Surprisingly I’d never read this book before although as a schoolboy we would often pass around books for the passages relating to sex. I’ve also read a lot of Lawrence’s other books and enjoyed them. When I saw there was an audiobook version read by Holliday Grainger I decided it was time I discovered what all the fuss was about and the first thing to say is that she was an inspired choice to be narrator and even made the sometimes dull parts listenable. My guess is that, if the book was published today, it would be more rigorously edited to take out some of the repetitive and redundant parts though I wouldn’t want to see Lawrence’s mystical passages excised. For me it was more about class and the rapaciousness of modern technology than about the affair between Connie and Mellors and even their relationship was as much about a clash between the classes as it was about how men and women approach sex. It helped, I think, that I grew up in Lawrence country and I could recognise all of the characters portrayed in the novel. Though many would deny it I see little difference with the type of people we encounter now to the ones Lawrence was writing about. As John Lennon put it: “You think you’re so clever, so classless and free but you’re still fucking peasants as far as I can see.” This book was a huge disappointment for me. It seemed very long and boring, although in fact it was a short book. The sex scenes were quite brutal and didn't seem really necessary to the book, and I really didn't like the heroine of the book, I found her quite stupid and insipid. I could hardly finish and I didn't enjoy this experience at all. I don't think I'll ever re-read this book.

From my blog: https://dominikasreadingchallenge.blogspot.com/2019/09/lady-chatterleys-lover-by... Could have used more smut. When John Thomas and Lady Jane are properly covered up there's dreary philosophizing in their stead: about how Connie thinks everything is nothingness, and how industrialization is emasculating British men, and how Mellors thinks strong willed women should be shot. Though there's also a sharp critique of the English class system, not that that is all that rare a beast by these days. Much more entertaining are passages like this lovely, in which Connie bemoans the withdrawal of the post-ejaculatory penis: And only now she became aware of the small, bud-like reticence and tenderness of the penis, and a little cry of wonder and poignancy escaped her again, her woman's heart crying out over the tender frailty of that which had been the power.
Although written many years ago, Lady Chatterley's Lover has just been reissued by the Grove Press, and this fictional account of the day-to-day life of an English gamekeeper is still of considerable interest to outdoor minded readers, as it contains many passages on pheasant raising, the apprehending of poachers, ways to control vermin, and other chores and duties of the professional gamekeeper. Unfortunately one is obliged to wade through many pages of extraneous material in order to discover and savor these sidelights on the management of a Midland shooting estate, and in this reviewer's opinion this book cannot take the place of J.R. Miller's Practical Gamekeeping.

“Contudo, a primavera tinha voltado, as campainhas começavam a aparecer no bosque e os rebentos das aveleiras desabrochavam como salpicos de chuva verde. Terrível conjugação, a da primavera com um coração frio. Só as galinhas, que docemente espalhavam as suas penas sobre os ovos, eram quentes nos seus corpos solenes de fêmeas! Connie sentia-se, em todos os momentos, perto do desmaio.”
“O sol deu lugar ao frio. Os narcisos escondiam-se na erva escura. Escondiam-se assim durante o resto do dia e durante a noite, longa fria. Eram tão fortes na sua fragilidade!”
“E então, certo dia, um esplendido dia de sol em que tufos de primaveras coloriam o bosque e as violetas sulcavam os caminhos”
Estas imagens constituem-se em oposição com o ambiente circundante (a casa, a mina, a aldeia) onde impera a clausura, a submissão, as aparências e a neblina.
“Levantou-se, um pouco entorpecida, apanhou uns narcisos, começou a descer. Não gostava de apanhar flores, queria simplesmente uma ou duas. Tinha de voltar para Wragby e para aquelas paredes que presentemente odiava, especialmente aquelas paredes espessas. Paredes, sempre paredes! E, no entanto, eram necessárias por causa do vento.”
“O ar pesado cheirava a enxofre, mas estavam já ambos habituados. Ao longe via-se uma neblina, opaca pela geada e pelo fumo, lá em cima um pouco de céu azul. Parecia que tudo estava fechado, encarcerado. A vida era um sonho, ou um devaneio, mas sempre encarcerado.”
A forma como é encarado o sexo, nestes dois mundos antagónicos, é ao mesmo tempo central e sintomática de um quadro mais geral de esvaziamento do sentido. O sexo como ligação profunda, simultaneamente terna e violenta, é fundamental neste livro e na sua filosofia. Mas, mais do que pelo conteúdo erótico, este é subversivo nesse sentido mais geral, de recusa de um mundo industrializado, asfixiante, falso onde as pessoas já não sabem viver sem dinheiro.
As personagens estão muito bem construídas e movem-se pelo livro em constante fricção, como placas tectónicas, o que cria a tensão dramática. Este movimento é obviamente extensível aos referidos dois mundos, sendo que neste caso, é de salientar o papel da resistência individual – que embora impotente face ao resto do mundo, não se deixa de afirmar como resistência. Não vou conseguir mudar o mundo, mas também não deixarei que ele me mude a mim.
