Beschreibung

1915, First Edition, First Printing, by Modern Library for Random House. Hardcover- Red boards with black box with title/author on both front board as well as spine. Binding has some tearing across the top and rubbing along the bottom, as well as it being darkened from both sunlight and age. Pages tight and in good condition, albeit some slight underlining/ writing by prior owner. 467 pps. First Edition of Lawrence's controversial, overtly sexual novel, initially thought to be Part One of the author's "Women in Love". Much publicity derived from the November court case at Bow Street Magistrate s Court where the book was banned as obscene. Lawrence, given no opportunity to publicly defend his work, was understandably frustrated and disturbed, but still plowed ahead with "Women in Love". "The Rainbow" lists at number 48 on the prestigious Random House/Modern Library 100 Best Books of the Twentieth Century.  . Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 520
