This is the "Penguin English Library Edition" of "Sons and Lovers" by D. H. Lawrence. '"She was a brazen hussy." "She wasn't. - And she was pretty, wasn't she?" "I didn't look...And tell your girls, my son, that when they're running after you, they're not to come and ask your mother for you - tell them that - brazen baggages you meet at dancing classes"'. 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. Set in Lawrence's native Nottinghamshire, "Sons and Lovers" is a highly autobiographical and compelling portrayal of childhood, adolescence and the clash of generations. "The Penguin English Library" - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.

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."

eBook: Written when he was living in Sicily, Sea and Sardinia records Lawrence's journey to Sardinia in 1921. It reveals his delighted response to a new landscape and people and his uncanny ability to transm ute the the spirit of place into literary art but, like his other travel writings, it is also a shrewd enquiry into the political and social values of an era which saw the rise of communism and fascism. This edition restores censored passages and corrupt readings to reveal the book Lawrence himself called 'a marvel of veracity'.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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: One of the greatest of twentieth-century novelists and poets, D. H. Lawrence wrote and lived with a passionate intensity that shocked his contemporaries. 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: 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.

That is simply because there is no show that is more iconic or beloved than Friends. It didn't matter that their apartment was unrealistic by New York City's standards or that they always had enough free time to hang out in a coffee shop, they were our friends, they were us. And over the last twenty-seven years, it has yet to lose its title of the greatest sitcom of all time. Yet, the nostalgia and the truth about their relationships is a story that only Matthew Perry could tell? Especially as his addiction soared faster than his career.

The beloved star of Friends takes us behind the scenes of the hit sitcom and his struggles with addiction in this candid, funny, and revelatory memoir that delivers a powerful message of hope and persistence.'Hi, my name is Matthew, although you may know me by another name. My friends call me Matty. AndI should be dead.'So begins the riveting story of acclaimed actor Matthew Perry, taking us along on his journey from childhood ambition to fame to addiction and recovery in the aftermath of a life-threatening health scare. Before the frequent hospital visits and stints in rehab, there was five-year-old Matthew, who travelled from Montreal to Los Angeles, shuffling between his separated parents; fourteen-year-old Matthew, who was a nationally ranked tennis star in Canada; twenty-four-year-old Matthew, who nabbed a coveted role as a lead cast member on the talked-about pilot then called Friends Like Us. . . and so much more.In an extraordinary story that only he could tell - and in the heartfelt, hilarious, and warmly familiar way only he could tell it - Matthew Perry lays bare the fractured family that raised him (and also left him to his own devices), the desire for recognition that drove him to fame, and the void inside him that could not be filled even by his greatest dreams coming true. But he also details the peace he's found in sobriety and how he feels about the ubiquity of Friends, sharing stories about his castmates and other stars he met along the way. Frank, self-aware, and with his trademark humour, Perry vividly depicts his lifelong battle with addiction and what fuelled it despite seemingly having it all.Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing is an unforgettable memoir that is both intimate and eye-opening - as well as a hand extended to anyone struggling with sobriety. Unflinchingly honest, moving, and uproariously funny, this is the book fans have been waiting for.

In an extraordinary story that only he could tell - and in the heartfelt, hilarious, and warmly familiar way only he could tell it - Matthew Perry lays bare the fractured family that raised him (and also left him to his own devices), the desire for recognition that drove him to fame, and the void inside him that could not be filled even by his greatest dreams coming true.But he also details the peace he's found in sobriety and how he feels about the ubiquity of Friends, sharing stories about his castmates and other stars he met along the way. Frank, self-aware, and with his trademark humour, Perry vividly depicts his lifelong battle with addiction and what fuelled it despite seemingly having it all. Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing is an unforgettable memoir that is both intimate and eye-opening - as well as a hand extended to anyone struggling with sobriety.Unflinchingly honest, moving, and uproariously funny, this is the book fans have been waiting for.

Turgenev''s masterpiece about the conflict between generations is as fresh, outspoken, and exciting today as it was in when it was first published in 1862. The controversial portrait of Bazarov, the energetic, cynical, and self-assured `nihilist'' who repudiates the romanticism of his elders, shook Russian society. Indeed the image of humanity liberated by science from age-old conformities and prejudices is one that can threaten establishments of any political or religious persuasion, and is especially potent in the modern era. This new translation, specially commissioned for the World''s Classics, is the first to draw on Turgenev''s working manuscript, which only came to light in 1988. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

A sharp and poignant snapshot of the crises of youth - from the acclaimed author of The Catcher in the Rye'Everything everybody does is so - I don't know - not wrong, or even mean, or even stupid necessarily. But just so tiny and meaningless and - sad-making. And the worst part is, if you go bohemian or something crazy like that, you're conforming just as much only in a different way.'First published in the New Yorker as two sequential stories, 'Franny' and 'Zooey' offer a dual portrait of the two youngest members of J. D. Salinger's fictional Glass family.'Salinger's masterpiece' Guardian

A heartfelt retelling of an ancient Irish tale by a master storyteller, paired with the extraordinary style of an award-winning illustrator.When young Kevin is sent to a monastery to be cared for, he yearns for the freedom of the woods and fields and misses his parents. One day he reaches out through the cell window towards the light and a blackbird lands in his hands and begins to build a nest there. Kevin waits patiently as the eggs are laid and the baby birds hatch. When they spread their tiny wings and fly off, three new wild things gone out into the world, at last Kevin can rest. PJ Lynch’s atmospheric illustrations perfectly capture David Almond’s moving retelling of this ancient Irish tale about the love of nature and a willingness to let go.

The 30th and final Elmer storybook from BookTrust Lifetime Achievement Award winner David McKee, about caring for elderly family members, featuring a reading guide and a link to online resources from Alzheimer's Research UK. Aunt Zelda has a gift to give to Elmer from his Grandpa Eldo, but she can't remember what it is or where it is. Zelda's memory sometimes escapes her, and her hearing isn't what it used to be, so they set off together to find Grandpa Eldo and solve the mystery of the forgotten gift. In his 30th storybook, Elmer's love, patience and respect for his Aunt Zelda and Grandpa Eldo makes for a heart-warming depiction of family life with elderly relatives, and deftly deals with themes relating to dementia with love and respect.
