«L'épine dans la chair» is D.H. Lawrence's collection of short stories, published by Folio in paperback (128 pages, in French).
The work brings together three stories centred on women trapped between social conventions and their own desires, with characters torn between duty and passion. Lawrence portrays with a critical eye the weight of norms and the search for freedom in the England of his time, through everyday situations charged with emotional tension.
The book, published by Folio in 2008, is translated into French by Colette Vercken and includes, among others, the story that gives the volume its title, «L'épine dans la chair».
Recommended for readers of classic fiction and short stories, as well as for those who want to approach D.H. Lawrence's narrative in French.
David Herbert Lawrence was an English novelist, short story writer, poet, playwright, literary critic, travel writer, essayist, and painter. His modernist works reflect on modernity, social alienation and industrialisation, while championing sexuality, vitality and instinct. Four of his most famous novels – Sons and Lovers (1913), The Rainbow (1915), Women in Love (1920), and Lady Chatterley's Lover (1928) – were the subject of censorship trials for their radical portrayals of romance, sexuality, and use of explicit language.
