Англіє, моя Англіє

by D.H. Lawrence, Олена Ломакіна (Translator), Ганна Гнедкова (Translator)

Англіє, моя Англіє” — збірка оповідань одного з провідних британських письменників Девіда Герберта Лоуренса (1885—1930). На світогляд автора істотно вплинули події Першої світової війни, котру він засуджував як прояв найвищого божевілля, намагаючись у своїх творах запропонувати рецепт порятунку. Зокрема, письменник вважав, що людина має прислухатися до глибинних потягів та почуттів і дати волю своїм інстинктам. Саме тому всі оповідання в збірці про кохання — первинне, чуттєве, пристрасне, про стосунки, в яких “він” і “вона” прагнуть реалізувати можливості, закладені в людині природою.

About the author

David 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.
