Among the hills of Sussex and on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea D. G. Lawrence (for some - a modern classic, for others - a record breaker of peace and apologist obscenity) is gaining impressions for his last novel under the working title "Tenderness", which will become scandalously famous as "Lady Chatterley's Lover. In 1928, the official publication of this book is impossible - and terminally ill Lawrence, desperate, privately prints it in Italy, circulation of 1000 copies. Thirty years later, the public climate is changing, new winds begin to blow - and here first "Grove Press" in the United States, and then "Penguin Books" in England dare to publish the full, uncensored version, well aware that they risk being brought to court; and their premonitions were not deceived. With journalistic meticulousness, Alison Macleod chronicles both trials, which were of historic importance for freedom of speech, and with loving care writes out the portraits of the fighters for this freedom. For the first time in Russian, "a hymn to freedom and creative imagination" (Madeleine Miller) from an author who "can do anything" (Elizabeth Gilbert).
