The Rainbow (Unabridged) (MP3-Download)
D.H. Lawrence’s controversial classic, The Rainbow, follows the lives and loves of three generations of the Brangwen family, between 1840 and 1905. Their tempestuous relationships are played out against a backdrop of change as they witness the arrival of industrialisation—the only constant being their unending attempts to grasp a higher form of existence, symbolised by the persistent, unifying motif of the 'rainbow’. Lawrence’s fourth novel, and the prequel to Women in Love, is an invigorating, absorbing tale about the undying determination of the human soul.- Shop: buecher

Sons and Lovers: Penguin English Library, Hörbuch, Digital, 359min
Penguin Classics presents D. H. Lawrence’s Sons and Lovers, adapted for audio and available as a digital download as part of the Penguin English Library series. Read by Paul Copley. "She was a brazen hussy." "She wasn’t. - And she was pretty, wasn’t she?" "I didn’t look..." "And tell your girls, my son, that when they’re running after you, they’re not to come and ask your mother for you - tell them that - brazen baggage’s you meet at dancing classes." The marriage of Gertrude and Walter Morel has become a battleground. Repelled by her uneducated and sometimes violent husband, delicate Gertrude devotes her life to her children, especially to her sons, William and Paul - determined they will not follow their father into working down the coal mines. But conflict is evitable when Paul seeks to escape his mother’s suffocating grasp through relationships with women his own age. Set in Lawrence’s native Nottinghamshire, Sons and Lovers is a highly autobiographical and compelling portrayal of childhood, adolescence and the clash of generations. Part of a series of vintage recordings taken from the Penguin Archives. Affordable, collectable, quality productions - perfect for on-the-go listening. Language: English. Narrator: Paul Copley.

Iron Cowboy - Redefine Impossible , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 568min
Iron Cowboy is an endurance memoir in the tradition of Dean Karnazes’s Ultramarathon Man - a lifetime’s worth of intensely lived experience packed into 20 riveting chapters. Listeners will discover the secret to redefining their own goals and achieving great success. When James Lawrence (aka the Iron Cowboy) announced his plan to complete 50 full-distance triathlons in 50 consecutive days in all 50 states, the only person who believed that he could pull it off was James himself (and his wife, Sunny). An Ironman consists of a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride, and a 26.2-mile run. In Lawrence’s case, he would have to complete those distances and then make it to the next state in time to do it all over again the next day. Even Lawrence’s coach didn’t think he could do it; he penciled in another event the day Lawrence was supposed to complete the challenge. But with the support of Sunny and their five children in tow, and with grassroots support conjured always at the last minute via Facebook, Lawrence accomplished exactly what he set out to do. Iron Cowboy is the story of Lawrence’s herculean 50-day journey and all the wonderful, miserable, and life-threatening events that happened along the way, as well as a glance at his life leading up to the mission, and winning two prior world records. Lawrence holds two world records in the Guinness Book of World Records: one for completing 22 half-Ironmans in one year (2010) and one for completing 30 full Ironmans in one year (2012). In 2015, he set a record for completing 50 Ironman distances in 50 states in 50 days. Through social media and press, Lawrence was able to find fans in each state - anywhere from three to 500 people - to complete some of the Ironman alongside him, and supporters were invited to join him for the Iron Cowboy 5k (the last 3.1 miles of James’s marathon); for his last Ironman in his home state of Utah, more than 3,500 people showed up. Along the way, Lawren ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Millian Quinteros. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/182022/bk_acx0_182022_sample.mp3.

Sons & Lovers, Hörbuch, Digital, 137min
Lawrence’s style is bold, intimate and inventive and he always has the capacity to shock. His great strength comes from the realism of the characters he portrays and the play on tension – first seen in the exchanges between Gertrude and Morel and continuing with Paul, his Mother and his two women – which never lets up. Then marvel at the depth and quality of the writing as the story moves relentlessly towards its conclusion. Language: English. Narrator: Robert Powell.

Sons & Lovers, Hörbuch, Digital, 288min
Sons and Lovers, Lawrence’s third published novel, was written by the author at the height of his literary powers. The story of class differences (the relationship between a woman of middle-class family and a miner) in the tough world of coal mining, it brought a refreshing realism to literature. It remains a challenging text (and is studied widely). It is particularly effective as an audiobook in the hands of reader Paul Slack, who comes from Nottinghamshire. Language: English.

Side Step , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 36min
Picture a bar in Red Hook, a dangerous port in Brooklyn across the river from New York City. A horrible scene begins between Rebecca who serves beer and a customer Lawrence, who looks with one eye on Rebecca and one on the door.'I am pregnant,' she says. We, the other bar patrons, listen while she explains to Lawrence. 'I am being watched by a creature, and it knew of the man I was with...the creature is a a monster and facilitates such sexual recombinations.'What is the reader to think as the action unfolds? Is it the effect of too much beer? Some B-movie horror playing out on the TV screen above our heads? Or is it an attack on Rebecca’s cellular ribosomes by the growth of a wasp egg that would feed on her innards unless her brother Lawrence’s antibodies can defend against her enemies?Again, the scientific mind of Ronald R. Van Stockum, Jr. serves up a mixed-genre story that repulses the senses with images of wasp stings, pimples leaking streams of pus, and Lawrence’s suction of cancerous RNA strands, while also imparting a microscope textbook explanation of processes we never think about.Side Step is connected to two other of the author’s stories - Ollie Deaton and the Breathitt County Silver Mine and The Manure Pit. Van Stockum is always educational, always entertaining. (Mary Popham, author) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tracy Bond Bird.

Sons and Lovers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1139min
Sons and Lovers is widely considered by critics and readers alike as D.H. Lawrence’s masterpiece and a classic interpretation of the Oedipal complex. Surely one of the greatest autobiographical novels ever written, it tells the story of Paul Morel, a sensitive artist with a far stronger attachment to his mother than his working-class, alcoholic father. Searching for love and human connection, Paul is torn between two very different women, but neither of them measures up to his mother. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jenny Sterlin.

Love Among the Haystacks and Other Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 326min
This is a selection of D. H. Lawrence’s short stories, mostly about women. Although much wider known for his novels and in particular for his forthright attitude to sex and its description in literature, it is for his short stories that Lawrence has most commonly gained critical acclaim. He was a beautiful creator of this most difficult of forms, giving us glimpses into the lives he describes in his stories, which often tell us more than full-length novels written by lesser hands. Set, as was Lawrence’s habit, within sight of the 'great blue heap of Nottingham', Love Among the Haystacks introduces us to the character of the wild and disobedient German governess mostly referred to as 'the Fräulein', whose passion and rarity drive two brothers to distraction with somewhat disastrous consequences. Lawrence was married to the German aristocrat Frieda von Richthofen just as England was entering and indeed going through the First World War, and his description and analysis of the British attitude to foreigners, and Germans in particular, is telling. 'Mother and Daughter' is a delightfully awful portrayal of that most difficult of roles, the mother-in-law; and 'The Rocking Horse Winner' explores the other side of the equation with a son’s desperate attempts to help his overly acquisitive mother, creating a sharply painful, almost parable-like tale. 'The Odour of Crysanthemums' is one of Lawrence's most famous short stories. It marked the beginning of his literary career when it was published in 1909 in the hugely influential magazine The Literary Review. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Geraldine James.
