Trapped in a marriage which has become sterile and joyless since her husband''s return from the trenches of the First World War, partially paralysed and confined to a wheelchair, Connie seizes the chance of sexual fulfilment she had thought lost to her forever.First published privately in Florence in 1928, it only became a world-wide best-seller after Penguin Books had successfully resisted an attempt by the British Director of Public Prosecutions to prevent them offering an unexpurgated edition. The famous ‘Lady Chatterley trial’ heralded the sexual revolution of the coming decades and signalled the defeat of Establishment prudery.

Connie's unhappy marriage to Clifford Chatterley is one scarred by mutual frustration and alienation. Crippled from wartime action, Clifford is confined to a wheelchair, while Connie's solitary, sterile existence is contained within the narrow parameters of the Chatterley ancestral home, Wragby. She seizes her chance at happiness and freedom when she embarks on a passionate affair with the estate's gamekeeper, Mellors, discovering a world of sexual opportunity and pleasure she'd thought lost to her. The explosive passion of Connie and Mellors' relationship - and the searing candour with which it is described - marked a watershed in twentieth-century fiction, garnering Lady Chatterley's Lover a wide and enduring readership and lasting notoriety. The text is taken from the privately published Author's Unabridged Popular Edition of 1930, the last to be supervised in D. H. Lawrence's lifetime. It also includes his witty essay, My Skirmish with Jolly Roger, describing the pirating of this infamous novel. This Macmillan Collector's Library edition of Lady Chatterley's Lover features an afterword by editor and publisher, Anna South. Designed to appeal to the booklover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles. Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure.

První světová válka skoncovala se "zlatým věkem" - a zjišťuje to i sir Clifford Chatterley. Majitel panství Wragby ležícího v kraji uhlí a železa se z fronty vrátil jako invalida na těle i na duši, a tak svou choť Connii nyní týrá metodami, jaké ovládají jedině blahosklonní britští gentlemani. Je pouze otázkou času, kdy mladá zámecká paní v necitelném prostředí najde spřízněnou duši: stane se jí Mellors, jejich svérázný myslivec a muž nejméně o dvě společenské příčky níž. Příběh o neslýchané cizoložné lásce, jehož intimní pasáže sklidily bouři nevole údajně mravné společnosti, vyťal políček britskému kastovnictví. Přináší však i svěží rozpravu o probouzejícím se právu ženy na tělesné uspokojení, partnerské štěstí a vlastní životní cestu. To vše je nicméně pro zamilovanou lady Connii obtížně dosažitelné, protože do lůna Anglie se zarylo nejen neplodné pokrytectví, ale i těžební jámy, nerudnost a zášť. Svůj vrcholný román, přes třicet let pronásledovaný ostrovními úřady jako "pornografický", byl Lawrence nucen vydat v Itálii. Rok před autorovou smrtí vyšel ve Francii. První americké vydání (1959) mělo za následek, že se redaktoři nakladatelství Penguin ocitli na lavici obžalovaných. Vlna solidarity na obranu převratné knihy vzápětí prokázala, že další policejní perzekuce je neudržitelná, a tak se i v autorově vlasti objevila v desítkách vydání a v řadě filmových adaptací. Čeští čtenáři ji přesto mohli číst už roku 1930 v převodu Staši Jílovské. Nynější třetí česká verze navazuje na virtuózní moderní překlad, který v roce 1987 pořídil František Vrba.

Kniha Davida Herberta Lawrence z roku 1928 způsobila okamžitě po svém vydání skandál. Ve spisovatelově rodné Velké Británii nesměla být vydávána dokonce až do 60. let, neboť příběh mileneckého vztahu mezi urozenou Constance a mužem z nižší společenské třídy byl pokládán za obscénní, až pornografický. V češtině byla kniha vydána už v roce 1930, a tak mohli čeští čtenáři brzy zjistit, že se jedná o mimořádně působivý erotický příběh s nespornou uměleckou hodnotou. Vypráví o osamělosti, pokrytectví, pomalu se probouzející vášni a také touze po mateřství. Sexuální naplnění, které zažívá vdaná lady Chatterlyová s hajným svého muže Oliverem Mellorsem, je především úlevným únikem z mezilidských vztahů sešněrovaných konvencí.

Audiokniha: Román Lady Chatterley's Lover, 1928, Milenec lady Chatterleyové, vzbudil po svém vydání senzaci a pobouření! Policejně byl zakázán a ještě v roce 1960 se nakladatelství Penguin Books ocitlo na lavici obžalovaných, když knihu vydalo. V proslulém soudním procesu, v němž na obranu Lawrencova románu vystoupila řada věhlasných spisovatelů a literárních vědců, byl román shledán nevinným a zbaven nařčení z pornografie. Je pravda, že autor líčí erotické scény s velkou otevřeností. Nejsou však samoúčelné. Jde o společenský román o lidských vztazích na přelomu dvou epoch, s důrazem na hluboký a pravdivý erotický vztah mezi mužem a ženou, který má vliv na emancipaci člověka a společnosti. Toto dílo v konečném důsledku autora nejvíce proslavilo a stalo se námětem řady filmů a TV inscenací (1955 – film Francie, 1981 koprodukční film Velká Británie, Francie, Německo, 1998 dvoudílný film ČT v režii Viktora Polesného, 2006 koprodukční film Belgie, Francie, 2015 britský TV film). Vydavatelství AudioStory v roce 2021 slaví 30 let existence a jako druhý titul ke svým kulatinám natočilo tento společenský román D.H. Lawrence v původním překladu Františka Vrby.

