Gidsen voor het begrijpen van vrouwen voor mannen zijn allemaal heel goed, maar mannen zijn niet de eenvoudigste van de dieren en streven er ook naar om begrepen te worden achter hun verschijning van machistische bravoure. Deze 100 citaten, vaak humoristisch, altijd opvallend, hebben als doel de mannelijke mascarade te ontbinden, je eindelijk te helpen deze raadselachtige bende te begrijpen en je gesprek te besprenkelen met geestigheid als je eenmaal hebt besloten wat je van hen zou willen doen.

100 citaten om mannen te begrijpen

`I know dirt when I smell it, zei een criticus in 1921 over het pas verschenen Verliefde vrouwen, hoewel hij een gekuiste versie onder ogen had gekregen. Onder druk van zijn uitgever, die bang was voor vervolging, wijzigde Lawrence een aantal scènes waaraan de preutse Britse lezer aanstoot zou kunnen nemen. Negentig jaar later verschijnt nu eindelijk een Nederlandse vertaling van het werk zoals Lawrence het bedoeld had. De twee zusters Ursula en Gudrun Brangwen wonen samen in een ingeslapen mijnstadje in de Britse Midlands. In de openingsscène van de roman verklaren ze zich fervente tegenstanders van het huwelijk. Hoe man en vrouw relaties met elkaar aanknopen (en hoe verkeerd dat kan aflopen) vormt de belangrijkste rode draad in Verliefde vrouwen. D.H. Lawrence beschouwde de roman als zijn beste werk. Hij schreef verschillende versies van het boek. In 1920 werd het voor het eerst gepubliceerd in Amerika; de eerste Britse druk verscheen een jaar later.

Sons and Lovers

" The Lover of Lady Chatterley" (Lady Chatterley's Lover) is a work always remembered as a great literary classic. The novella was written by D. H. Lawrence in 1928 and had its first printing done confidentially in Florence. The publication caused scandal due to its sex scenes, and Lawrence had to make alterations to the original manuscript to make it more acceptable to readers of the time. As the title suggests, the theme of "The Lover of Lady Chatterley" is the betrayal of Constance, who is married to the noble Clifford Chatterley. Constance becomes involved in an affair and becomes pregnant by her lover, who belongs to a lower class than hers. Her husband, in turn, is involved with his nurse. The work makes a clear distinction between the two types of relationships, giving the impression that the author's intention was precisely to lead the reader to choose between one or the other. "The Lover of Lady Chatterley" was considered by the French newspaper Le Monde as one of the Hundred Best Books of the 20th Century. It is also part of the famous collection: 1001 Books to Read Before You Die.

LADY CHATTERLEY'S LOVER - D.H. Lawrence

Lady Chatterley’s husband returns from the War paralysed from the waist down. Frustrated by his attitudes as much as his disability, she begins a love-affair with the gamekeeper, Mellors. She realises that to be fully alive she must live the life of the body as well as the mind, but in doing so she angers the conventions of her day. Banned for over 30 years for the explicit nature of its language and descriptions of sex, Lady Chatterley’s Lover also exposes the dehumanisation of the mechanical age, and underlines the profound power of tenderness.

Lady Chatterley’s Lover

L’amante di Lady Chatterley è il più famoso romanzo dello scrittore inglese D.H. Lawrence. Pubblicato nel 1928, fu immediatamente messo all’indice perché il suo contenuto era ritenuto osceno e oltraggioso per la morale pubblica. Il romanzo racconta infatti la storia d’amore e di passione tra l’aristocratica Lady Chatterley, moglie di un uomo reso invalido e impotente dalle ferite riportate in guerra, e il guardacaccia Mellors, uomo virile e forte, ma non rude. Una storia d’amore adultero, quindi, ma non solo: una storia tra persone provenienti da mondi e realtà differenti e antitetiche, che si incontrano nel campo tutt’altro che neutrale e semplice del sesso. E sullo sfondo, l’Inghilterra industrializzata, privata di ogni naturalezza a vantaggio del progresso e incapace di conciliare la mentalità chiusa e conservatrice di stampo vittoriano con l’apparente ed esasperata libertà della modernità, o di avvicinare l’upper class al proletariato industriale. Gli elementi perché il romanzo destasse scandalo, quindi, erano tutti presenti. Ma in ‘L’amante di Lady Chatterley’ c’è molto di più: c’è una donna giovane e intelligente che sente di dover cercare qualcosa di diverso dalla realtà (comoda ma terribilmente fredda) che vive con il marito, e che sceglie di intraprendere questa ricerca utilizzando lo strumento più istintivo ed emotivo che possiede. Non una ricerca del piacere come fine a se stesso, come oggetto di consumo, ma come terreno d’incontro con la propria autenticità e con quella dell’uomo che ha con sé, e in sé, in una cornice erotica di tenerezza e passione. Il più intimo dei contrasti è il prodotto e il paradigma del contrasto che separa una civiltà dai suoi aspetti più veri e naturali. Il romanzo ha il merito di aver anticipato temi come il ruolo dell’uomo e della donna, della coppia e del matrimonio, della liberazione sessuale, che sarebbero divenuti di grande attualità negli anni Sessanta e Settanta, e che ancora oggi sono dei nodi culturali irrisolti. In un mondo ancora sospeso tra bigottismo e pornografia, ‘L’amante di Lady Chatterley’ risalta in tutta la sua contemporaneità. La lettura è affidata da il Narratore audiolibri alla superba e intensa interpretazione dell’attrice Alessandra Bedino.

