D. H. Lawrence

In a world where passion defies the rigid boundaries of class and convention, a forbidden love story unfolds, challenging the very fabric of 1920s England. This romantic fiction, once deemed a controversial novel, has been out of print for decades and is now republished by Alpha Editions. With its pages restored for today's and future generations, this edition is not just a reprint-it's a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Set against the backdrop of a post-war society, the narrative delves into the complexities of human relationships and the stark class conflict that defined an era. The story's raw exploration of intimacy and desire echoes the works of literary giants like Thomas Hardy and E. M. Forster, offering readers a profound literary analysis of the human condition. As the characters navigate their turbulent emotions and societal expectations, they reveal timeless truths about love, identity, and the courage to defy norms. For adult readers and classic-collection enthusiasts alike, this literary classic remains as relevant now as it was in its time, offering a poignant reflection on the enduring struggle for personal freedom and authenticity. Revisit this masterpiece, a testament to the power of love and the resilience of the human spirit, now beautifully restored and ready to captivate a new generation of readers.

Lawrence's 1922 novel explores the ideas of Nietzsche through the character of Aaron Sisson, a coal minor and amateur flautist who dreams of greater things. Sisson, who abandons his wife and children, journeys through the intellectual and artistic circles of Italy, and ultimately finds redemption in the arms of an older woman.

90 classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin BooksThis small group of stories by D. H. Lawrence show him in a number of moods. The hope is that in such a limited number of pages, the reader will come away with a compressed, rich sense of Lawrence’s wonderful prose style, precision of language and expansive vision of the human struggle and how it can be transcended. Is ‘Odour of Chrysanthemums’ perhaps the greatest of all English short stories?

Like his fiction, D.H. Lawrence's poetry is infused with the same bold, experimental spirit that anitmated the work of his greatest contemporaries while at the same time being profoundly idiosyncratic-it rings out in an inimitable voice and bears the impress of a unique sensibility. The verses collected in Bird, Beasts, and Flowers are lent a sharpness and depth by Lawrence's thinking on religious and political subjects, but they are first and foremost a remarkable exploration of the natural world and what it means to live within and alongside it. Characterised throughout by their author's frankness, pugnacity, and unmembarrassed sensuality, they also make unmistakably apparent the technical mastery that continues to make Lawrence a poet to be reckoned with.

D.H. Lawrence (1885–1930) var en av sin tids mest omtalte forfattere, blant annet kalt profet, pornograf, provokatør og radikaler. Fugler, beist og blomster ble utgitt i 1923. Diktene er ofte frodige, frekke og lekende, men de viser også et forbausende følsomt og nærværende blikk for naturen, en natur Lawrence mente allerede da var utplyndret og i ferd med å forsvinne. I disse idéhistorisk rike dyre- og plantediktene er det plass til alt fra ørnas luftige svev, til tvekamp med en mygg i mørket, en skilpaddes orgasmeskrik, panisk flaggermus, gjeddefiske, og ikke minst en bebreidende fransk bulldog ved navn Bibbles. Med Fugler, beist og blomster er en hel diktsamling av Lawrence for første gang gjendiktet til norsk. Gjendiktet og med etterord av Eirik S. Røkkum.
