As mulheres contam
Poucos escritores penetraram tão fundo na alma feminina quanto D.H. Lawrence (1885-1930). Com uma franqueza tida como escandalosa em seu tempo, foi Lawrence o primeiro grande autor a abordar o desejo sexual das mulheres e sua realização – muitas vezes desafiando o domínio masculino – em romances fundamentais do modernismo inglês como "O arco-íris", "Mulheres apaixonadas" e "O amante de Lady Chatterley". Voltando-se para a não menos importante produção de contos, a CARAMBAIA lança a antologia "As mulheres contam", com sete textos escritos entre 1910 e 1927, organizados e traduzidos pela primeira vez no Brasil por Patrícia Freitas, autora também do posfácio. Em todos os contos, é central a presença das personagens femininas – inquietas, complexas e quase sempre insubmissas.

About the author
D.H. Lawrence
2,314 books4,299 followersDavid Herbert Richards Lawrence was an English writer of the 20th century, whose prolific and diverse output included novels, short stories, poems, plays, essays, travel books, paintings, translations, literary criticism, and personal letters. His collected works represent an extended reflection upon the dehumanizing effects of modernity and industrialisation. In them, Lawrence confronts issues relating to emotional health and vitality, spontaneity, human sexuality and instinct.
Lawrence's opinions earned him many enemies and he endured official persecution, censorship, and misrepresentation of his creative work throughout the second half of his life, much of which he spent in a voluntary exile he called his "savage pilgrimage." At the time of his death, his public reputation was that of a pornographer who had wasted his considerable talents. E. M. Forster, in an obituary notice, challenged this widely held view, describing him as "the greatest imaginative novelist of our generation." Later, the influential Cambridge critic F. R. Leavis championed both his artistic integrity and his moral seriousness, placing much of Lawrence's fiction within the canonical "great tradition" of the English novel. He is now generally valued as a visionary thinker and a significant representative of modernism in English literature.
