David Herbert Lawrence (1885–1930)□ is an English writer of the early 20th century, known primarily for his psychological novels. The best of them is "Lady Chatterley's Lover", which started European erotic literature. This work brought the author the greatest success and the worst disappointment. Its publication in 1928 caused outrage in Puritan England, where sex was considered a sin, a dirty business, and the frank description of erotic scenes was almost a crime. The novel tells about the lives of the upper world couple Chatterley. He is a disabled aristocrat, she is a young lady who has no pleasure in sex and has already lost hope of motherhood due to her husband's mutilation,□- falls in love with a forester. The eternal theme: love, passion, betrayal, duty... Lawrence was tempted by the holy of holies - he "broke" all status differences in his book. The novel was recognized as immoral in Great Britain, it was banned, and the finished print was seized and destroyed. And only in 1960, after a high-profile trial that shook the entire country, the book was rehabilitated.
