Lawrence's finest, most mature novel initially met with disgust and incomprehension. In the love affairs of two sisters, Ursula with Rupert, and Gudrun with Gerald, critics could only see a sorry tale of sexual depravity and philosophical obscurity. "Women in Love" is, however, a profound response to a whole cultural crisis. The "progress" of the modern industrialised world had led to the carnage of the First World War. What, then, did it mean to call ourselves "human"? On what grounds could we place ourselves above and beyond the animal world? What are the definitive forms of our ... |

First encountered in Lawrence's novel The Rainbow, sisters Ursula and Gudrun Brangwen are now grown-up women living in the English Midlands at the time of the First World War. Each becomes involved in a love affair: Ursula with the misanthropic intellectual Rupert Birkin, and Gudrun with Gerald Crich, a successful industrialist. The contrast between the two relationships - the former happy and fulfilling, the latter tempestuous and violent - facilitates an examination of both the regenerative and destructive aspects of human passion, while the novel's Alpine climax is revelatory of the intensity of close male ... |

12 ноември 1944 г. Когато прекрачиш прага на тази къща, тя пленява душата ти завинаги. Дженевийв вярва, че е подарила душата си на съпруга си - този, за когото се е омъжила твърде млада, но и който ѝ е подарил внушителното готическо имение Парсънс. Заклела се е да го обича до края на времето. И е излъгала. В деня, в който зърва Фантома, всичко се променя. Той я ужасява, но той я и хипнотизира... И тя не може да му устои.

И в същото време - той е единственият мъж, който може да ... |

Пристъпи прага... ако смееш. Тук, в извратения свят на пътуващия карнавал Сатанински дела, ексцентричната и опасна Сиби използва сякаш свръхестествената си способност да надушва злото.
