View audiobookNone of That
By: D H Lawrence
Narrated by: Paul Metcalfe
Length: 46 minutes
Abridged: No
'None of That' concerns itself with the nature of desire. The man in the story is no more than an animal with base instincts but is attractive to women. The woman looks for something deeper, with imagination but in the end is brought down by the more instinctive man. Lawrence again seems to be saying that a woman cannot exist beyond the... Read more
View audiobookMercury
By: D H Lawrence
Narrated by: Paul Metcalfe

View audiobookIn Love

View audiobookThe Lovely Lady
By: D H Lawrence
Narrated by: Paul Metcalfe
Length: 41 minutes
Abridged: No
'The Lovely Lady' is a fine observation of a life - the lovely lady of the title - which thrives by sucking the life out of others. The two victims escape by a somewhat melodramatic and comical means but in the process destroy the lovely lady and form what will probably be a dull and passionless union. Read more
View audiobookThe Man Who Was Through With the World
By: D H Lawrence
Narrated by: Paul Metcalfe
Length: 10 minutes
Abridged: No
'The Man Who Was Through With the World' picks up the same themes as in Lawrence's short story 'The Man Who Loved Islands'. He asks if we can ever withdraw from the world, no matter how much it disgusts us. The ironic part of this fragment is that the hermit vainly seeks to think holy thoughts while all around him is the natural world which... Read more
View audiobookTwo Blue Birds
By: D H Lawrence
Narrated by: Paul Metcalfe
Length: 33 minutes
Abridged: No
'Two Blue Birds' tells the tale of the classic triangle of the man, the wife and the secretary, who struggle to work out what their relationships are with each other.

View audiobookA Dream of Life
By: D H Lawrence
Narrated by: Paul Metcalfe
Length: 51 minutes
Abridged: No
'A Dream of Life', is unfinished but there is enough extant to let us know where Lawrence was going in this story. He begins by looking back and bemoaning what has become of his generation, under the thumb of women and lacking the spark of his father's mining friends. Then in a scene reminiscent of 'Pilgrim's Progress' he travels forward in time... Read more
View audiobookRawdon's Roof
By: D H Lawrence
Narrated by: Paul Metcalfe
Length: 24 minutes

View audiobookMother and Daughter
By: D H Lawrence
Narrated by: Paul Metcalfe
Length: 54 minutes
Abridged: No
'Mother and Daughter' can be read as one of Lawrence's diatribes against women. Two women do their best to get along without men but in the end, as Lawrence always proposed, a woman cannot be fulfilled without a dominant man, however unsuitable he may be. Read more
View audiobookThe Blue Moccasins
By: D H Lawrence
Narrated by: Paul Metcalfe
Length: 39 minutes
Abridged: No
'The Blue Moccasins' has the charm of looking at some eternal human problems such as unequal marriage, the waning of sexual desire and a woman who cannot give herself wholly to her husband in a thoroughly English and local setting; the stage of an amateur dramatic society where all the passions and delusions come to a head.

View audiobookThings
By: D H Lawrence
Narrated by: Paul Metcalfe
Length: 25 minutes
Abridged: No
'Things' takes a cutting look at two 'idealistic' young Americans who travel Europe in an attempt to give their spoiled lives some meaning and in the end settle for suburban America, surrounded by their possessions, their 'things'. Read more
View audiobookThe Undying Man
By: D H Lawrence
Narrated by: Paul Metcalfe
Length: 8 minutes
Abridged: No
'The Undying Man' is a slight unfinished piece, drawing its inspiration from Shelley's 'Frankenstein' about the creation of life and the fear of death. It is interesting to speculate where Lawrence would have gone with the story but the sound of broken glass is the most likely ending.
