Produktbeschreibung

"Lady Chatterley's Lover" is a novel written by D.H. Lawrence, first published privately in Italy in 1928. The novel is perhaps best known for its explicit and controversial depiction of sexuality, as well as its exploration of the class differences and societal norms of the time. The story revolves around Constance Reid, also known as Lady Chatterley, who is married to Sir Clifford Chatterley, a wealthy and aristocratic landowner. Clifford is paralyzed from the waist down due to injuries sustained during World War I. As a result, their relationship becomes strained, and Lady Chatterley feels a sense of emotional and physical dissatisfaction. Enter Oliver Mellors, the gamekeeper on the Chatterley estate. He becomes the object of Lady Chatterley's desire, and their relationship becomes the focal point of the novel. The novel explores themes of love, passion, and the challenges posed by societal expectations and class distinctions. Upon its initial publication, "Lady Chatterley's Lover" faced censorship and legal battles due to its explicit content. The unexpurgated version was not widely available until the mid-20th century. The novel has since been studied and analyzed for its exploration of sexuality, class, and the human condition. It is considered a classic of 20th-century literature and a landmark work that challenged societal norms of its time.

Autorenporträt

D.H. Lawrence was born in Eastwood, Nottingham in 1895, to a father who was a miner and a mother who was a home-based lace-worker. After beginnings as a teacher, Lawrence's work was taken up by Ford Madox Ford and others, and he made a significant mark as a novelist and as a writer of short stories. Often steeped in controversy because of his frank treatment of sexuality, but also because of his elopement with another man's wife-a German national-just before World War 1, Lawrence eventually was to spend many years in voluntary exile in continental Europe, and then in Mexico and the U.S.A. Famous in the wider world for novels such as Sons and Lovers, Women in Love, and the scandal-struck Lady Chatterley's Lover, he wrote over 800 poems, and several collections of short stories and volumes of essays. He was also an accomplished painter. Lawrence died of tuberculosis in Vence, in the south of France, in 1930.
