LADY CHATTERLEY'S LOVER - D.H. Lawrence

"The Lover of Lady Chatterley" (Lady Chatterley's Lover) is a work always remembered as a great literary classic. The novella was written by D. H. Lawrence in 1928 and had its first printing done confidentially in Florence. The publication caused scandal due to its sex scenes, and Lawrence had to make alterations to the original manuscript to make it more acceptable to readers of the time. As the title suggests, the theme of "The Lover of Lady Chatterley" is the betrayal of Constance, who is married to the noble Clifford Chatterley. Constance becomes involved in an affair and becomes pregnant by her lover, who belongs to a lower class than hers. Her husband, in turn, is involved with his nurse. The work makes a clear distinction between the two types of relationships, giving the impression that the author's intention was precisely to lead the reader to choose between one or the other. "The Lover of Lady Chatterley" was considered by the French newspaper Le Monde as one of the Hundred Best Books of the 20th Century. It is also part of the famous collection: 1001 Books to Read Before You Die.