Audiokniha: Příběh nerovné živočišné lásky v jednom z nejskandálnějších románů první poloviny 20. století. Poprvé vyšel na konci dvacátých let ve Florencii a v Paříži, ovšem v autorově rodné Británii bylo jeho vydávání zakázáno až do šedesátých let. Takže si jej angličtí kulturní turisté přiváželi z výletu na kontinent tajně jako pikantní suvenýr, což možná ještě přiživovalo jeho 'špatnou pověst'. Mimochodem, v češtině vyšla kniha poprvé už v roce 1930 ? a žádný skandál nevyvolala. Snad to bylo i tím, že čeští čtenáři asi tak silně neprožívali ostrou kritiku britské společnosti, jež za Kanálem mohla u řady schvalovatelů a zakazovatelů vyvolávat prudší nesouhlas než domnělá obscénnost knihy. Protože Milenec lady Chatterleyové je možná erotický román, určitě však ne obscénní. Byť hranice mezi těmito výrazy vždy byla a bude hodně pohyblivá. D. H. Lawrence (1885-1930) se úspěchu své knihy nedočkal, zemřel pouhý rok po jejím prvním vydání. A vlastně by musel čekat dlouhá desetiletí, než se kniha stala součástí literárního kánonu a vysokoškolských skript, než se stala jednou z vůbec nejfilmovanějších knih, a hlavně knih nejčtenějších. Milostný příběh mladé aristokratky Constance, která si místo svého urozeného (a želbohu invalidního) manžela zvolí 'obyčejného hajného' dnes už žádný skandál nevyvolá; stále nás však muže oslovit a dojmout - a vzrušit - nejen mimořádnými literárními kvalitami, ale především silou vášně obou milenců i samotného autora.

James Joyce’s astonishing masterpiece, Ulysses, tells of the diverse events which befall Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus in Dublin on 16 June 1904, during which Bloom’s voluptuous wife, Molly, commits adultery.Initially deemed obscene in England and the USA, this richly-allusive novel, revolutionary in its Modernistic experimentalism, was hailed as a work of genius by W. B. Yeats, T. S. Eliot and Ernest Hemingway.Scandalously frank, wittily erudite, mercurially eloquent, resourcefully comic and generously humane, Ulysses offers the reader a life-changing experience.

Famed for his lyrical prose, he was uncompromising in his mission to uncover the consequences of modernity and industrialization, particularly on sexuality, instinct, and spontaneity.

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.

Ženy milující jsou nejen románem vášní, ale i svérázným druhem románu ideí. Obsahují nespočet úvah o existenci jedince, společnosti, národa a lidstva. Sám D. H. Lawrence pokládal tento román za své nejlepší dílo. Jeho osou je komplikovaný, neustále se proměňující vztah dvou mileneckých párů, z nichž jeden dospívá přes ostré konflikty k životnímu naplnění, zatímco druhý se tragicky rozpadá. Jako by Ursula s Birkinem a Gudrun s Geraldem ztělesňovali typickou lawrenceovskou polaritu lásky a nenávisti, vzniku a zániku, života a smrti, tvoření a ničení stupňovaného až k sebezničení. Román se soustřeďuje na analýzu vztahů obou sester k sobě, k okolí a především k milencům. Kvarteto milenců doplňují další četné postavy a vztahové propletence, které Lawrence s úžasným citem analyzuje. Do všech jeho děl se s neobyčejnou intenzitou promítaly jeho subjektivní životní zkušenosti. Je až nevídané, jak mistrně a s nebývalou empatií dokázal vystihnout ženskou psychiku a sexualitu.

Its lyricism, comedy (both broad and subtle) and magical transformations have long made A Midsummer Night's Dream one of the most popular of Shakespeare's works. The supernatural and the mundane, the illusory and the substantial, are all shimmeringly blended. Love is treated as tragic, poignant, absurd and farcical.'Lord, what fools these mortals be!', jeers Robin Goodfellow; but the joke may be on him and on his master Oberon when Bottom the weaver, his head transformed into that of an ass, is embraced by the voluptuously amorous Titania. Recent stage-productions of A Midsummer Night's Dream have emphasised the enchanting, spectacular, ambiguous and erotically joyous aspects of this magical drama which culminates in a multiple celebration of marriage.

eBook: In these essays, written not long after his elopement with Frieda von Richtofen in 1912, D.H. Lawrence recorded much of what he saw and felt as he traveled with her from Bavaria to Gargano. TWILIGHT IN ITALY is not autobiographical, nor can it be labeled as travel sketches. Most of the pieces are vivid, sensitive, masterful, often rhapsodic impressions of the Italian countryside and the Italian temper. With his genius for combining psychological perception, sociological insight, and personal enthusiasm, Lawrence transforms ordinary rights of passages into intense beauty.

