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.

Descripción de contraportada
'A woman has to live her life, or live to repent not having lived it.'
At the age of twenty-three, Lady Constance Chatterley is lonely, bored, and much to her dismay, an unhappy wife. After fighting in the First World War, her husband Clifford has returned to Wragby Hall with life-changing injuries, and the cracks in their marriage have begun to show. But when Constance strikes up an unlikely acquaintance with the estate's gamekeeper Mellors, she finds he can ignite passion and excitement in her life, and her once dull existence is irrevocably changed.
Explosive upon publication in 1928, Lady Chatterley's Lover caused uproar amongst readers and critics with the original manuscript banned in Britain for obscenity until 1960. Since then, D.H. Lawrence's most controversial novel has been celebrated for its unflinching depiction of sexual politics.
