Stockholm, Jan Förlag, 1946. Cloth. The first Swedish unexpurgated authorized edition of D. H. Lawrence's famously controversial novel. An uncommon edition of this work in the publisher's original cloth binding. The first Swedish unexpurgated authorized edition of D. H. Lawrence's notorious novel, published in 1946 by Jan Förlag, Victor Pettersons Bokindustriaktiebolag, in Stockholm, Sweden. Published before the UK's unexpurgated edition, this edition is now uncommon to see. 'Lady Chatterley's Lover' was a controversial novel when first published. An unexpurgated edition was not openly published in the UK until 1960, when it was the subject of an important obscenity trial against Penguin Books. The book had been banned due to its sexually explicit nature and for its use of profanities. The novel centres on a love affair between upper-class Lady Chatterley and the working-class gamekeeper Oliver Mellors, offering an important commentary on the class prejudices of the time. In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, in excellent condition. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean except for offsetting to the half title page, and to the page facing the half title page, and the odd spot to the first and last few pages. Very Good Indeed .
