos hombres muy diferentes. En "Mujeres enamoradas" Lawrence explora su naturaleza a traves de la historia de las hermanas Brangwen -Ursula y Gudrun- y sus relaciones con Rupert Birkiny Gerald Crich. Los cuatro se enfrentan en su modo de pensar, sus pasiones y creencias mientras buscan una vida completa y sincera. Lawrence habia empezado en 1913 una novela que iba a titularse "Las hermanas" y que, con el tiempo y despues de varias versiones, se convertiria en dos, "El arco iris" y "Mujeres enamoradas".Por tanto, "Mujeres enamoradas" es la continuacion de "El arco iris" que, acusado de obscenidad en 1915, habia sido destruido. Como consecuencia, la primera edicion de "Mujeres enamoradas" hubo de publicarse en America en 1920, de manera privada y solo para suscriptores. Cuando en 1921 se publico en Londres, un critico califico a este clasico contemporaneo como una epica del vicio.

The third published novel of D. H. Lawrence, taken by many to be his earliest masterpiece, tells the story of Paul Morel, a young man and budding artist. Richard Aldington explains the semi-autobiographical nature of his masterpiece:When you have experienced Sons and Lovers you have lived through the agonies of the young Lawrence striving to win free from his old life. Generally, it is not only considered as an evocative portrayal of working-class life in a mining community, but also an intense study of family, class and early sexual relationships.

David Herbert Lawrences "The Rainbow" is a pioneering exploration of human sexuality and the intricacies of relationships set against the backdrop of early 20th-century England. Written in Lawrences signature modernist style, the novel intertwines lyrical prose with rich symbolism, revealing the emotional and spiritual depths of its characters. Through the lives of three generations of the Brangwen family, the narrative delves into themes of individuality, love, and the clash between tradition and modernity, ultimately portraying the tension between personal desires and societal expectations. The seamless flow of the narrative invites readers into the vivid tapestry of rural life, challenging conventional moralities of the time. David Herbert Lawrence was an influential figure of the early 20th century, known for his candid examinations of human psychology and sexuality. Born in 1885 in the industrial Midlands of England, Lawrences own experiences shaped his views on relationships and social structures. His observation of the rapidly changing world around him, coupled with his interest in psychosexual dynamics, provided fertile ground for the themes explored in "The Rainbow," which was initially met with controversy due to its frank portrayal of sexual relationships. Highly recommended for readers interested in modernist literature, "The Rainbow" offers profound insights into the complexities of love and identity, making it a timeless study of human experience. Lawrences novel challenges readers to reflect on their own lives and relationships, making it an essential read for those curious about the intersection of art, sexuality, and societal norms.

¿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.

The story concerns a young married woman, Constance (Lady Chatterley), whose upper class husband, Clifford Chatterley, described as a handsome, well-built man, has been paralysed from the waist down due to a Great War injury. In addition to Cliffords physical limitations, his emotional neglect of Constance forces distance between the couple. Her sexual frustration leads her into an affair with the gamekeeper, Oliver Mellors. The class difference between the couple highlights a major motif of the novel which is the unfair dominance of intellectuals over the working class. The novel is about Constances realization that she cannot live with the mind alone; she must also be alive physically. This realization stems from a heightened sexual experience Constance has only felt with Mellors, suggesting that love can only happen with the element of the body, not the mind.

Alvina Houghton, the daughter of a widowed Midlands draper, comes of age just as her fathers business is failing. In a desperate attempt to regain his fortune and secure his daughters proper upbringing, James Houghton buys a theater. Among the traveling performers he employs is Ciccio, a sensual Italian who immediately captures Alvinas attention. Fleeing with him to Naples, she leaves her safe world behind and enters one of sexual awakening, desire, and fleeting freedom.

The story chronicles the journey of fallen German aristocrat Countess Johanna Hannele zu Rassentlow as she dates a Scottish officer of unusual philosophy. The relationship develops into one of D. H. Lawrences idiosyncratic wicked triangles. The intimate relationship between Captain Alexander Hepburn and Hannele is intruded upon when the captains wife Evangeline travels to Germany suspicious of foul play. The plot unfolds with two parallel narratives; one in the symbolic domain, the other a traditional short story narrative about these protagonists. The concurrent symbolic tale that unfolds centers around the central image of The Captains Dollafter which the story gains its title. This doll is a striking portrait of the Captain, with his "slender legs" and mesmerizing dark stare encapsulated in the silks and calico of a lifeless, inanimate object. This doll is an ongoing motif throughout the story as it acts as a metaphor for the dehumanizing effects of war on Hepburn an English gentleman who had been part of the war machine and in the aftermath has come to believe that "we are worth so very little".
