Lady Chatterley's Lover

EXCEPTIONAL UNABRIDGED EDITION Read one of the greatest masterpieces of all time in a beautiful edition. D. H. Lawrence (1885–1930) was an English novelist, poet, playwright, essayist, literary critic and painter. The first edition of his novel Lady Chatterley's Lover was printed privately in Florence, Italy in 1928 - and was banned as pornography until 1960 in the United Kingdom. The publication of the book caused a scandal due to its explicit sex scenes, and the class difference between the couple. The story is said to have originated from events in Lawrence's own unhappy domestic life. This controversial book is now considered a brilliant masterpiece, within the canonical great tradition of the English novel. The plot is about a young married woman, Constance (Lady Chatterley), whose upper class husband, Clifford Chatterley, has been paralysed from the waist down due to a Great War injury. In addition to Clifford's physical limitations, his emotional neglect of Constance forces distance between the couple. Her sexual frustration leads her into an affair with the gamekeeper, Oliver Mellors... This outstanding novel is a must-read of classic literature.
