In Aaron's Rod, literary master D.H. Lawrence spins an engaging picaresque tale of the talented English amateur flutist Aaron Sisson and his travels. Aaron escapes a life of drudgery and a loveless marriage and journeys to Italy, crossing paths with a writer who many critics regard as an autobiographical stand-in for Lawrence himself along the way.
Inhalt: D. H. Lawrence' grandiose Erzählung über die Abgründe der menschlichen Existenz - neu übersetzt von Benjamin Lebert: Ein Mann liebt Inseln. Er sucht sein Glück auf einer sturmumtosten Insel. Hier erschafft er sich seine eigene Welt, richtet alles nach seinen Vorstellungen ein. Doch schon bald wird sein Glück bedroht, nicht von Wind und Wellen, sondern von den anderen Menschen. Also flüchtet der Mann auf eine kleinere Insel und schließlich auf eine noch kleinere Insel, bis er schließlich ganz allein ist, allein mit dem Meer. Immer tiefer verliert er sich in sich selbst, in seinen Wünschen und Sehnsüchten. Eine Geschichte über einen Menschen, der den Rückzug aus der Welt wagt, um die Gezeiten, die Schwingungen der Seele zu spüren, um sich sein eigenes Paradies zu erschaffen. Umfang: 42 S. ISBN: 978-3-455-81380-7
English author and literary critic D. H. Lawrence writes in Fantasia of the Unconscious:
I am not a proper archaeologist nor an anthropologist nor an ethnologist. I am no "scholar" of any sort. But I am very grateful to scholars for their sound work. I have found hints, suggestions for what I say here in all kinds of scholarly books, from the Yoga and Plato and St. John the Evangel and the early Greek philosophers like Herakleitos down to Fraser and his "Golden Bough," and even Freud and Frobenius. Even then I only remember hints - and I proceed by intuition. This leaves you quite free to dismiss the whole wordy mass of revolting nonsense, without a qualm.
Only let me say, that to my mind there is a great field of science which is as yet quite closed to us. I refer to the science which proceeds in terms of life and is established on data of living experience and of sure intuition. Call it subjective science if you like. Our objective science of modern knowledge concerns itself only with phenomena, and with phenomena as regarded in their cause-and-effect relationship. I have nothing to say against our science. It is perfect as far as it goes. But to regard it as exhausting the whole scope of human possibility in knowledge seems to me just puerile. Our science is a science of the dead world. Even biology never considers life, but only mechanistic functioning and apparatus of life.
Lady Chatterley's upper-class husband has been rendered paralyzed and impotent. She crosses class and gender boundaries when she takes her gamekeeper as a lover. The novel remained unpublished for thirty years in the UK because of its explicit discussion of sexuality.

D.H. Lawrence's The Plumed Serpent is back with a brand-new release by Duke Classics. Lawrence based the story off a personal trip to Mexico. An Irish tourist finds herself embroiled in political and religious upheaval after the Mexican Revolution. An ambitious tale of heroism, idealism, and conflict, Lawrence's words explore what might be possible.
Delve into the mysteries of the human mind in this spellbinding tale from D.H. Lawrence, the masterful author responsible for beloved novels such as Sons and Lovers and Women in Love. Leaving behind the sensual fare for which he is best known, Lawrence focuses in this story on the conflict that emerges between an aristocratic officer and his subordinate. The Prussian Officer packs the psychodrama and complexity of Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment into a concise and compelling tale.
The works of British author D.H. Lawrence were often considered to be shocking because of their frank treatment of subjects such as sexuality and desire, and novels such as Sons and Lovers, Women in Love and Lady Chatterley's Lover were often censored or confiscated due to their graphic content. The Rainbow, another of Lawrence's best-known novels, certainly doesn't shy away from its depiction of human intimacy in all of its forms.
Dive into a provocative coming-of-age story that challenged the vestiges of England's Edwardian-era sexual mores. A continuation of a fictional arc that D.H. Lawrence began in a previous novel, The Rainbow, Women in Love explores the romantic entanglements and love affairs of the sisters Ursula and Gudrun Brangwen.
