Sea and Sardinia (Warbler Classics Annotated Edition)

D. H. Lawrence

Sea and Sardinia is a penetrating study of a time and place as seen through the thoughts and expectations of one of the most candid, eloquent writers of the twentieth century. It chronicles the brief excursion from Taormina to Sardinia that Lawrence and his wife Frieda (affectionately known as Queen Bee) undertook in 1921. With stops in Cagliari, Mandas, Sorgono, and Nuoro, Lawrence keenly observes the intricacies of everyday existence and the distinctive cultural fabric of the region's inhabitants. Blending personal experiences with a broader commentary on the profound connections between people and their environment, his poignant narrative oscillates between vividly descriptive passages and profound philosophical insights. This Warbler Classics edition includes an extensive biographical timeline.

About the Author

Lawrence, D. H.: - D. H. Lawrence (1885-1930) was an English novelist, poet, essayist, and literary critic renowned for his provocative exploration of human emotions, sexuality, and societal norms. Born in the coal-mining town of Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, Lawrence's modernist works like Sons and Lovers, The Rainbow, Women in Love, and Lady Chatterley's Lover challenged prevailing conventions of his time, delving deeply into social alienation, modernity, and industrialization. Despite facing censorship and controversy, Lawrence's literary legacy endures as a testament to his daring and original contributions to literature and his unyielding quest for authenticity in artistic expression.
