About this ebook
" The Lover of Lady Chatterley" (Lady Chatterley's Lover) is a work always remembered as a great literary classic. The novella was written by D. H. Lawrence in 1928 and had its first printing done confidentially in Florence. The publication caused scandal due to its sex scenes, and Lawrence had to make alterations to the original manuscript to make it more acceptable to readers of the time. As the title suggests, the theme of "The Lover of Lady Chatterley" is the betrayal of Constance, who is married to the noble Clifford Chatterley. Constance becomes involved in an affair and becomes pregnant by her lover, who belongs to a lower class than hers. Her husband, in turn, is involved with his nurse. The work makes a clear distinction between the two types of relationships, giving the impression that the author's intention was precisely to lead the reader to choose between one or the other. "The Lover of Lady Chatterley" was considered by the French newspaper Le Monde as one of the Hundred Best Books of the 20th Century. It is also part of the famous collection: 1001 Books to Read Before You Die.
About the author
David Herbert Lawrence nasceu em Eastwood em 1885. Ele estudou na Universidade de Nottingham e trabalhou como professor, mas teve que abandonar a profissão em 1913 devido a doença, passando então a se dedicar à literatura. Em 1912, D. H. Lawrence fugiu para a Alemanha com Frida Weekly, esposa de seu antigo professor de línguas. Eles se casaram em 1914, quando retornaram à Inglaterra e viveram precariamente de sua produção literária. Lawrence é um dos mais importantes escritores ingleses, conhecido principalmente por abordar temas considerados controversos no início do século XX, como sexualidade e relações humanas com características destrutivas. Seus trabalhos incluem "Filhos e Amantes", "O Arco-Íris" (1915), que foi considerado obsceno na época, "Mulheres Apaixonadas" (1920), um livro que foi rejeitado pelos editores ingleses e publicado anos depois em Nova Iorque, e "O Amante de Lady Chatterley" (1928), um texto proibido na época e que circulava clandestinamente. Além dessas obras, ele escreveu outros romances, inúmeros contos, poemas, ensaios, livros de viagens e peças de teatro. Lawrence faleceu em 1930, aos 44 anos de idade.
