Maggiori informazioni sul libro

An authoritative edition of what D.H. Lawrence called "the most improper novel in the world" presents Constance Chatterley, a woman with a vibrant spirit yet deeply unhappy in her marriage to an invalid husband, Clifford. Her life changes when she finds solace in the arms of Mellors, the game-keeper, a man from a different class. Their relationship leads her from a chaotic outer world to a fulfilling inner life. This edition includes Lawrence's essay, A Propos of Lady Chatterley's Lover, where he shares his final thoughts on modern male-female relationships. It features the newly established Cambridge text, restoring the original words and correcting the 1928 Florence edition that Lawrence supervised. For over seventy years, Penguin has been a leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics offers a global selection of the best works across genres and disciplines, providing authoritative texts with introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, alongside up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
