Lady Chatterleys Lover Bantam Classics

"Nobody concerned with the novel in our century can afford not to read it." —Lawrence Durrell

Lyric and sensual, D.H. Lawrence s last novel is one of the major works of fiction of the twentieth century. Filled with scenes of intimate beauty, explores the emotions of a lonely woman trapped in a sterile marriage and her growing love for the robust gamekeeper of her husband s estate. The most controversial of Lawrence s books, Lady Chatterly s Lover joyously affirms the author s vision of individual regeneration through sexual love. The book s power, complexity, and psychological intricacy make this a completely original work—a triumph of passion, an erotic celebration of life.
