Lady Chatterley's Lover
Famously banned for indecency, Lawrence’s final novel is one of the most notorious and passionate love stories in literature.<BR><BR>Constance Reid, Lady Chatterley, is a young woman trapped in an unfulfilling marriage to an aristocrat whose war wounds have left him paralyzed. After her husband demands that she provide him with an heir, she enters into a liaison with their gamekeeper, a working-class man named Oliver Mellors. As their illicit relationship grows in tenderness, mutual respect, and sensual passion, Constance discovers that true fulfillment requires a real connection of both mind and body. Shocking to its original audience for its cross-class romance as well as for its explicit depictions of sex, the novel has long been hailed as the summit of Lawrence's artistic achievement and one of the most influential novels of the twentieth century.<BR><BR> <BR> <BR><BR>

Der Mann, der Inseln liebte
Wie kann sich der Einzelne in einer Welt, die zunehmend einengender wird, seine Freiheit bewahren? Ein Mann, der Inseln liebt, versucht es auf seine Weise: Er zieht auf eine einsame Insel, um sein eigenes kleines Paradies zu finden. Als er merkt, dass es dort nicht einsam genug ist, sucht er sich eine neue, noch einsamere Insel. Bis er schließlich ganz allein lebt, auf einer Insel mitten im Meer, nur den Elementen ausgesetzt. D. H. Lawrence schrieb diese kurze, geheimnisvolle Anti-Robinsonade 1926, gegen Ende seines Lebens. Wie eine lange verschollene Flaschenpost offenbart sie noch heute, fast hundert Jahre nach der Niederschrift, magische Botschaften. Ob der Mann, der Inseln liebt, am Ende sein Glück findet?

Sons and Lovers (Royal Collector's Edition) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket)
When Gertrude Coppard meets a rough-hewn miner, Walter Morel, at a Christmas dance, she falls into a whirlwind romance characterised by physical passion. But soon after her marriage to Walter, she realises the difficulties of living off his meagre salary in a rented house. The couple fight and drift apart and Walter retreats to the pub after work each day. Gradually, Mrs. Morel's affections shift to her two sons. The sons struggle to balance their reciprocal love of their mother, as they strive for love on their own terms.<BR>D. H. Lawrence believed that his mother had married below her class status. This personal family conflict experienced by Lawrence provided him with the impetus for the first half of his novel - in which both William, the older brother, and Paul Morel become increasingly contemptuous of their father. While Sons and Lovers initially received a lukewarm critical reception, along with allegations of obscenity, it is today regarded as a masterpiece by many critics and is often viewed as Lawrence's finest achievement. This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.<BR>

Sons and Lovers
Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of all time<BR><BR>With a new Introduction by Geoff Dyer<BR> Commentary by Anthony Burgess, Jessie Chambers, Frieda Lawrence, V.S. Pritchett, Kate Millett, and Alfred Kazin<BR> <BR> Of all Lawrence's work, Sons and Lovers tells us most about the emotional source of his ideas," observed Diana Trilling. "The famous Lawrence theme of the struggle for sexual power--and he is sure that all the struggles of civilized life have their root in this primary contest--is the constantly elaborated statement of the fierce battle which tore Lawrence's family."<BR> <BR> Sons and Lovers is one of the landmark novels of the twentieth century. When it appeared in 1913, it was immediately recognized as the first great modern restatement of the oedipal drama, and it is now widely considered the major work of D. H. Lawrence's early period. This intensely autobiographical novel recounts the story of Paul Morel, a young artist growing to manhood in a British working-class family rife with conflict. The author's vivid evocation of the all-consuming nature of possessive love and sexual attraction makes this one of his most powerful novels.<BR> <BR> For the critic Kate Millett, "Sons and Lovers is a great novel because it has the ring of something written from deeply felt experience. The past remembered, it conveys more of Lawrence's own knowledge of life than anything else he wrote. His other novels appear somehow artificial beside it."

Lady Chatterley's Lover
HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved, essential classics.LADY CHATTERLEY'S LOVER was banned on its publication in 1928, creating a storm of controversy. Lawrence tells the story of Constance Chatterley's marriage to Sir Clifford, an aristocratic and an intellectual who is paralyzed from the waist down after the First World War. Desperate for an heir and embarrassed by his inability to satisfy his wife, Clifford suggests that she have an affair. Constance, troubled by her husband's words, finds herself involved in a passionate relationship with their gamekeeper, Oliver Mellors. Lawrence's vitriolic denunciations of industrialism and class division come together in his vivid depiction of the profound emotional and physical connection between a couple otherwise divided by station and society.

Quetzalcoatl
Quetzalcoatl was written during Lawrence's first stay in Mexico, in May and June 1923, and registers his initial responses to those aspects of Mexican landscape, religion, politics and culture which would fascinate him over the following two years. On leaving Mexico in July 1923, he described Quetzalcoatl as 'nearly finished', intending to revise it later, but in the event actually rewrote it almost completely, and it was published as The Plumed Serpent in 1926. This is the first scholarly edition of the original manuscripts and typescripts of Quetzalcoatl, and includes a record of all revisions Lawrence made in the course of writing it, detailed explanatory notes and an introduction outlining its compositional history. With the publication of this volume, all Lawrence's novels, in their first, intermediate and final versions, are now available in the Cambridge edition.

Collected Stories
Lawrence is known mainly as a novelist and poet but he was also the author of many superb short stories and novellas. By bringing together all his shorter fiction, this volume makes it possible to survey his entire writing career. Together with many celebrated stories - including THE PRUSSIAN OFFICIER, THE VIRGIN AND THE GYPSY, ST MAWR and ODOUR OF CHRYSANTHEMUMS - there are many lesser known but still magnificent pieces which show the extraordinary diversity of Lawrence's talent and also reveal an often forgotten talent for comedy.
