Lady Chatterley’s Lover

After her husband is injured in World War I, an English woman begins a torrid love affair with a gamekeeper in this classic novel, now a film on Netflix.

Once banned in several countries, D. H. Lawrence's lyric and sensual final novel is one of the major works of fiction of the twentieth century. It is filled with scenes of intimate beauty that explore the emotions of a lonely woman trapped in a sterile marriage and her growing love for the robust gamekeeper of her husband's estate. The most controversial of Lawrence's books, Lady Chatterley's Lover joyously affirms the author's vision of individual regeneration through sexual love. The book's power, complexity, and psychological intricacy make this a completely original work--a triumph of passion, an erotic celebration of life.
