"For Alessandro Giuliani, the son of a prosperous Roman lawyer, trees shimmer in the sun beneath a sky of perfect blue, and at night the moon is amber as Rome seethes with light. He races horses across country to the sea, climbs in the Alps, and is a student of painting and aesthetics. And he falls in love, deeply and eternally. Then the Great War intervenes. Half a century later, in August of 1964, Alessandro, a white-haired professor, finds himself unexpectedly on the road with an illiterate young factory worker. During a walk over days and nights, the old man tells the story of his life. How he was a soldier, a hero, a prisoner, and a deserter. And how he tragically lost one family, but gained another. Dazzled by the action and envious of the richness and color of the story, the boy realizes that the old man's magnificent tale of love and war is more than just a tale: It is the recapitulation of his life, his reckoning with mortality, and above all, a love song for his family."--BOOK JACKET.

Lawrence's artistic achievement, it sharply illustrates his belief that materialism robbed life of its vitality and purpose...that tenderness and passion were the only weapons that could save man from self-destruction. The Signet Classics edition of Lady Chatterley's Lover is D.H. Lawrence's masterpiece just as he wrote it. It is the complete unexpurgated text of the original Orioli edition first published in Italy in 1929, the last approved by Lawrence himself.--COVER.
