'Everyone who met him commented on the arresting power of Lawrence's bright and sharp blue eyes, and the beard he later grew would be as red as a fox's brush, but it was not his appearance that Ford was describing. It was his menace' Frances Wilson, from her Introduction to The Man Who Loves Islands------------------------------------------------The Man Who Loved Islands presents Lawrence's skilled, intimate and lively portraits of humanity. In the title story a man buys a ninety-nine year lease on an island and finds himself cast off in its timeless world; in 'The Last Laugh' a couple are confronted with uncanny spectral visions, and an eerie faceless laugh; in 'The Fox' two women maintaining a farm feel the dark shadows of war, and a cunning creature threatens to destroy their livelihood. The stories in this collection are about what the characters know and do not know - about themselves, one another, and the circumambient universe.
In "S hne und Liebhaber" portr tiert D. H. Lawrence den jungen K nstler Paul Morel, welcher in einem emotionalen Gef ngnis gefangen ist - gefesselt von der berw ltigenden, doch ungesunden Liebe seiner Mutter. Diese unheilvolle Bindung vergiftet all seine sp teren Beziehungen und f hrt zu einem zerm rbenden Wechselspiel aus Anziehung und Absto ung, ein Konflikt, wie ihn Shakespeare mit "I love and hate her" (Cymbeline, III, 5) auf den Punkt bringt. Lawrences schonungslose Offenlegung menschlicher Abh ngigkeiten verleiht dem Roman eine zeitlose Intensit t. Obwohl das Werk bei seinem Erscheinen als anst ig kritisiert wurde, gilt es heute als eines der bedeutendsten literarischen Werke des 20. Jahrhunderts - die Modern Library platzierte es 1999 auf Rang 9 der besten englischsprachigen Romane. Erstmals erschienen 1913. Hier in der vielgelesenen bersetzung von Franz Franzius.

'A work whose power stands the test of time' Sunday Times Set in 1900s, this is a lushly descriptive and highly autobiographical portrayal of a young man growing up in class-divided Nottingham.Paul Morel is the focus of his disappointed and fiercely protective mother's life. Their tender, devoted and intense bond comes under strain when Paul falls in love with Miriam Leivers, a local girl his mother disapproves of. The arrival of the provocatively modern Clara Dawes causes further tension and Paul is torn between his individual desires and family allegiances. Set in a Nottinghamshire mining town at the turn of the twentieth century, this is a powerful portrayal of family and love in all its forms.WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY RICHARD EYRE

Subject of an infamous obscenity trial, Lady Chatterley's Lover is now regarded as one of the pivotal novels of the twentieth century. Clifford Chatterley returns from the First World War as an invalid.
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-century American consciousness, telling 'the truth of the day', but also as a prime example of Lawrence's learning, passion and integrity of judgement.
Written during the winter of 1929-30 and his last major work, Apocalypse is Lawrence's radical criticism of the political, religious and social structures that have shaped Western civilization. In his view the perpetual conflict within man, in which emotion, instinct and the senses vie with the intellect and reason, has resulted in society's increasing alienation from the natural world. Yet Lawrence's belief in humanity's power to regain the imaginative and spiritual values which alone can revitalize our world also makes Apocalypse a powerful statement of hope. Presenting his thoughts on psychology, science, politics, art, God and man, and including a fierce protest against Christianity, Apocalypse is Lawrence's last testament, his final attempt to convey his vision of man and of the cosmos.
Banned, burned, and the subject of a landmark obscenity trial, Lawrence's lyric and sensual last novel is now regarded as "our time's most significant romance." -- "The New York Times. "This classic tale of love and discovery pits the paralyzed and callous Clifford Chatterley against his indecisive wife and her persuasive lover.
Robert Darroch has long had an interest in D.H. Lawrence's time in Australia and the novel he wrote there in 1922, Kangaroo. Currently he is President of the D.H. Lawrence Society of Australia, which he helped found in 1992. In 1980 he wrote a book about Lawrence's Australian visit, D.H. Lawrence in Australia, and has written numerous articles on the subject, several of which have been published in the main Lawrence journal, the D.H. Lawrence Review. He is a former journalist and now runs an internet publishing company in Australia. In 1972, at the University of Texas in Austin, where he was helping his wife researching her biography of Lady Ottoline Morrell, they were summoned to the office of the Director of the Humanities Research Center (Dr Warren Roberts - Lawrence's bibliographer) who suggested that, being Australians, they look into Lawrence's time in Australia, and the novel he wrote there. Roberts had just been named as general editor of a Critical Edition of Lawrence's literary works and was looking for editors of the various editions. What Darroch did not learn until five years later was that the editor Roberts had originally chosen for Kangaroo (a fellow American bibliographer) had recently been murdered. The coincidence that two Australians were doing research at his Center apparently afforded him the opportunity to find a replacement. Shortly after this (no doubt at Dr. Roberts' suggestion) the publisher of the Cambridge University Press asked Robert Darroch to put in a proposal to edit Kangaroo. In the event, Darroch's proposal was not accepted (though he and Roberts kept on the best of terms) Now, four decades on, Darroch has edited a new edition of Kangaroo, with the text, and its ending, Roberts believed Lawrence "really wanted."
In Aaron's Rod, a satirical, ultra-masculine narrative with unconsciously homosexual undertones by controversial literary legend D.H. Lawrence, protagonist Aaron Sisson has grown tired of his dulling marriage and monotonous daily life working a desk job for a coal mine business in the Midlands of England. He abandons his wife and children to chase dreams of fame and fortune as a professional flutist, and embarks on an impulsive trip to Italy. There, he networks in various inner circles of artists, intellects and socialites, soon meeting the mesmerizing writer Rawdon Lilly, who acts as Aaron's pseudo-spiritual guru in this thrilling new world free of domestic duties, and sparks a "bromance" that just may shift Aaron's impression of himself, life and art forever...With a sharp introduction by David McConnell, author of the forthcoming The Beads (ITNA, 2023) and winner of the 2014 Stonewall Book Award for his non-fiction work American Honor Killings: Desire and Rage Among Men (Akashic, 2013), this new edition of Aaron's Rod, as part of the ITNA ICONS collection, is a fascinating portrayal of a burnt-out working-class man of early twentieth century England, replete with the polarizing, often frankly misogynistic themes that made the book the target of controversy.
