Paperback, Excellent condition

Written By: D.H. Lawrence

“Lady Chatterley’s Lover” is a novel written by D.H. Lawrence, first published privately in 1928 and then more widely in 1960. The book explores themes of love, class, and sexuality in the context of early 20th-century England.

The story centers around Constance Reid, a young woman married to Sir Clifford Chatterley, a wealthy and intellectual aristocrat who is paralyzed from the waist down due to injuries sustained in World War I. The couple’s relationship becomes strained as Clifford’s disability prevents them from having a fulfilling physical relationship.

Constance, feeling emotionally and physically neglected, embarks on an affair with the estate’s gamekeeper, Oliver Mellors. Mellors is a rough and passionate man who represents a stark contrast to Clifford’s intellectualism. Their relationship becomes a journey of sexual discovery and emotional awakening for Constance, challenging societal norms and the constraints of her class.

The novel is notorious for its explicit depiction of sexual relationships and was the subject of an obscenity trial in the United Kingdom in 1960. It has since been recognized as a literary classic for its exploration of human relationships, desire, and the impact of social norms on personal freedom.
