«Sons and Lovers» is the novel by D. H. Lawrence, published by Penguin in paperback (432 pages, in English).
The plot follows Paul Morel, son of a mining family in Nottinghamshire, as he tries to define himself between the absorbing bond with his mother, the distance of his father and his relationships with two women. Lawrence portrays working-class life, family intimacy and the clash between generations with prose of great psychological intensity.
A novel with strong autobiographical weight, originally published in 1913 and considered one of the first English narratives to portray working-class life from within.
Recommended for readers of English literature classics and coming-of-age novels with an interest in family and emotional conflicts.
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.
