Sobre este e-book
This vintage volume contains D. H. Lawrence’s seminal 1913 novel, "Sons and Lovers". It tells the story of Paul Morel, a young man and budding artist, whose complex relationships with a doting mother, a violent father, and a young female devotee, constitute the main themes of his life. The Modern Library ranked "Sons and Lovers" ninth on their 'Top 100 Best Novels of the 20th Century'. The novel originally received a lukewarm critical reception, but is today considered a literary masterpiece. This fantastic piece of literature would make for a worthy addition to any bookshelf, and is not to be missed by fans and collectors of Lawrence’s work. David Herbert Richards Lawrence (1885 - 1930) was a seminal English novelist, poet, playwright, and essayist. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.
Sobre o autor
D(avid) H(erbert) Lawrence was born on September 11, 1885. His father was a coal miner and Lawrence grew up in a mining town in England. He always hated the mines, however, and frequently used them in his writing to represent both darkness and industrialism, which he despised because he felt it was scarring the English countryside. Lawrence attended high school and college in Nottingham and, after graduation, became a school teacher in Croyden in 1908. Although his first two novels had been unsuccessful, he turned to writing full time when a serious illness forced him to stop teaching. Lawrence spent much of his adult life abroad in Europe, particularly Italy, where he wrote some of his most significant and most controversial novels, including Sons and Lovers and Lady Chatterly's Lover. Lawrence and his wife, Frieda, who had left her first husband and her children to live with him, spent several years touring Europe and also lived in New Mexico for a time. Lawrence had been a frail child, and he suffered much of his life from tuberculosis. Eventually, he retired to a sanitorium in Nice, France. He died in France in 1930, at age 44. In his relatively short life, he produced more than 50 volumes of short stories, poems, plays, essays, travel journals, and letters, in addition to the novels for which he is best known.
