The Life of D. H. Lawrence

Más información sobre el libro

Since his death in 1930 at the age of 44, D.H. Lawrence has become a legend as both a writer & a man. In The Life of D.H. Lawrence, Keith Sagar has written an authentic, vivid biography, drawing on the 5500 Lawrence letters now available, & the many accounts of him by his relatives, friends & contemporaries. He tells the story directly & dramatically, revealing the dynamics of Lawrence's worldwide quest (both as traveler & as 'thought-adventurer') for a way of life he could recognize as both fully human & deeply religious. The book is illustrated throughout with 150 pictures, many in color, including those of his friends & associates, places he lived in & wrote about, & his paintings. Keith Sagar has written not only about Lawrence the creator of some of the finest works in every genre of modern literature, but also the creator of 'that piece of supreme art, a man's life'.
