Twentieth-Century Classics: Lady Chatterley's Lover

Meer over het boek

An authoritative edition of what D.H. Lawrence called "the most improper novel in the world" presents Constance Chatterley, a woman with a vibrant spirit yet deeply unhappy in her marriage to an invalid husband, Clifford. Her life changes when she finds solace in the arms of Mellors, the game-keeper, a man from a different class. Their relationship leads her from a chaotic outer world to a fulfilling inner life. This edition includes Lawrence's essay, A Propos of Lady Chatterley's Lover, where he shares his final thoughts on modern male-female relationships. It features the newly established Cambridge text, restoring the original words and correcting the 1928 Florence edition that Lawrence supervised.
