Description
Lady Chatterley's Lover: Cambridge Lawrence Edition (Penguin Classics) is a landmark novel that has been at the centre of controversy since its publication in 1928. The unexpurgated edition was not widely available in the US until 1959, after a highly publicised legal battle. This Penguin Classics edition features an introduction and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as an up-to-date translation by an award-winning translator. The novel tells the story of Constance Chatterley, a woman who feels trapped in her marriage and finds solace in the arms of Mellors, a game-keeper. As she navigates an inner world of fulfillment, she moves away from the chaos of her outer world. This Penguin Classics edition offers a unique opportunity to explore a major work of 20th-century literature. With over 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. This edition is part of a series that provides authoritative texts, making it an ideal choice for readers seeking a nuanced understanding of this complex and thought-provoking novel.
