劳伦斯遭禁很久的小说
穿透本能的欲望，触及人性深处的“恋母情结”

Sons and Lovers《儿子与情人》是劳伦斯的首部长篇小说。小说风靡世界文坛，魅力至今不减。小说中的父亲莫瑞尔是矿工，由于长年沉重的劳动和煤井事故使他变得脾气暴躁，母亲出生于中产家庭，有一定教养。夫妇不和，母亲开始厌弃丈夫，把全部感情和希望倾注在孩子身上，由此产生畸形的母爱。主人公保罗•莫瑞尔与初恋情人米莉安和已婚妇女克拉拉之间的恋情中，饱受肉与灵的挣扎之苦，直到他母亲病故。

D. H. Lawrence’s great autobiographical novel paints a provocative portrait of an artist torn between affection for his mother and desire for two beautiful women. Set in the Nottinghamshire coalfields of Lawrence’s own boyhood, the story follows young Paul Morel’s growth into manhood in a British working-class family. 

Gertrude Morel, Paul’s puritanical mother, concentrates all her love and attention on Paul, nurturing his talents as a painter. When she muses that he might marry someday and desert her, the attentive son swears he will never leave her. Then Paul falls in love—with not one woman but two—and must eventually choose between them.…

Praise for D.H. Lawrence
“The greatest imaginative novelist of our generation.”  — E. M. Forster 

“He was a language, a setting, a world entirely of his own... He was, like all true poetry, against tepid living and tepid loves… [giving] full expression to the gestures of passion.”  — Anaïs Nin

The son of a miner, the prolific novelist, poet, and travel writer David Herbert Lawrence was born in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, in 1885. He attended Nottingham University and found employment as a schoolteacher. His first novel, The White Peacock, was published in 1911, the same year his beloved mother died and he quit teaching to devote himself to writing. The next year Lawrence published Sons and Lovers and ran off to Germany with Frieda Weekley, his former tutor’s wife; they married in 1914. Suffering from tuberculosis, he was in constant flight from his ill health, traveling through Europe and around the world by way of Australia and Mexico, settling for a time in Taos, NM. During his life, he produced more than forty volumes of fiction, poetry, drama, criticism, philosophy and travel writing. Among his most famous works are The Rainbow (1915), Women in Love (1920) and Lady Chatterley's Lover (1928). He died in 1930 in Venice.