L'amante di Lady Chatterley

Considered the most widely read novel of the 20th century, D.H. Lawrence’s fiery fifth book continues the loves and lives of The Rainbow’s Brangwen sisters, Gudrun and Ursula. Gerald Crich, son of a wealthy colliery owner, captures the heart of Gudrun, while Ursula becomes enamoured with Rupert Birkin, a school inspector - their complex relationship likely modelled on that between Lawrence, his wife Frieda, and John Middleton Murry and Katherine Mansfield. Things are far from harmonious, and the discord and conflict leads to many heated and elaborate philosophical discussions about modern society and the nature of love, while tragedy looms large. Lawrence held this to be his best book, and F.R. Leavis regarded it to be his most profound and rewarding.

Women in Love

"Lady Chatterley's Lover" is a novel by D. H. Lawrence, first published in 1928. The first edition was printed privately in Florence, Italy, with assistance from Pino Orioli; an unexpurgated edition could not be published openly in the United Kingdom until 1960. The story concerns a young married woman, Constance (Lady Chatterley), whose upper-class husband, Clifford Chatterley, described as a handsome, well-built man, has been paralysed from the waist down due to a war injury. In addition to Clifford's physical limitations, his emotional neglect of Constance forces distance between the couple. Her sexual frustration leads her into an affair with the gamekeeper, Oliver Mellors. The class difference between the couple highlights a major motif of the novel which is the unfair dominance of intellectuals over the working class. The novel is about Constance's realisation that she cannot live with the mind alone; she must also be alive physically. This realisation stems from a heightened sexual experience Constance has only felt with Mellors, suggesting that love can only happen with the element of the body, not the mind. The author David Herbert Richards Lawrence (11 September 1885 – 2 March 1930) was an English novelist, poet, playwright, essayist, literary critic and painter who published as D. H. Lawrence. His collected works, among other things, represent an extended reflection upon the dehumanising effects of modernity and industrialisation. In them, some of the issues Lawrence explores are emotional health, vitality, spontaneity and instinct.

Lady Chatterley's Lover

'Sea and Sardinia' describes Lawrence and his wife Frieda's 1921 trip to Italy. His poetic exploration mirrors that of his own 'Twilight in Italy' and creates an impression of Sardinia and its people that is still relevant and appealing today. Unmissable for those who enjoy Rudyard Kipling, Franz Kafka, and James Joyce. DH Lawrence (1885-1930) was an English poet and novelist. Famed for his lyrical prose, he was uncompromising in his mission to uncover the consequences of modernity and industrialization, particularly on sexuality, instinct, and spontaneity. His works, although innovative, were not truly appreciated until after his death, the most notable of which 'Lady Chatterley's Lover' was adapted to screen in 1981.

