The Rainbow e-bok

In D. H. Lawrence's epic novel The Rainbow, we are thrown into a world of passion, forbidden love, and destructive conventions. Through the story of three generations of the Brangwen family, Lawrence explores the complex and often contradictory ties between desire, love, and freedom. In the picturesque countryside of England, we meet Ursula Brangwen, a young woman longing to find her place in the world and to explore her own desires. Through her quest for independence and true love, she is confronted with moral dilemmas and social prejudices that threaten to shatter her dreams. With his bold and challenging prose, Lawrence breaks taboos, leading to The Rainbow being banned in Britain for eleven years after its publication in 1915. It is a provocative and thought-provoking novel that leaves no one untouched. Through its compelling characters and vivid portrayals of societal norms and expectations, Lawrence offers a profound reflection on the power of love and the individual's struggle for freedom. D. H. LAWRENCE [1885-1930] was one of the greatest English writers of the 20th century. Lawrence's depictions of erotica and sexuality led to several of his novels being banned and censored. He lived in self-imposed exile for four years due to the reception of his novels.
