Lady Chatterley's Lover D H Lawrence

Lady Chatterley's husband returns from the War paralyzed from the waist down. Frustrated by his attitudes as much as his disability, she begins a love affair with the gamekeeper, Mellors. She realizes that to be fully alive she must live the life of the body as well as the mind, but in doing so she angers the conventions of her day.

Banned for over thirty years for the explicit nature of its language and descriptions of sex, Lady Chatterley's Lover also exposes the dehumanization of the mechanical age and underlines the profound power of tenderness.
