Sobre este artículo
This is a lovely copy of the D.H. Lawrence classic Sons & Lovers, first published in 1913. It is the 3rd novel by Lawrence and chronicles the early years of a young budding artist and his relationship with his mother--it is heavily autobiographical. At the time, it was called 'obscene'; today is it considered a masterpiece and the English author's best work.
This copy is from The Observer Classic of the Month Library, published in 1981. It is beautifully designed and produced; light blue boards with a gold design on the cover. The spine is dark blue with gold lettering. The dust jacket is light blue with dark blue type. Inside, the book is pristine, with no marks of any kind on any of the pages. There is an attractive bookplate on the inside front cover, which you can remove. The covers are perfect, with no marks and only the tiniest bit of shelf wear on the bottom of the spine. The dust jacket has a crease or two, it has been taped at the bottom and it has darkened on the spine.

Sinopsis
Though it is the author’s third novel, Sons and Lovers is often regarded as D.H. Lawrence’s masterpiece. The autobiographical work, which was originally titled Paul Morel after its protagonist, was set in motion with the death of Lawrence’s mother, Lydia. The author used the opportunity to reexamine his childhood, his relationship with his mother, and her psychological effect on his sexuality. Sons and Lovers had already been rejected by one publisher when Lawrence sent the manuscript to Edward Garnett of Gerald Duckworth and Company Ltd. Garnett made extensive editing suggestions and still — after Lawrence rewrote the manuscript for the fourth time — cut 80 passages, about 10% of the work, before its 1913 publication. At the time of publication, Sons and Lovers was criticized for being obscene. But the novel endured. It has been adapted for film multiple times, including the Academy Award winning 1960 film. The Modern Library placed it ninth on their list of the 100 best novels of the 20th century.
