D. H. Lawrence

The Ladybird (eBook, ePUB)

Short Story

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A wounded German officer, Count Psanek, shares his philosophies on life and love with a local acquaintance, Lady Daphne, while interned in London during the final months of the First World War. Lady Daphne finds herself alternately attracted and repulsed by the Count, and when her husband returns home from the front she finds her feelings toward him are equally ambiguous.

For Lawrence, love is never a simple exchange, but something both independently personal and wholly dependent. Rife with symbolism and subtext, "The Ladybird" is a story that can be read again and again, providing the reader with different experiences and new perspectives each time.

Autorenporträt

An English novelist, poet, playwright, literary critic, and painter, D. H. Lawrence is best known for his novels Sons and Lovers, The Rainbow, Women in Love, and Lady Chatterley's Lover. Writing in the period leading up to and following the First World War, Lawrence's work explores the nature of personal and sexual relationships in light of industrialization and the new culture of modernity. Persecuted for his strong opinions, Lawrence spent the second part of his career in an exile he referred to as his "savage pilgrimage,” while his work continued to be censored and misrepresented, resulting in the sensational obscenity trial of Lady Chatterley's Lover. Lawrence died in 1930 and is considered to be a visionary thinker and significant representative of modernism in English literature.
