Lady Chatterley's Lover

D. H. Lawrence

Sinossi

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.Praise for Lady Chatterley’s Lover and D. H. Lawrence “Nobody concerned with the novel in our century can afford not to read it.”—Lawrence Durrell, author of the Alexandria Quarte“The greatest imaginative novelist of our generation.” —E. M. Forster, author of Howards End

Into the War

Italo Calvino

"This book deals both with a transition from adolescence into youth and with a move from peace to war: as for very many other people, for the protagonist of this book 'entry into life' and 'entry into war' coincide." - from the Author's Note 
These three stories, set during the summer of 1940, draw on Italo Calvino's memories of his own adolescence during the Second World War, too young to be forced to fight in Mussolini's army but old enough to be conscripted into the Italian youth brigades. 
The callow narrator of these tales observes the mounting unease of a city girding itself for war, the looting of an occupied French town, and nighttime revels during a blackout. 
Appearing here in its first English translation, Into the War is one of Calvino's only works of autobiographical fiction. It offers both a glimpse of this writer's extraordinary life and a distilled dram of his wry, ingenious literary voice.