Sons and Lovers : Abridged

Sons and Lovers is a 1913 novel by the English writer D. H. Lawrence . While the novel initially received a lukewarm critical reception, along with allegations of obscenity, it is today regarded as a masterpiece by many critics and is often regarded as Lawrence's finest achievement, with the Modern Library placing it ninth in its “100 Best English-Language Novels of the 20th Century.” In Lawrence's own words Lawrence summarised the plot in a letter to Edward Garnett on 19 November 1912: It follows this idea: a woman of character and refinement goes into the lower class, and has no satisfaction in her own life. She has had a passion for her husband, so her children are born of passion, and have heaps of vitality. But as her sons grow up she selects them as lovers – first the eldest, then the second. These sons are urged into life by their reciprocal love of their mother – urged on and on. But when they come to manhood, they can't love, because their mother is the strongest power in their lives, and holds them. It's rather like Goethe and his mother and Frau von Stein and Christiana – As soon as the young men come into contact with women, there's a split. William gives his sex to a fribble, and his mother holds his soul. But the split kills him, because he doesn't know where he is. The next son gets a woman who fights for his soul – fights his mother. The son loves his mother – all the sons hate and are jealous of the father. The battle goes on between the mother and the girl, with the son as object. The mother gradually proves stronger, because of the ties of blood. The son decides to leave his soul in his mother's hands, and, like his elder brother go for passion. He gets passion. Then the split begins to tell again. But, almost unconsciously, the mother realises what is the matter, and begins to die. The son casts off his mistress, attends to his mother dying. He is left in the end naked of everything, with the drift towards death. |Wikipedia|

Equally famous for his masterful canvasses and tumultuous mental health, Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920) was, in many ways, the prototypical tortured artist. A lifelong sufferer of painfully degenerative tuberculosis, Modigliani was famous for denying his disease with a frenzied bohemian lifestyle of hard drinking, drug abuse, and passionate love affairs. But at the same time, he managed to produce some of the modern movement’s most enduring masterpieces, and today his work sells for record-breaking sums whenever it comes up for auction. In this fascinating examination of Modigliani’s life and works, Klaus H. Carl, Frances Alexander, and Jane Rogoyska turn their penetrating gaze on this most enigmatic of artistic geniuses. Their insightful text is accompanied by extracts from D.H. Lawrence’s highly sensual novel Lady Chatterley’s Lover, chosen to complement Modigliani’s art and to give a new perspective to it.

"In a claustrophobic household, oppressed by her blind, toad-like grandmother and a cowardly, conventional father, Yvette’s exuberance seems doomed to suppression. But meeting a gypsy awakens unfamiliar emotions in her, making her challenge the family’s accepted morality. As she wavers between conformity and rebellion, a flash flood threatens her home, her world and her life. This short novel deals with all the major themes of sexuality and identity that made Lawrence one of the most original and influential writers of the 20th century; and it is a satirical, atmospheric, moving and surprising masterpiece."

D.H. Lawrence’s controversial classic, The Rainbow, follows the lives and loves of three generations of the Brangwen family, between 1840 and 1905. Their tempestuous relationships are played out against a backdrop of change as they witness the arrival of industrialisation – the only constant being their unending attempts to grasp a higher form of existence, symbolised by the persistent, unifying motif of the ‘rainbow’.

I tiden før første verdenskrig i et engelsk minedistrikt lever Ursula Brangwen og hendes søster. I centrum for historien står deres problemer med at finde den rette partner – og i det hele taget at finde en meningsfuld plads i en moderne verden. Romanen efterfølger ”Sønner og elskere” og ”Regnbuen”, hvor hurtigt skiftende kønsroller og klassetilhørsforhold, industrialisering og den forestående krig problematiserer personernes søgen efter identitet og mål med livet.

Når kvinder elsker

I "Sønner og elskere" skildres de daglige rutiner i et engelsk minearbejderhjem, hvor hverken drengen Paul eller hans søskende vil være som deres far; rå, fordrukken og brutal. I stedet tager de form efter matriarken i hjemmet, moren, der med sin middelklassebaggrund værdsætter uddannelse, kultur og dannelse. I centrum står Pauls forhold til først den uskyldige Miriam og derefter den mere modne Clara. Men den stærke binding til moren gør ham ude af stand til at elske dem. Karakteristisk for historien og for D. H. Lawrences øvrige forfatterskab er sammenstødet mellem klasser og ideologier, hvor religiøs tro står over for fornuft og rationalitet, følsomhed over for råhed, og hvor al lidenskab forsøges kontrolleret ved hjælp af selvbeherskelse. Den engelske forfatter D. H. Lawrence (1885-193) var sensualist og vitalist med store følelser for krop, natur og kunst og blev vidt berømmet for sine følsomme naturscener, psykologiske refleksioner og eksplicitte skildringer af køn og seksualitet.

