First published in 1911, The White Peacock is the first novel of David Herbert Lawrence. "The White Peacock" is both a fascinating precursor of the more famous novels to come and a moving and challenging book in its own right.The White Peacock follows a group of young friends living in the English midlands. The plot is narrated by Cyril Beardsall and focuses in particular on the relationship of his sister Lettie with two admirers, the more handsome and down to earth George and the more effete gentleman Leslie.The novel is a compelling exploration of the estrangements of modern life. Focusing on the three relationships - one destructively stillborn, one disastrously unfulfilling and one passionately unspoken - Lawrence exploits the language and conventions of the rural tradition to foreground mans alienation from the natural world. His evocation of the vanishing countryside of the English midlands, as soon through the eyes of the effete Cyril Beardsall, is both vivid and arresting, and as the novel draws towards its tragic conclusion Lawrence handles his themes with an increasingly visionary power.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
