Lady Chatterley's Lover
Artikelomschrijving
Connieâs unhappy marriage to Clifford Chatterley is one scarred by mutual frustration and alienation. Crippled from wartime action, Clifford is confined to a wheelchair, while Connieâs solitary, sterile existence is contained within the narrow parameters of the Chatterley ancestral home, Wragby. She seizes her chance at happiness and freedom when she embarks on a passionate affair with the estateâs gamekeeper, Mellors, discovering a world of sexual opportunity and pleasure sheâd thought lost to her. The explosive passion of Connie and Mellorsâ relationship â and the searing candour with which it is described â marked a watershed in twentieth-century fiction, garnering Lady Chatterleyâs Lover a wide and enduring readership and lasting notoriety. The text is taken from the privately published Authorâs Unabridged Popular Edition of 1930, the last to be supervised in D. H. Lawrenceâs lifetime. It also includes his witty essay, My Skirmish with Jolly Roger, describing the pirating of this infamous novel. This Macmillan Collectorâs Library edition of Lady Chatterleyâs Lover features an afterword by editor and publisher, Anna South. Part of the Macmillan Collectorâs Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover.