Sønner og elskere

Richard Somers en zijn vrouw Harriett maken in Australië kennis met nationalisten en arbeiders. Dankzij de charme van de nationalistische leider Ben Cooly, bijgenaamd Kangoeroe, voelt Somers zich tot diens stroming aangetrokken. Maar door zijn achtergrond (zijn vader was mijnwerker) neigt hij ook naar de arbeidersbeweging. Als het tot een botsing komt tussen beide partijen wordt Kangoeroe neergeschoten… Kangoeroe gaat over een actueel dilemma: moet je vuile handen maken in de politiek of moet je je afzijdig houden om je integriteit en zelfstandigheid te behouden? Lawrence lapt romanconventies aan zijn laars, schrijft lelijk als de wereld lelijk lijkt, maar ook lyrisch over de natuur.

D. H. Lawrence: A BBC Radio Collection

Sons and Lovers is widely considered by critics and readers alike as D.H. Lawrence' s masterpiece and a classic interpretation of the oedipal complex. Surely one of the greatest autobiographical novels ever written, it tells the story of Paul Morel, a sensitive artist with a far stronger attachment to his mother than his working-class, alcoholic father. Searching for love and human connection, Paul is torn between two very different women, but neither of them measures up to his mother.

Two short novellas brimming with Lawrence's famous power and passion. In the first, an injured German prisoner-of-war awakens a grieving woman's passion; in the second, Maurice and Geoffrey are brothers, farmers and virgins until a rainy night when Paula and Lydia chance along.

The Ladybird and Love Among the Haystacks

The Rainbow is a novel by British author D. H. Lawrence, first published by Methuen & Co. in 1915. It follows three generations of the Brangwen family living in Nottinghamshire, particularly focusing on the individual's struggle to growth and fulfilment within the confining strictures of English social life. Lawrence's 1920 novel Women in Love is a sequel to The Rainbow. Plot The Rainbow tells the story of three generations of the Brangwen family, a dynasty of farmers and craftsmen who live in the east Midlands of England, on the borders of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. The book spans a period of roughly 65 years from the 1840s to 1905, and shows how the love relationships of the Brangwens change against the backdrop of the increasing industrialisation of Britain. The first central character, Tom Brangwen, is a farmer whose experience of the world does not stretch beyond these two counties; while the last, Ursula, his granddaughter, studies at university and becomes a teacher in the progressively urbanised, capitalist and industrial world. The book starts with a description of the Brangwen dynasty, then deals with how Tom Brangwen, one of several brothers, fell in love with a Polish refugee and widow, Lydia. The next part of the book deals with Lydia's daughter by her first husband, Anna, and her destructive, battle-riven relationship with her husband, Will, the son of one of Tom's brothers. The and most extended part of the book, and also probably the most famous, then deals with Ursula, and her struggle to find fulfilment for her passionate, spiritual and sensual nature against the confines of the increasingly materialist and conformist society around her. At the end of the book, she has a vision of a rainbow towering over the Earth, promising a new dawn for humanity: "She saw in the rainbow the earth's new architecture, the old, brittle corruption of houses and factories swept away, the world built up in a living fabric of Truth, fitting to the over-arching heaven." |Wikipedia|

Twilight in Italy

D.H. Lawrence considered 'The Plumed Serpent' his best novel, while some critics considered it blasphemous and misogynistic. Controversy followed the author around, but this is a thrilling and original tale set in post-revolutionary Mexico. Irish tourist Kate Leslie meets Don Cipriano and Don Ramon Carrasco, founders of the religious movement The Men of Quetzalcoatl. They believe themselves to be reincarnated Aztec gods and aim to wipe from the face of Mexico all worship of Jesus and the Virgin Mary. As Cipriano seeks to marry Kate, the nation is hit by religious murder, fighting and the burning of Christian artifacts. The violence builds and Kate is drawn inexorably to the mysterious beliefs of the followers of Quetzalcoatl. Who will claim Kate's soul - and which side will triumph in the battle for the hearts and minds of Mexico? 'The Plumed Serpent' is perfect for fans of John Steinbeck, Karl Heller and Cormac McCarthy.

This short collection of poetry is a wonderful introduction to Lawrence's masterful, whimsical, and entertaining prose. Detailing his observations of a group of tortoises living in his garden, he explores intimacy in a way no others have. DH Lawrence (1885-1930) was an English poet and novelist. Famed for his lyrical prose, he was uncompromising in his mission to uncover the consequences of modernity and industrialization, particularly on sexuality, instinct, and spontaneity. His works, although innovative, were not truly appreciated until after his death, the most notable of which 'Lady Chatterley's Lover' was adapted to screen in 1981.

Look! We Have Come Through!

