D. H. Lawrence

Opis

Eight tales of unease from one of the finest English writers of the 20th century
D. H. Lawrence wrote a large body of work as an author, poet, playwright, essayist and literary critic. His most famous (perhaps infamous) work was 'Lady Chatterley's Lover' and among his other highly regarded novels are 'Women in Love, ' 'Sons and Lovers, ' 'The Rainbow' and 'The Plumed Serpent.' Lawrence's focus on human sexuality may have brought about a scandal and an undeserved reputation as a pornographer, but nevertheless upon his death E. M. Forster referred to him as 'the greatest imaginative novelist of our generation.' Lawrence's huge capacity for writing fortunately guided him towards many subjects including a concise and exquisitely crafted collection of shorter works concerning ghosts, hauntings, dark places and macabre scenarios within which his often troubled characters must live. This special Leonaur collection-by an unusual exponent of the genre-includes 'Glad Ghosts, ' 'Smile, ' 'The Last Laugh, ' 'The Lovely Lady, ' 'The Man who Died, ' 'The Border Line, ' 'Sun, ' 'The Woman who Rode Away' and the highly regarded classic, 'The Rocking Horse Winner.'
