The Rainbow

Meer over het boek

The narrative explores the intricate sexual dynamics and relationships within the Brangwen family across three generations. D. H. Lawrence's candid portrayal of sexual desire as both a natural and spiritual force led to its prosecution for obscenity in 1915, resulting in the seizure and destruction of all copies. This controversy rendered the novel unavailable in Britain for over a decade, highlighting its provocative themes and the societal tensions surrounding sexuality during that era.
