What is it about Lawrence and sex? Even the tortoises are having intercourse in this collection of poetry. And let me just say, Lawrence, the bunny poem, dude, really? That aside, or maybe because of it, many of the poems in the collection are good. Even if Lawrence had never written any of his no...
It was interesting to refresh myself on some classic D. H. Lawrence. If you're strictly reading this as a period piece, most of the stories are quite humorous, even when they're not 'humorous'. But since I'm a product of my generation, I can still enjoy a number of the stories on their own merit, bu...
Constance heiratet Clifford Chatterley, der kurz nach der Hochzeit in den Krieg zieht und querschnitzgelähmt zurückkommt. Clifford weiß, dass er keinen Erben in die Welt setzen kann und bietet Conni an, das Kind eines anderen als sein eigenes großzuziehen. Er wird immer reizbarer und zieht sich imme...
This book was a little strange. The world the author talks about in the book is so different than what I read in other books. His points of view for the relationships, conversations and life itself were thoughtful. The book was boring in some places interesting in others. But it's classics so I won'...
I preferred Sons and Lovers. I think Lawrence suffered from a bit too much telling rather than showing in this story. As soon as there was some action, it slid right back into summarizing of this and that. It got boring for me! The dichotomy between Connie and Clifford was executed wonderfully - the...
Ah, Lady Chatterley and her lover – one of the most banned books ever; it has titillated audiences since it was first published in 1928. However, behind the shock factor of this very infamous novel lies a striking picture in time of a society in flux. The First World War is over, as is the Victorian...
The more I read him, the more I am convinced that D.H. was the most overrated novelist of the 20th century (okay, okay, one of the most overrated novelists of the 20th century). It's just description. There's nothing else to it. Whatever insight is on a personal, character level , where most real...
there were parts of this that were interesting and probably worth a much closer look, but i couldn't do more than skim almost all of this book. it couldn't hold my attention. and the last 3 pages pissed me off royally (as a feminist), while plenty of other places in the book bothered me (for issue...
The first D.H. Lawrence story I read was "The Rocking-Horse Winner", a tale I found quite disturbing. His posthumous novella The Virgin and the Gypsy, I think, is equally disconcerting in terms of imagery and implication. Yvette is unhappy with her current situation. She’s a rector’s daughter and is...
Engaging and unique. Lots of sex. Weird sex, but not kinky. Just . . . weird, like with flowers. And Lawrence likes the word "bowels." I would have given it five stars, except for two things: 1) He rambles on and on about the awful future and money, money, money bringing us all down, which is a va...
