Lady Chatterley'S Lover

Regarded notoriously pornographic when published in 1928, the novel is a triumph of passion, an erotic celebration of life, exploring the emotions of a lonely woman, Constance Chatterley, trapped in a sterile marriage and her growing love for Mellors, the robust gamekeeper of her husband’s estate, in whose arms she finds refuge and feels regenerated. Together they shield themselves from the chaos of the outer world and move to the sanctum of the inner world of fulfilment. Then to everyone’s surprise, she makes the firm resolution!
The scenes of intimate beauty, the description of nature, people, emotions, thought and actions, class struggles and most importantly the similies and the lyrical style of the novel are enough to sweep off reader’s feet so much so that one is sure to rush off to get yet another Lawrence’s novel. Lawrence Durrell rightly remarked, “Nobody concerned with the novel in our country can afford not to read it.”
