Acerca deste libro electrónico

In "Tortoises," D. H. Lawrence embarks on a poignant exploration of nature and existence, steeped in his distinctive lyrical prose. This collection of essays, grounded in Lawrence's keen observations of tortoises, reflects a broader philosophical inquiry into the balance of life, the essence of being, and humanity's often tumultuous relationship with the natural world. The literary style is evocative and personal, showcasing Lawrence's ability to weave deep emotional resonance with a critical examination of human nature, evoking the influence of romanticism and modernism that pervades his work in the early 20th century. D. H. Lawrence was a profoundly introspective writer whose life experiences—marked by a rebellion against industrialization and a profound love for natural beauty—influenced his literary output. Growing up in a mining town, Lawrence developed an acute awareness of the struggle between nature and the mechanization of life, leading to a deepened curiosity about the primal impulses that shape humanity. His affinity for the natural world is evident in his writing, making "Tortoises" a significant inquiry into both corporeal existence and spiritual reflection. Readers are encouraged to delve into "Tortoises" for its rich philosophical insights, exquisite prose, and the harmonious melding of nature and introspection. Lawrence's meditative style not only enriches the narrative but also invites readers to reflect on their own existence, making this work essential for those interested in the intersection of literature, philosophy, and the natural realm.

Acerca do autor

D. H. Lawrence, born David Herbert Richards Lawrence on September 11, 1885, in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, England, is widely recognized for his contributions to English literature as a novelist, poet, playwright, essayist, and literary critic. His work often explores issues surrounding emotional health, vitality, spontaneity, and instinct, while frequently challenging the mores of his time, especially regarding sexuality and industrialization. 'Tortoises' is one of his lesser-known yet profound collections of poems that exhibits Lawrence's keen observation of the natural world, imbuing it with his characteristic examination of the human condition through a focus on the lives of these slow-moving, contemplative creatures. His literary style is noted for its use of vivid imagery, symbolism, and exploration of character psychology, all of which are evident in his poetry, including this collection. Lawrence is perhaps best known for his novels 'Sons and Lovers' (1913), 'The Rainbow' (1915), 'Women in Love' (1920), and the controversial 'Lady Chatterley's Lover' (1928), which was banned in several countries due to its explicit content. As an author, D.H. Lawrence persists as a figure of both admiration and contention within literary circles, celebrated for his lyrical prose and incisive explorations of human relations against the backdrop of a rapidly changing world. He died in France on March 2, 1930, but his literary legacy continues to be a subject of study and appreciation.
