Summary

In 'D. H. Lawrence: The Complete Novels,' readers are presented with a comprehensive collection that encapsulates the breadth and depth of Lawrence'Äôs narrative artistry. This anthology showcases the author's diverse literary style, characterized by lush, vivid descriptions and an intense exploration of human emotion. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century sociocultural shifts, the novels grapple with themes of sexuality, personal freedom, and the connection between humanity and the natural world, exposing the complexities of relationships and the human psyche. D. H. Lawrence, an emblematic figure in modernist literature, was born into a working-class family in England, experiencing the constraints of societal norms firsthand. His tumultuous upbringing, combined with a deep interest in psychology and philosophy, fueled his desire to challenge conventional moralities through literature. The socio-political turbulence of his time further inspired his characters'Äô struggles for authenticity and self-actualization, making his works resonate with urgency and relevance. This collection is a must-read for those interested in the interplay between art and life, as Lawrence's novels invite readers to confront their own understandings of existence. Ideal for both seasoned scholars and newcomers, this compilation serves as a gateway into the profound and often controversial insights of one of the 20th century's greatest literary figures.

    In our rule at Silverado, there was a melancholy interregnum. The queen and the crown prince with one accord fell sick; and, as I was sick to begin with, our lone position on Mount Saint Helena was no longer tenable, and we had to hurry back to Calistoga and a cottage on the green. By that time we had begun to realize the difficulties of our position. We had found what an amount of labour it cost to support life in our red canyon; and it was the dearest desire of our hearts to get a China-boy to go along with us when we returned. We could have given him a whole house to himself, self-contained, as they say in the advertisements; and on the money question we were prepared to go far. Kong Sam Kee, the Calistoga washerman, was entrusted with the affair; and from day to day it languished on, with protestations on our part and mellifluous excuses on the part of Kong Sam Kee.

    So accustomed are we to numerous cinematic films depicting Dinosaurs (resurrected from their extinction through various dramatic devices) running amok amongst the human race, from King Kong to Jurassic Park, that we forget that it was the creator of Sherlock Holmes who was amongst the first to imagine such a scenario. 
     After so many years of the cerebral Holmes, Conan Doyle must have revelled in his colourful new character of Professor Challenger. He is a bear of a man with an appetite for self-advancement, adventure and controversy who leads an expedition into the forests of South America to vindicate his claim that a lost world lay hidden in that vast continent. 
    This is Conan Doyle away from the constraints of Baker Street and one gets the feeling that the author makes the most of the possibilities, pitting his heroes against dinosaurs, treacherous guides, inhospitable terrain and not least a race of vicious ape men. 
    Conan tells his rip-roaring adventure with all his usual descriptive skill and verve. 
    Head Stories presents Conan Doyle's "The Lost World" narrated by Simon Hester. With original music.
