Reseña del editor:

"Lady Chatterley's Lover" is a 1928 novel written by D. H. Lawrence. It is the story of Constance, a young upper-class married woman whose paraplegic husband has become distanced and uninterested in his wife. Due to Constance's profuse sexual frustration, she begins to have an affair with the gamekeeper, Oliver Mellors. The difference of class between the two forms a central motif of the novel, which soon became notorious for its explicit descriptions of sex and its employment of then-unprintable words. David Herbert Richards Lawrence (1885 - 1930) was a seminal English novelist, poet, essayist, playwright, and literary critic. Many antiquarian texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.

Reseña del editor:

Lady Chatterley's Lover' is a novel by D. H. Lawrence. The narrative concerns Lady Chatterley, a young, middle-class married woman whose husband has been paralysed from the waist down after a grievous war injury. On top of the obvious physical problems this caused, he also emotionally neglected his wife, which caused a deep rift between the two. Eventually, this leads to Lady Chatterley’s having an affair with her lower-class gamekeeper, which brings to the foreground the major motifs of the play: class dominance, and the inability to live happily with the mind alone. A masterful piece of literature sure to appeal to the discerning reader, 'Lady Chatterley’s Lover' is a worthy addition to any bookshelf and is not to be missed by fans or collectors of Lawrence's prolific work. This book was originally published in 1920, and we are proud to republish it here complete, with a new prefatory biography of the author.
