The Rainbow de D. H. Lawrence

The Rainbow: Mint Editions (Reading With Pride)

Autor D. H. Lawrence
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 mai 2021

Suntem de părere că puține romane reușesc să captureze atât de visceral miza emancipării individuale precum o face The Rainbow. În centrul acestei saga de familie se află Ursula Brangwen, a cărei luptă pentru a-și afirma identitatea la granița dintre tradiția rurală și modernitatea urbană devine o căutare a „triumfului infinitului”. Lawrence nu scrie doar o cronică socială, ci o explorare psihologică profundă a modului în care legăturile de sânge și pasiunile erotice modelează spiritul uman pe parcursul a trei generații. Merită menționat că autorul sfidează convențiile lingvistice ale epocii sale, integrând o imagistică biblică densă într-o narațiune despre dorință și conflict generațional. Ritmul lecturii este unul contemplativ, dar încărcat de o tensiune latentă, reflectând tranziția Angliei de la o societate agrară la una industrială. Această ediție de la WORDSWORTH EDITIONS LTD păstrează forța brută a textului care, în 1915, a fost considerat prea subversiv pentru rafturile librăriilor. The Rainbow amintește de Rainbow Rainbow de Mary J. Greene prin structura sa genealogică și focusul pe familia de fermieri din Midlands, dar se diferențiază prin intensitatea poetică a prozei și prin radicalismul cu care Lawrence analizează fuziunea dintre fizic și spiritual. Față de Sons and Lovers, unde explorarea relațiilor mamă-fiu este aproape sufocantă, acest roman lărgește perspectiva, pregătind terenul pentru temele din Women in Love. Este o operă fundamentală pentru a înțelege viziunea lui D. H. Lawrence asupra vitalității umane strivite de mecanismele civilizației moderne.

The Rainbow oferă o perspectivă fascinantă asupra evoluției rolului femeii în societate și a luptei pentru autonomie într-o lume în schimbare.

Despre autor

D. H. Lawrence (1885–1930) a fost un scriitor și poet englez a cărui operă reprezintă o critică extinsă la adresa efectelor dezumanizante ale industrializării. Printre cele mai cunoscute romane ale sale se numără Sons and Lovers, The Rainbow și Lady Chatterley's Lover. Din cauza explorării oneste a sexualității și a instinctelor umane, Lawrence a fost adesea ținta cenzurii și a persecuțiilor oficiale, trăind o mare parte din viață în exil. Deși la moartea sa era văzut de mulți ca un autor controversat, critici precum E. M. Forster l-au reevaluat drept cel mai mare romancier imaginativ al generației sale.

Notă biografică

Born on September 11, 1885, in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, England, David Herbert Lawrence was the fourth child of a coal miner and a former schoolteacher. His upbringing in a working-class family deeply influenced his literary themes, particularly the tensions between industrialization and nature. Lawrence's early education and experiences in his hometown laid the foundation for his future works.In 1912, Lawrence met Frieda Weekley, with whom he eloped to Europe, marking the beginning of his extensive travels. This period saw the creation of some of his most significant novels, including Sons and Lovers (1913) and The Rainbow (1915), which explored complex human relationships and societal constraints. His candid portrayal of sexuality and critique of industrial society often led to controversy and censorship.Despite facing persecution and public misrepresentation, Lawrence continued to produce influential works across various genres. His final novel, Lady Chatterley's Lover (1928), was notorious for its explicit content and faced numerous legal challenges. Lawrence's relentless exploration of human emotions and social norms has solidified his legacy as a pivotal figure in modernist literature.

Descriere scurtă

Spanning over a period of sixty-five years, from the 1840s to 1905, The Rainbow by D.H Lawrence follows three generations of the Brangwen family, mapping the change in their romantic relationships amid the industrialization of Great Britain. Their story begins when Tom Brangwen meets a Polish widow named Lydia. The two soon fall in love and get married, though they find that their cultural differences cause more issues than they imagined. Due to a cultural and language barrier, Lydia and Tom find it difficult to connect to one another, but they stay persistent and remain together regardless. Since Lydia had a child with her late husband, Tom adopted her daughter, Anna, as one of his own. When Anna gets married, she and her husband Will shift the focus to their romance, which begins as an innocent and happy affair. During the early phases of their relationship and marriage, Anna and Will were wrapped up into each other, unaware of anything else except for their love. But this romantic daze cannot last for forever. Anna soon returns to reality, much quicker than Will, which causes a rift in their relationship, especially when they have children. Their youngest daughter, Ursula, is able to live more freely than any of the other Brangwen's. Though she feels the societal pressure that is forced upon her as a woman, Ursula is more concerned with being independent and happy. She is passionate and sensual, seeking out many romantic relationships, including one with her female schoolteacher. But as she grows older, she meets a sweet British solider named Anton. The two remain in an extended and happy relationship, but as the possibility of marriage grows near, Ursula must decide if she feels ready to make such as commitment, or if she ever even wants to be a married woman. Presented in sensual and emotional prose, D.H Lawrence's The Rainbow effortlessly tackles taboo topics and complex protagonists. With themes of feminism, family, love, homosexuality, and religious rebellion, The Rainbow has invited controversy since the first year it was published, leading it to be banned in Great Britain. Modern readers can now enjoy what the original audience was scandalized by, divulging in a rich storyline of complicated love affairs.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Set in the rural midlands of England, D.H. Lawrence's 'The Rainbow' explores the lives of three generations of the Brangwen family, conveying how their rural existence is gradually but profoundly changed by the influx of industry and urbanism. But it is young Ursula Brangwen, discovering herself through her sexual awakening, who becomes the focus of Lawrence's classic work, which was banned by court order when it was first published in London in 1915.

Recenzii

"Lawrence is the most Dostoevskian of English novelists, in whose best work conflicting ideological positions are brought into play and set up against each other in dialogue that is never simply or finally resolved" -- David Lodge "No writer since Lawrence has been so openly governed by what seems like powerful personal likes and dislikes, grievances, and by what appear to many as untenable prejudices" -- Amit Chauduri "What astonished me reading it this time round is the iconoclastic modernity of the novel... the sense of daring experiment. I had entirely forgotten what drastic steps Lawrence was taking with character, for instance. Or with narrative (the novel proceeds cyclically). When this is combined with sexual overtness and a revolutionary call for the individual to achieve "Me-ness" in opposition to the nation, industry and war, we have a book that, appearing as it did in 1915, seemed genuinely disturbing" -- Adam Thorpe Guardian

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
To be oneself was a supreme, gleaming triumph of infinity This is the insight that flashes upon Ursula as she struggles to assert her individuality and to stand separate from her family and her surroundings on the brink of womanhood and the modern world. In The Rainbow (1915) Lawrence challenged the customary limitations of language and convention to carry into the structure of his prose the fascination with boundaries and space that characterize the entire novel. Condemned and suppressed on its first publication for its open treatment of sexuality and its `unpatriotic' spirit, the novel chronicles the lives of three generations of the Brangwen family over a period of more than 60 years, setting them against the emergence of modern England. The central figure of ursula becomes the focus of Lawrence's examination of relationships and the conflicts they bring, and the inextricable mingling of the physical and the spiritual. Suffused with biblical imagery, The Rainbow addresses searching human issues in a setting of precise and vivid detail. In her introduction to this edition Kate Flint illuminates Lawrence's aims and achievements against the background of the burgeoning century.
