Lady Chatterley’s Lover

Description

Connieâ unhappy marriage to Clifford Chatterley is one scarred by mutual frustration and alienation. Crippled from wartime action, Clifford is confined to a wheelchair, while Connieâ 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 estateâ gamekeeper, Mellors, discovering a world of sexual opportunity and pleasure she’d thought lost to her. The explosive passion of Connie and Mellors’ relationship – and the searing candour with which it is described – marked a watershed in twentieth-century fiction, garnering Lady Chatterleyâ Lover a wide and enduring readership and lasting notoriety. The text is taken from the privately published Authorâ Unabridged Popular Edition of 1930, the last to be supervised in D. H. Lawrenceâ lifetime. It also includes his witty essay, My Skirmish with Jolly Roger, describing the pirating of this infamous novel. This Macmillan Collectorâ Library edition of Lady Chatterleyâ Lover features an afterword by editor and publisher, Anna South.Part of the Macmillan Collectorâ 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.
