Kde se rozmanitost setkává s hodnotou - Katalo.cz

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.

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: 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."

Svazek Poslední smích je výborem z Lawrenceovy povídkové tvorby, kterou zatím český čtenář v úplnosti nepoznal. Výbor se soustředí na dosud nepřeložené texty a čerpá ze všech vydaných povídkových souborů i textů, jež zůstaly mimo sbírky. Podobně jako jeho romány se i povídky zabývají především mezilidskými vztahy, velice často však bývají okořeněny jiskřivým humorem, komikou, satirou. Klíčovými postavami bývají ženy středního věku, jež při své složité psychice obtížně hledají pochopení okolí, a současně muži, kteří pro svou omezenost a samolibost, případně pohodlnost a nedostatečnou vnímavost takového pochopení nejsou schopni.

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.

Designed to appeal to the book lover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautifully bound pocket-sized gift editions of much loved classic titles. Bound in real cloth, printed on high quality paper, and featuring ribbon markers and gilt edges, Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure. 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 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 features an afterword by Anna South.

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.

eBook: Published in 1916, Amores is one of Lawrence's earliest poetry collections. He carefully explores issues of a haunting, sensual, and sexual nature. Fans of Virginia Woolf's somewhat bleak voice will undoubtedly enjoy this controversial collection. D.H. Lawrence (1885-1930) was an English poet and novelist. 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. His works, although innovative, were not truly appreciated until after his death, the most notable of which 'Lady Chatterley's Lover' was adapted to screen in 1981.

Audiokniha: Anglický spisovatel David Herbert Lawrence v povídce vykreslil tragický příběh Američanky, která se rozhodla opustit pohodlný stereotypní život v manželství se dvěma dětmi. A z touhy po nových zážitcích se vydala mezi domorodé indiány. Lawrenceovy názory si vysloužily mnoho nepřátel a během druhé poloviny svého života snášel pronásledování, cenzuru a zkreslování své tvůrčí práce. Román Milenec lady Chatterelyové (1928) byl ve své době pokládán za kontroverzní až pornografické dílo.

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.
