内容简介
Written and privately published in Florence in 1928, Lady Chatterley’s Lover was denied unexpurgated publication in England until 1960.
D.H Lawrence’s uncompromisingly candid novel deals in poetic and sexually explicit language with the passionate relationship between Lady Constance Chatterley and her husband’s powerfully masculine gamekeeper, Oliver Mellors.
Trapped in a marriage, which has become sterile and joyless since her husband’s return from the trenches partially paralysed and confined to a wheelchair, Connie seizes the chance of sexual fulfilment she had thought lost forever. Sir Clifford Chatterley is enlightened enough to allow Connie a measure of freedom, but when, pregnant with Mellors’ child, she confesses to the affair, the reality of her association with his gamekeeper is more than he can bear.
A watershed in twentieth-century literary fiction because of its sensational content, the novel has earned for itself an enduring readership and lasting notoriety.
