Produktbeschreibung
Mornings in Mexico is the only collection among D. H. Lawrence's travel writings that focuses on the North American Southwest. The eight essays that comprise the original volume were written between 1924 and 1925, when Lawrence was working on the novel The Plumed Serpent (1926). The first four essays are quintessential first-person narratives while the latter four describe indigenous rites and rituals. Lawrence asserts that for indigenous people there is "no division between Spirit and Matter," a state of being that presents itself as a coveted alternative to the disconnection inherent in the mechanized fabric of the Western world. His sensory-rich approach not only provides a visual and auditory experience but also immerses readers in the emotional essence of the places he encounters. With insight gained through empathy, Lawrence explores notions of identity, community, and the interplay between tradition and modernity in this blend of travelogue and personal reflection. This Warbler Classics edition includes an extensive biographical timeline.
Autorenporträt
David Herbert Lawrence was born on September 11, 1885, in Eastwood, United Kingdom. His parents were Arthur John Lawrence, a coal miner, and Lydia Beardsall Lawrence, who came from a family of lace makers. David grew up in a working-class environment, which deeply influenced his later works. He became one of the most important English novelists of the 20th century, known for his works that explored themes of modernity, social alienation, and the impact of industrialization. His writing championed human vitality, sexuality, and instinct, often in opposition to the dehumanizing forces of modern life. Lawrence's most famous works include novels such as "Sons and Lovers," "Women in Love," and "Lady Chatterley's Lover." He was influenced by prominent figures such as Thomas Hardy, Sigmund Freud, and E. M. Forster. His works were often controversial, addressing issues of sexuality and class that led to censorship. Lawrence married Frieda Weekley in 1914, and their life together was marked by travels and an often turbulent relationship. He died on March 2, 1930, in Vence, France, at the age of 44, leaving behind a significant legacy in literature that continues to provoke thought and discussion.
