Kurztext / Annotation

Der Ausbruch der schönen, jungen Lady Chatterley aus der leblosen Gutsherrengesellschaft ihres Gatten führt sie nicht nur in die idyllische Natur, sondern schließlich auch in die Arme eines anderen Mannes. D. H. Lawrence's skandalumwitterter Erfolgsroman durfte erst 30 Jahre nach dem Tod des Autors in ungekürzter Fassung erscheinen. Die Neuübersetzung von Axel Monte verleiht der konfliktreichen Dreiecksgeschichte, die in lebendiger, kraftvoller Sprache von leidenschaftlicher Liebe erzählt, den richtigen Ton.

Langtext

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.

LADY CHATTERLEY'S LOVER was banned on its publication in 1928, creating a storm of controversy. Lawrence tells the story of Constance Chatterley's marriage to Sir Clifford, an aristocratic and an intellectual who is paralyzed from the waist down after the First World War. Desperate for an heir and embarrassed by his inability to satisfy his wife, Clifford suggests that she have an affair. Constance, troubled by her husband's words, finds herself involved in a passionate relationship with their gamekeeper, Oliver Mellors. Lawrence's vitriolic denunciations of industrialism and class division come together in his vivid depiction of the profound emotional and physical connection between a couple otherwise divided by station and society.
