The Rainbow (Thrift Editions) - Tapa blanda

Lawrence is not fashionable at present, perhaps because he is just too good, and too gifted. Hardly any other English writer, perhaps only Thomas Hardy, comes near him in his ability to show the reality of people's whole lives, to present their emotions, and to depict the experience of living and working in 20th-century Britain. This is a unique and marvellous book, but we should also read his 'Sons and lovers' and 'Women in love'.- William Podamore --http://www.amazon.co.uk/review/R2RFHP029WZHET/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#R2RFHP029WZHET

Banned in Britain for over a decade because of its frank treatment of sexual love, Lawrence's controversial novel traces three generations of a farming family, spanning the period from 1840 to 1905. Peopled by complex, nuanced characters, the story remains fresh and dynamic in its explorations of the psychology behind romantic relationships and the effects of modernity on the individual and society.
