Despre acest autor drag mie nu cred că trebuie să vă spun prea multe, ci doar că este unul dintre scriitori clasici preferați de mine ce a lăsat posterității mai multe capodopere literare. Până acum am citit patru dintre romanele sale și cred că cel mai mult mi-a plăcut Amantul doamnei Chatterley, pe care am de gând să îl recitesc în viitorul apropiat.

I had to study Lawrence at university as part of my English degree .
Read many years ago . Going to 're read it and see if my opinion has changed.

Soooo.. he’s a brilliant writer but there are many things within the narrative that this time , I found disturbing and off putting .
Yes he was writing in a certain , culture , era and he had a certain respect for women . However I think , like many men , women scared him and he couldn’t admit this, even to himself.
Other than that ...more

Lawrence has an amazing ability to pull out the ebb and flow of relationships in his prose. I was most struck by this ability while reading this book -- the attachment and disengagement that permeates human relationship because ultimately we are all still stuck inside our own skin.
The book is not Lawrence at his best, but Lawrence has a unique voice that seems lost and is always a pleasure to re-visit.
