Florence: : G. Orioli,, 1931.. Hardcover first edition -. Very good overall in light red boards with a small black illustration on front cover, black and gilt title label on spine (some toning to the pages, fading to the covers, and very light scattered foxing) in a poor example of the very fragile and rather uncommon dust jacket with several large chips, creasing and significant fading and toning and missing approx 2/3rd of the dj spine covering. Still a sturdy and tight copy. . Limited, first edition. Lawrence's last book, which he was working on at the time of his death, published posthumously - a book which grew out of his fascination with the Biblical 'Book of Revelations.' It begins: "Apocalypse simply means Revelation, although there is nothing simple about this one" and ends with an appeal to renounce materialism and false connections "Start with the sun and the rest will slowly, slowly happen." Frontispiece is a photograph of Lawrence signed and dated, taken in Chapala, Mexico, in 1922, with the same photograph reproduced on the front cover of the dust jacket. Limited edition, printed on Binda paper, #394 out of 750 printed, of which 700 were for sale. No. 6 in Orioli's Lungarno series. 308 pp.
Sinopsis
The son of a miner, the prolific novelist, poet, and travel writer David Herbert Lawrence was born in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, in 1885. He attended Nottingham University and found employment as a schoolteacher. His first novel, The White Peacock , was published in 1911, the same year his beloved mother died and he quit teaching after contracting pneumonia. The next year Lawrence published Sons and Lovers and ran off to Germany with Frieda Weekley, his former tutor’s wife. His masterpieces The Rainbow and Women in Love were completed in quick succession, but the first was suppressed as indecent and the second was not published until 1920. Lawrence’s lyrical writings challenged convention, promoting a return to an ideal of nature where sex is seen as a sacrament. In 1928 Lawrence’s final novel, Lady Chatterley’s Lover , was banned in England and the United States for indecency. He died of tuberculosis in 1930 in Venice.
