D. H. Lawrence s frank portrayal of an extramarital affair, newly in the public domain and the basis of the Netflix show of the same name, now freshly repackaged for the Union Square & Co. Signature Classics line.
Inspired by the long-standing affair between D. H. Lawrence s German wife and an Italian peasant,?Lady Chatterley s Lover?follows the intense passions of Constance Chatterley. Trapped in an unhappy marriage to an aristocrat whose war wounds have left him paralyzed and impotent, Constance enters into a liaison with the gamekeeper Mellors. Originally banned in multiple countries, Lady Chatterley s Lover is an unapologetic portrayal of pleasure recognized as Lawrence s best novel (Anais Nin) and one of the most important works of fiction of the century (Archibald MacLeish).
