This book... Ugh, I can't really think of enough bad things to say about it. It was boring. It was insanely sexist. The main character was a selfish jerk with very few redeeming qualities. There was no plot. Women were used as plot devices at best, plot devices that were generally responsible for all the ills in the world. Abusive men were forgiven and the women blamed in their place. The main character used women for mindless sex and then got angry at the women when they didn't want to "belong" to him. In addition, I wasn't overly impressed with the writing style, blah. It was flowery and stupid at some points, while being repetitive and banal in other places. A terrible, terrible book. A book about people never becoming themselves but failing at transcending themselves. This novel is of an English family and their financial conditions that are not so good. I remember feeling exhausted when finishing Sons & Lovers from my own emotional investment. This novel is incredible and very intense. I adore Lawrence for the emotional realism of his characters (I was blown away by the accuracy of Constance's consciousness in Lady Chatterley's Lover; the depression in his short story 'The Horse Dealer's Daughter'; and similarly I thought Lawrence truly captured the experience of a family suffering from alcoholism here). Very beautiful and sad, I'm excited to read more Lawrence in the future. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Lawrence's first major novel was also the first in the English language to explore ordinary working-class life from the inside. No writer before or since has written so well about the intimacies enforced by a tightly-knit mining community and by a family where feelings are never hidden forlong.When the marriage between Walter Morel and his sensitive, high-minded wife begins to break down, the bitterness of their frustration seeps into their children's lives. Their second son, Paul, craves the warmth of family and community, but knows that he must sacrifice everything in the struggle forindependence if he is not to repeat his parents' failure.Lawrence's powerful description of Paul's single-minded efforts to define himself sexually and emotionally through relationships with two women - the innocent, old-fashioned Miriam Leivers and the experienced, provocatively modern Clara Dawes - makes this a novel as much for the beginning of thetwenty-first century as it was for the beginning of the twentieth.

Bueno, el planteamiento está bien, pero le sobra mucho texto para mi gusto. Hay largas conversaciones con las novias (en especial con la granjera) que no llevan a ninguna parte. El autor nos obsequia con muchos párrafos informándonos hasta del más ínfimo ápice de los sentimientos y pensamientos del personaje. Hay otros personajes cuya función en la novela no se entiende, como los dos hermanos pequeños (una chica y un chico) que parecía que iban a dar algo de sí pero el autor los olvida con rapidez. Se encuentran rastros de Flaubert pero con tendencia a la dispersión.
Lo mejor, los capítulos iniciales, con un aire de novela social que luego desaaparece por completo, y los dos capítulos finales, donde Lawrence consigue poner cierta tensión. El resto, muy largo, no me ha entusiasmado. (
