Lady Chatterley's Lover: A Propos of "Lady Chatterley's Lover" Tapa blanda - 2008
de D. H. Lawrence; Introduction by Doris Lessing; Michael Squires (Editor)
The great philosopher's final writings on the real and the ideal
In Timaeus and Critias, Plato presents his ultimate view on the compositionof the universe. Taking the form of dialogues among Socrates, Timaeus, Critias, andHermocrates, these two works explore the origins of the universe, life, and humanity, andhave remained a paradigm of science for two thousand years. Desmond Lee's translationpreserves the lucidity of the original, and his appendix on Atlantis is an invaluable sourceof information on this perennial myth. Timaeus and Critias is an essential text for students ofphilosophy and classics as well as literature and mythology.
Acerca de este libro
D.H. Lawrence's 1928 novel Lady Chatterley's Lover holds the distinguished title of being one the most banned books in history. Infamous for its explicit descriptions of sex and other vulgarities, it was only published openly in the United Kingdom in 1960. The book focused on the illicit affair between an upper-class woman and her lower-class gamekeeper, and it was received with outrage and intrigue, resulting in numerous abridged versions being published throughout the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s.
Because the first edition was so quickly banned from public consumption, there are many abridged and censored versions available, though few are as valuable as the original.
The first printings were bound with brown boards with an insignia of a phoenix gracing its front cover. The phoenix has remained a potent symbol for the book, in large part because of the book's victory in the infamous British Obscenity Trial in 1960.
D.H. Lawrence was a well-known English author who wrote many novels, short stories, and books of poetry. Not just an author, Lawrence was also a well-respected literary critic who wrote several essays regarding other famous writers, including Edgar Allen Poe, Herman Melville, and Walt Whitman.

Resumen
One of the most extraordinary literary works of the twentieth century, Lady Chatterley's Lover was banned in England and the United States after its initial publication in 1928. The unexpurgated edition did not appear in America until 1959, after one of the most spectacular legal battles in publishing history.
With her soft brown hair, lithe figure and big, wondering eyes, Constance Chatterley is possessed of a certain vitality. Yet she is deeply unhappy; married to an invalid, she is almost as inwardly paralyzed as her husband Clifford is paralyzed below the waist. It is not until she finds refuge in the arms of Mellors the game-keeper, a solitary man of a class apart, that she feels regenerated. Together they move from an outer world of chaos towards an inner world of fulfillment.
