Lady Chatterley's Lover - Collins Classics

Informationen zum Autor David Herbert (D. H.) Lawrence was a prolific English novelist, essayist, poet, playwright, literary critic and painter. His most notable works include Lady Chatterley’s Lover, The Rainbow, Sons and Lovers and Women in Love. Klappentext 'A woman has to live her life, or live to repent not having lived it.' At the age of twenty-three, Lady Constance Chatterley is lonely, bored, and much to her dismay, an unhappy wife. After fighting in the First World War, her husband Clifford has returned to Wragby Hall with life-changing injuries, and the cracks in their marriage have begun to show. But when Constance strikes up an unlikely acquaintance with the estate's gamekeeper Mellors, she finds he can ignite passion and excitement in her life, and her once dull existence is irrevocably changed. Explosive upon publication in 1928, Lady Chatterley's Lover caused uproar amongst readers and critics with the original manuscript banned in Britain for obscenity until 1960. Since then, D.H. Lawrence's most controversial novel has been celebrated for its unflinching depiction of sexual politics. Zusammenfassung HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved, essential classics.
