Lady Chatterley's Lover

Lady Chatterley's Lover is an 1928 novel by D. H. Lawrence, about a young married woman, Constance (Lady Chatterley), whose upper-class husband, has been paralyzed and rendered impotent, so she starts an affair with the gamekeeper, Oliver Mellors.

Due to its graphic sexual content, the novel created a great deal of controversy. In several countries, it was banned or heavily censored. The free release of Lady Chatterley's Lover was considered to be an important milestone of the sexual revolution of The Sixties.