eBook: D.H. Lawrence's great autobiographical novel is a provocative portrait of an artist torn between love for his possessive mother and desire for two young beautiful women. Set in the Nottinghamshire coal fields of Lawrence's own boyhood, the story of young Paul Morel's growing into manhood in a British working-class family rife with conflict reveals both an inner and an outer world seething with intense emotions. Gertrude is Paul's puritanical mother who concentrates all her love and attention on her son Paul. She nurtures his talents as a painter - and when she broods that he might marry someday and desert her, he swears he will never leave her. Inevitably, Paul does fall in love, but with two women - and is unable to choose between them. Written early in Lawrence's literary career, Sons and Lovers possesses all the powers of description, insistent sensuality, and scathing social criticism that are the special hallmarks of his genius. "A work of striking originality," writes the critic F.R. Leavis, by "the greatest creative writer in English of our time."

Lawrence composed Women in Love while at the height of his powers, and indeed, in its blend of lyricism, psychological revelation, and an eroticism that is never very far from violence, it can still startle and even discomfit readers. In this story of two very unconventional sisters, Ursula and Gudrun Brangwen, and the men they love, Lawrence argues urgently for a new conjunction between man and woman as \"two pure beings, each constituting the freedom of the other.\" The ardent struggle of human souls coming into being, and into relationship with one another, is at the heart of Women in Love, and this wrenching, sometimes painful, thoroughly exhilarating process is brilliantly illuminated in Lawrence\'s masterpiece.

eBook: 'Fantasia of the Unconscious' is Lawrence's profound reflection on the nature of our consciousness and our unconsciousness. He delivers a convincing, accurate, and somewhat controversial argument about how the world works, and how one should raise a child. Despite being written in 1922, this essay is increasingly relevant in today's social climate and is unmissable for fans of Anton Chekhov's psychological fiction looking to delve into the more theoretical side of the subject.

eBook: The Rocking-Horse Winner\" is a short story by D. H. Lawrence. The story describes a young middle-class Englishwoman who \"had no luck.\" Though outwardly successful, she is haunted by a sense of failure; her husband is a ne\'er-do-well and her work as a commercial artist doesn\'t earn as much as she\'d like. The family\'s lifestyle exceeds its income and unspoken anxiety about money permeates the household. Her children, a son Paul and his two sisters, sense this anxiety; moreover, the kids even claim they can hear the house whispering \"There must be more money.\" Paul tells his Uncle Oscar Cresswell about betting on horse races with Bassett, the gardener. He\'s been placing bets using his pocket money and has won and saved three hundred twenty pounds. Sometimes he says he is \"sure\" of a winner for an upcoming race, and the horses he names do in fact win, sometimes at remarkable odds. Uncle Oscar and Bassett both place large bets on the horses Paul names. After further winning, Paul and Oscar arrange to give the mother a gift of five thousand pounds, but the gift only lets her spend more. Disappointed, Paul tries harder than ever to be \"lucky.\" As the Derby approaches, Paul is determined to learn the winner. Concerned about his health, his mother rushes home from a party and discovers his secret. He has been spending hours riding his rocking horse, sometimes all night long, until he \"gets there,\" into a clairvoyant state where he can be sure of the winner\'s name. Paul remains ill through the day of the Derby. Informed by Cresswell, Bassett has placed Paul\'s bet on Malabar, at fourteen to one. When he is informed by Bassett that he now has 80,000 pounds, Paul says to his mother: \"I never told you, mother, that if I can ride my horse, and get there, then I\'m absolutely sure - oh absolutely! Mother, did I ever tell you? I am lucky!\" \"No, you never did,\" said his mother. The boy dies in the night and his mother hears her brother say, \"My God, Hester, you\'re eighty-odd thousand to the good, and a poor devil of a son to the bad. But, poor devil, poor devil, he\'s best gone out of a life where he rides his rocking horse to find a winner.

eBook: Lawrence asserted that 'the proper function of a critic is to save the tale from the artist who created it'. In these highly individual, penetrating essays he has exposed 'the American whole soul' within some of that continent's major works of literature. In seeking to establish the status of writings by such authors as Poe, Melville, Fenimore Cooper and Whitman, Lawrence himself has created a classic work. Studies in Classic American Literature is valuable not only for the light it sheds on eighteenth- and nineteenth-cetntury American consciousness, telling 'the truth of the day', but also as a prime example of Lawrence's learning, passion and integrity of judgement.

eBook: Lawrence ... describes the poems [in this first collection of his unrhymed poems] as "intended as an essential story, or history, or confession", the critical experience occurring in the period of, "roughly, the sixth lustre of a man's life"-that is, from the age of 25 to 30. His Argument emphasizes the dramatic nature of the sequence. He speaks of "the protagonist" and of "the conflict of love and hate [that] goes on between the man and the woman, and between these two and the world around them, till it reaches some sort of conclusion, they transcend into some condition of blessedness". Foreword and Argument complement each other: Look! is both a personal confession and a drama. In both respects, it is closely related to the three novels which belong to the same period, 1912-1917.
