David Herbert Richards Lawrence was an English writer of the 20th century, whose prolific and diverse output included novels, short stories, poems, plays, essays, travel books, paintings, translations, literary criticism and personal letters. His collected works represent an extended reflection upon the dehumanizing effects of modernity and industrialisation. In them, Lawrence confronts issues relating to emotional health and vitality, spontaneity, human sexuality and instinct.
Lawrence's opinions earned him many enemies and he endured official persecution, censorship, and misrepresentation of his creative work throughout the second half of his life, much of which he spent in a voluntary exile he called his "savage pilgrimage." At the time of his death, his public reputation was that of a pornographer who had wasted his considerable talents. E. M. Forster, in an obituary notice, challenged this widely held view, describing him as "the greatest imaginative novelist of our generation." Later, the influential Cambridge critic F. R. Leavis championed both his artistic integrity and his moral seriousness, placing much of Lawrence's fiction within the canonical "great tradition" of the English novel. He is now generally valued as a visionary thinker and a significant representative of modernism in English literature, although some feminists object to the attitudes toward women and sexuality found in his works.
Originally published abroad in 1928, and unavailable in Britain until 1960 when it was the subject of an infamous obscenity trial, Lady Chatterley's Lover is now regarded as one of the pivotal novels of the 20th century. Lawrence's determination to explore every aspect—sexual, social, psychological—of Lady Chatterley's adulterous liaison with the gamekeeper Oliver Mellors makes for a profound meditation on the human condition, the forces of nature, and the social constraints that people struggle to overcome. Lawrence's final novel—here presented in the more explicit 1927 version which he described as "so improper that it'll never be printed"—confirms his standing as one of the most eminent fiction writers that England has produced.
我实在不明白人民文学出版社非要在封面上加上一句“本书曾在英国和美国遭禁三十余年”,虽是一说明事实的陈述句,但背后总有深意,旁敲侧击,我就不信是他们说者无意,我听着有心。然后,封底上一句“引起轩然大波的是书中一些露骨的性爱描写……”,并注明选自一本名叫《20世...
评分我问他是否知道一个叫桃斯的地方,那个地方位于美国新墨西哥州圣塔菲市的东北面,距圣塔非100英里,名气不大,交通也不大便利。 我问他是否知道一个叫桃斯的地方,因为他告诉我,今年是他在美国居住的第20个年头。 我怕他听不懂我的话,于是用食指沾了一点杯中的咖啡在白色...
评分想起一句话—— 什么是友情?两个身体,一个灵魂。 什么是爱情?一个身体,两个灵魂。 这样看来,我觉得,康妮和查泰来之间更多的恐怕是友情。 在没有遇到梅乐士之前,康妮并没有觉得夫妻生活中没有性是多么大不了的事儿。她照顾查泰来的生活起居,夜晚则为彼...
评分康妮实在是个可爱的女人,我很乐意和她做个朋友,我们至少可以聊聊梅勒斯,那个迷人的猎场看守人。她略带雀斑的脸上必定会泛出羞涩的红晕,这也掩盖不了她对那具曾经历过印度战场的阳刚身躯的迷恋,以及蕴藏在血肉下的款款深情。 尽管性与爱对她来说都是至关重要的,但劳伦斯...
评分The last and the best
评分仅仅为了一个presentation我花了一个多星期读完的。很喜欢开头和结尾,表示能够totally understand Connie's love affairs.
评分The love-making and and connection was only a sort of primitive reversion, and a bit of an anti-climax.
评分there is now no smooth way into future: but we go round, or scramble over obstacles. We got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen.
评分早年看见性,现在则看见反抗。其实这种让当事人隔绝了一切的装置和背景,令人把它当做porn看也不奇怪。奥威尔的 road to wigan pier ,福斯特的莫里斯,和查泰莱夫人是一脉相承的作品。
