Il Duro | D. H. Lawrence
6 posts | 5 read | 5 to read
'But I ran up the broken stairway, and came out suddenly, as if by a miracle, clean on the platform of my San Tommaso, in the tremendous sunshine.' Four personal, sun-drenched sketches of Lawrence's experiences in Italy. Introducing Little Black Classics: 80 books for Penguin's 80th birthday. Little Black Classics celebrate the huge range and diversity of Penguin Classics, with books from around the world and across many centuries. They take us from a balloon ride over Victorian London to a garden of blossom in Japan, from Tierra del Fuego to 16th-century California and the Russian steppe. Here are stories lyrical and savage; poems epic and intimate; essays satirical and inspirational; and ideas that have shaped the lives of millions. David Herbert Lawrence (1885-1930). Lawrence's works available in Penguin Classics are Apocalypse, D. H. Lawrence and Italy, The Fox, the Captain's Doll, the Ladybird, Lady Chatterley's Lover, The Prussian Officer and Other Stories, The Rainbow, Sea and Sardinia and Selected Poems.

I think D H Lawrence is another author like Charles Dickens for me... I really want to like his stories but trying to get through all the descriptive language in this was like wading through treacle....

I didn't hate it, but I'm also glad it's over and I don't think I will ever recomend it.

Another Trainride, another little black classic. I‘ve just finished the first of four short stories of D.H. Lawrence. His language is absolutely beautiful, I love the pictures he paints with his words. I hope the other stories are as good. I am definitely planning on reading more of his works!

CaliforniaCay I've only read one of his books, but he does have a very unique way of writing. I was so captivated I want to read everything by him now. I've never even heard of this one before. Stacked! 5y
ju.ca.no @CaliforniaCay what have you read? I also want to read all of his works now, I really enjoyed this stories! 5y
CaliforniaCay @ju.ca.no I had to read women in love for a lit class years ago, and it always stuck with me. I think I wouldn't have liked it if I had read it on my own, but since discussing it to pieces in class I feel like it opened my mind up a bit about his writing. 5y
ju.ca.no @CaliforniaCay true, I can imagine that talking about his work makes it more accessible! 5y

Thank you for the excellent #jbuk package, Jess @jhod ! ?
I've only read D.H. Lawrence's poetry so that will be interesting.
I'm glad to hear your good opinion of Olivia Laing's "Crudo", too. I love her non-fiction and only just discovered she'd written a novel.

Cathythoughts So nice ! Lovely post 💫 6y

After barely sleeping a wink all night, this is all I could muster before going back to the writing of my exam paper.

Simona @DennisJacobRosenfeld Very nice, thank you. 8y
