Tenderness. Maclaud E.

Among the hills of Sussex and on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, D. G. Lawrence (for some, a modern classic, for others - a notebook of calmness and an apologist for obscenity) gains impressions for his last novel under the working name "Tenderness", which will become scandalously famous Like "Lady Chatterly's lover." In 1928, the official publication of this book was impossible - and the deadly ill Lawrence, desperate, was printing it in Italy by private order, a circulation of 1000 copies. Thirty years later, the public climate is changing, new winds begin to blow-and at first Growv-Press in the United States, and then the Penguin Books, in England, decide to publish complete, without censorship contractions, the version, perfectly understanding that they risk being involved in the court ; And their forebodings did not deceive them.

with journalistic meticulousness, Elison Maclaud sets out the chronicle of both trials that had historical significance for freedom of speech, and with love thoroughly prescribes portraits of fighters for this freedom.
