Second Best

"David Herbert Lawrence was born on the 11th September 1885 in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, a coal mining town where the reality of a harsh life was only useful as experiences for future literary works.He was educated at Beauvale Board School and became the first local boy to receive a scholarship to attend Nottingham High School. After 3 years he became a junior clerk in Haywood’s surgical appliances factory. He was also attempting a literary career which, in the short term, led to a teacher training position in Eastwood and later a teaching qualification from University College, Nottingham. Lawrence’s first efforts were poems, short stories and a draft of ‘The White Peacock’. Moving to London and a teaching position in Croydon his writing attracted the attention of Ford Madox Ford, editor of The English Review, and he commissioned him to write ‘Odour of Chrysanthemums’. Wanting to write full-time he now began work on what would become ‘Sons and Lovers. In 1912 he met the older and married mother-of-three Frieda Weekley. They eloped to Germany and here Lawrence could see for himself the growing tensions with France. So keen was his interest that he was arrested and accused of being a British spy. In early 1914 Frieda obtained her divorce and they returned to Britain to be married just days before the outbreak of war. Owing to her German parentage, and his own public dislike of militarism and violence, the couple were treated with contempt and suspicion throughout the war years. Despite this he continued to write but his reputation in England was so tarnished and, mirrored by his own disdain for the country, he and Frieda left England in November 1919, first for Europe and then America via Ceylon and Australia.They bought a ranch in Taos, New Mexico and visited Mexico several times. The third visit in March 1925 caused a near fatal attack of malaria. To convalesce they moved to Florence. Here he continued work on ‘Lady Chatterley’s Lover’ which for many years would cause controversy. A renewed interest in oil painting resulted in an exhibition in 1929 which was raided by the police and several works were confiscated. D H Lawrence died of complications arising from a bout of tuberculosis on the 2nd of March 1930 in Vence, France. He was 44."

Stories About Miners And Mining

"Man has learnt to control his dominion by the use of what initially lay about him; wood and stone for shelter and building as well as resources from the plant and animal worlds over which he slowly obtained dominion. But as he organised into Nations and Empires, he needed more with which to keep the whole machine spinning. Society was growing and consuming more. But many of the richer seams of fuel and minerals lay buried underground. These riches needed exploiting, brought to the surface to be used and sold. In this volume our authors detail sharp-eyed narratives on people whose lives were connected and directed by what happened underground.1 - Stories About Mines and Mining - An Introduction2 - Odour of Chrysanthemums by D H Lawrence3 - The Mine Cart by Ryunosuke Akutagawa4 - The Luck of Roaring Camp by Bret Harte5 - An Unexpected Reunion by Johann Hebel6 - The Mines of Falun - Part 1 by E T A Hoffman7 - The Mines of Falun - Part 2 by E T A Hoffman8 - Her Turn by D H Lawrence"

The Foundations of Fiction - Modernism

"In this series we turn the pages of classic short stories to put together the literary building blocks of how a particular genre or theme began, how it built its foundations to become the well-loved and well-worn genre that it is today.Do authors have the same ideas at more or less the same time? Or can they sniff out an opportunity as to which way the tastes of an audience are moving. Success undoubtedly builds success and in literary terms we can more politely say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and the surest way to reach a hungry readership is to build on the fortune and flair of your literary colleagues. It’s a reality that the term ‘modernism’ was first used for stories well over a century ago. Like fine wines they have aged remarkably well. In this volume the talents of Virginia Woolf, F Scott Fitzgerald, Katherine Mansfield, James Joyce are testament to the craft, imagination and literary chops these authors have brought to prose in one of its most enduring literary movements. 01 - Foundations of Fiction - Modernism - An Introduction2 - Bliss by Katherine Mansfield3 - Bernice Bobs Her Hair by F Scott Fitzgerald4 - The Legacy by Virginia Woolf5 - The Dead by James Joyce6 - Here We Are by Dorothy Parker7 - Odour of Chrysanthemums by D H Lawrence8 - If I Were A Man by Charlotte Perkins Gilman9 - Tomorrow by Eugene O'Neill10 - Friday by Zona Gale11 - The Defense of Strikerville by Damon Runyon12 - Rooms by Gertrude Stein13 - The Mark on the Wall by Virginia Woolf14 - The Garden Party by Katherine Mansfield15 - Eveline by James Joyce16 - His Smile by Susan Glaspell17 - A Cullenden of Virginia by Thomas Wolfe18 - Miss Brill by Katherine Mansfield19 - The Golden Honeymoon by Ring Lardner20 - Winter Dreams by F Scott Fitzgerald21 - Kew Gardens by Virginia Woolf22 - Ariel's Triumph by Booth Tarkington23 - Speed by Sinclair Lewis24 - Araby by James Joyce25 - The Ice Palace by F Scott Fitzgerald26 - The Fly by Katherine Mansfield27 - White Bread by Zona Gale28 - A Dill Pickle by Katherine Mansfield"

Classic Love - Short Stories

"Love. Perhaps the one word solution for everything. An emotion, a state of mind that we strive for, search for. A wondrous force that binds, inspires, and a force that can spin out of control; unbalanced and fragile. Love reflects, changes and embraces us all. In this series we explore the many facets of love through literary talents that span both time and country. The Classic Love story is one that we all love to hear. But by classic do we mean the same story just retold again and again? In this volume our authors definitely take that on board but their narratives also bring different views, different understandings, greater depth, an emotional palette of hues and tints that fully colour this thing that we call love.1 - Classic Love - Short Stories - An Introduction2 - The Kiss by Anton Chekhov3 - A Modern Lover - Pt 1 by D H Lawrence4 - A Modern Lover - Pt 2 by D H Lawrence5 - The Gift of the Magi by O Henry6 - The Nightingale and the Rose by Oscar Wilde7 - Love by Guy de Maupassant8 - The Blizzard by Alexander Pushkin9 - Bliss by Katherine Mansfield10 - On the Gull's Road by Willa Cather11 - Madame Rose Hanie by Khalil Gibran12 - About Love by Anton Chekhov13 - Mrs Pierrepoint by Amy Levy14 - The District Doctor by Ivan Turgenev15 - Speed by Sinclair Lewis16 - The New Paris by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe17 - The Dance by Zona Gale18 - Those Who Wait by Ethel Dell19 - The Golden Honeymoon by Ring Lardner20 - A Haunted House by Virginia Woolf21 - The Fullness of Life by Edith Wharton22 - The Kiss by Kate Chopin23 - Mr and Mrs Dove by Katherine Mansfield24 - The Other Woman by Sherwood Anderson25 - The Grave by Guy de Maupassant26 - The Muse's Tragedy by Edith Wharton27 - The Lady with the Dog by Anton Chekhov"