Studies in Classic American Literature

Trapped in a loveless and unhappy marriage, Aaron Sisson, a union official in the depressing coal mines of the English Midlands, will walk out on his wife and children to follow his passion for music. From London to Italy, Sisson moves in intellectual and artistic circles, arguing politics, leadership and submission to authority while dallying with the dizzying heights of the aristocracy. Threaded with stunning characters, daring romance and an explosive conclusion this fascinating and engaging novel tracks many of Lawrence’s own beliefs and ponderings on the state of a post-war society. It is a brilliant psychological analysis of a society up-turned by the devastation of World War One and it’s desperate search for meaning in the wake of such great losses. This novel is perfect for anyone who loved ‘The Great Gatsby’. David Herbert Lawrence (1885-1930) was one of the 20th centuries most influential writers. Born in England, he became famous for his novels, short stories, poems, and literary criticism, though many of his contemporaries viewed him as a pornographer. He faced severe criticism and censorship after the publication of one of his most famous and explicit novels, ‘Lady Chatterley’s Lover’. Despite his persecution, Lawrence’s works continued to explore central themes of human emotion, identity, and sexuality. His other prominent works include ‘Women in Love’, ‘The Rainbow’, ‘Sons and Lovers’, and ‘The Plumed Serpent’.

Aaron's Rod

It is possible to love someone so fiercely and yet destroy them at the same time? Paul Morel certainly seems very capable of doing just that! Will he ever mature and think for himself instead of continuing to live under his mother’s influence? As an adult, Paul is so attached to his mother, he cannot commit to and form a loving relationship, though he falls in love with two women; Miriam who is younger than him and loves him dearly, and Clara the older woman who is similar to his mother and married. D. H. Lawrence’s semi-autobiographic classic novel 'Sons and Lovers' is set in late 19th century England. He tells his tale with detailed insight into each character’s thinking and behaviour. We see the people in the story behaving with simultaneous love and hatred of others, having a strong desire for someone while not really wanting them at all. 'Sons and Lovers' was adapted into a 1960 British drama directed by Jack Cardiff and starring Trevor Howard, Donald Pleasence and Wendy Hiller. The film was nominated for seven Academy Awards and entered in the 1960 Cannes Film Festival.

Other prominent works of his are 'Women in Love', 'The Rainbow', 'Sons and Lovers', and 'The Plumed Serpent'.

This short story collection represents Lawrence’s first ever published body of work, containing twelve brilliant and engaging short stories. The titular ‘Prussian Officer’ is a gambler, drinker, and serial womaniser who has wasted his youth. He finds himself alone in the world with no wife to return home to. He is profoundly jealous of his young orderly, a vibrant young man with a beautiful wife, whose happiness raises violent feelings in his commanding officer. Throughout this engaging short story, sexual tensions give rise to violent outbursts of masculine domination. Other short stories, such as ‘A Fragment of Stained Glass’ and ‘Daughters of a Vicar’, weave individuality, happiness, and failure among the divine forces of nature to create works of profound beauty and sensitivity. It is a deeply poignant collection of violence, sexuality, and repression that is perfect reading for any lovers of the early modernist movement. David Herbert Lawrence (1885-1930) was an English author and poet. His books focused on the negative effects of industrialisation and modernity. However, he is best known for the controversy that surrounded his leading novels, which contained explicit descriptions of sex and sexuality. His novels include 'Sons and Lovers', 'The Rainbow', 'Women in Love' and 'Lady Chatterley's Lover'. When 'Lady Chatterley's Lover' was first published in full in 1960, long after Lawrence's death, the publisher Penguin was prosecuted under the 1959 Obscene Publications Act. The "not guilty" verdict resulted in greater freedom for writers and publishers.

The Prussian Officer and Other Stories

Two sisters - two contrasting love affairs. Gudrun Brangwen, an artist, becomes deeply involved in a destructive entanglement with the industrialist Gerald Crich. Ursula, a schoolteacher, embarks upon a happy relationship with alienated intellectual Rupert Birkin. After a double tragedy for Gerald, the four head to the Austrian Alps for a holiday. There, the two men are confronted by feelings they have for each other, while Gudrun begins an intense friendship with an artist from Dresden. Enraged, Gerald takes drastic action that will have lifelong consequences for them all. The book was made into a movie, also called 'Women in Love', in 1969, starring Alan Bates, Oliver Reed, and Glenda Jackson. This turbulent tale of love and loss is perfect for fans of E. M. Forster's 'A Room with a View' and the work of Elizabeth Gaskell. David Herbert Lawrence (1885-1930) was an English author and poet.
