    <![CDATA[Lyric and sensual, D.H. Lawrence's last novel is  one of the major works of fiction of the twentieth century. Filled with scenes of intimate beauty, explores 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, <strong>Lady Chatterly's Lover</strong> 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.]]>

    <![CDATA[Perhaps the most famous of Lawrence's novels, the 1928 <em>Lady Chatterley's Lover</em> is no longer distinguished for the once-shockingly explicit treatment of its subject matter--the adulterous affair between a sexually unfulfilled upper-class married woman and the game keeper who works for the estate owned by her wheelchaired husband. Now that we're used to reading about sex, and seeing it in the movies, it's apparent that the novel is memorable for better reasons: namely, that Lawrence was a masterful and lyrical writer, whose story takes us bodily into the world of its characters.]]>

    <![CDATA[One of the most extraordinary literary works of the twentieth century, <em>Lady Chatterley’s   Lover</em> was banned in England and the United States after its initial publication in 1928. The   unexpurgated edition did not appear in America until 1959, after one of the most spectacular legal   battles in publishing history.]]>

    <![CDATA[Mulanya dilarang terbit di AS dan Inggris. Isinya terlalu blak-blakan bicara seks, perkara yang kala itu masih tabu. Tetapi, antusiasme pembaca yang luar biasa memancing edisi bajakannya beredar luas: mulanya di New York, lalu menerobos ke London, kemudian menyebar ke berbagai negeri di Amerika dan Eropa. Dengan segera novel ini laris dan diburu banyak orang. Pada akhir 1950-an, pengadilan menilai karya ini tidak pornografis. Belakangan, edisi layar lebar novel ini meraih Piala Cesar 2007—penghargaan setara Piala Oscar versi Prancis—sebagai film terbaik.<br/><br/>Lady Chatterley’s Lover dicetak pertama kali secara pribadi oleh penulisnya pada 1928 diFlorence, Italia. Melampaui masa 70 tahun sejak era penulisannya, karya yang sarat kritik sosial ini tetap jadi bacaan inspiratif dan mencerahkan tak hanya menyangkut cinta, seksualitas, dan situasi sosial yang “cacat”, tetapi juga terkait renungan mendalam ihwal makna hidup.<br/><br/>Kisahnya bertutur tentang perempuan cantik dari keluarga kaya, Connie, yang merasa tak bahagia dalam pernikahannya. Suaminya, seorang bangsawan bernama Clifford Chatterley, menderita lumpuh permanen akibat perang. Ketidakbahagiaan Connie berangsur susut tatkala dia menemukan keteduhan batin di bawah rengkuhan Oliver Mellors, penjaga kebun di pekarangan luas milik Chatterley. Bersama si tukang kebun, Connie menemukan kembali harapan hidup.]]>
