Lady Chatterley's Lover by David Herbert Lawrence - livro usado

Writing early in the 20th century, Lawrence challenged the effects of modern thought and industrial life, believing they ran counter to people’s natural instincts and undermined their emotional health. He made many enemies and suffered persecution for his views. However, despite having to wait until 1960 for uncensored publication of Lady Chatterley’s Lover, Lawrence’s most controversial novel eventually brought about a radical and positive change to our writing, Perhaps the most famous of Lawrence's novels, the 1928 Lady Chatterley's Lover is no longer distinguished for the once-shockingly explicit treatment of its subject matter--the adulterous affair between a sexually unfulfilled upper-class married woman and the game keeper who works for the estate owned by her wheelchaired husband. Now that we're used to reading about sex, and seeing it in the movies, it's apparent that the novel is memorable for better reasons: namely, that Lawrence was a masterful and lyrical writer, whose story takes us bodily into the world of its characters.
