Lady Chatterley's Lover (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169327016)

Lady Chatterley's Lover is a novel by D.H. Lawrence, first published privately in 1928 in Italy and later banned in the UK until 1960 due to its explicit sexual content. The story follows the passionate and illicit love affair between Lady Constance Chatterley, a young aristocrat, and Oliver Mellors, her gamekeeper. Set in post-World War I England, the novel explores themes of class, sexuality, and the struggle for personal fulfillment in a society that values conformity above all else. As Lady Chatterley defies her husband's expectations and societal norms to pursue her desires, she must confront the consequences of her actions and the challenges of navigating a relationship across class lines. Lawrence's vivid descriptions of the natural world and his frank portrayal of sexuality have made Lady Chatterley's Lover a controversial and enduring work of literature.Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically. The cataclysm has happened, we are among the ruins, we start to build up new little habitats, to have new little hopes. It is rather hard work: there is now no smooth road into the future: but we go round, or scramble over the obstacles. We've got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
