In this gripping narrative, Lawrence examines the tension between the oppressor and the oppressed, unraveling the fragile balance between control and rebellion.

Wanting to write full-time he now began work on what would become ‘Sons and Lovers'.

H. Lawrence. El paso del tiempo y las conquistas sociales han aligerado al libro del fardo de su supuesta polémica, pero no han eclipsado ni un ápice el brillo de su belleza.
