Lady Chatterley's lover

David Herbert Lawrence's 1928 book caused a scandal immediately upon its publication. In the writer's native Great Britain, it could not be published until the 1960s, as the story of an affair between the aristocratic Constance and a man from a lower social class was considered obscene and even pornographic. The book was published in Czech as early as 1930, so Czech readers could soon discover that it is an exceptionally powerful erotic story with undeniable artistic value. It tells of loneliness, hypocrisy, a slowly awakening passion, and the desire for motherhood. The sexual fulfilment that the married Lady Chatterley experiences with her husband's gamekeeper, Oliver Mellors, is above all a relieving escape from interpersonal relationships constrained by convention.
